Quote: DaButt @ 3rd May 2022, 1:41 PMI didn't read the article, but my neighborhood smells like semen. The smell comes from numerous Callery pear trees, known as 'Bradford pears' here in the States. They're an attractive, fast-growing, ornamental tree that originated in China. They're weak-limbed and don't live very long. Check out the Wikipedia entry for confirmation that the flowers smell like semen (or rotting fish).
Do they go limp very quickly?

Oh how charming.
I have been all for you up to now but you have to bring the standard down don't you.
My semen doesn't have any smell so I don't see why anyone else's does.
They - and pears for that matter - should just wash more often.

Yes, except for the ones that grow near Viagra Falls.

A 'DEAD' woman knocked on her own coffin door at her own funeral in Peru on April 26, much to the shock of friends and family in attendance.
According to Daily Star, 36-year-old Rosa Isabel Cespedes Callaca was set to be laid to rest during a service in the city of Lambayque but when her relatives heard knocking coming from the casket, things took a strange turn.
The woman had been involved in a serious traffic accident in the region, which claimed the life of her brother-in-law and seriously injured her nephews - aged 17, 11 and five. At the scene of the accident, Ms Callaca had been pronounced 'dead'.
However, when the coffin was hoisted onto the shoulders of her relatives to begin the funeral, onlookers heard strange sounds coming from inside the funerary box and a weakened Rosa was found to be very much alive.
Cemetery caretaker Juan Segundo Cajo said: "[She] opened her eyes and was sweating. I immediately went to my office and called the police."
Aye caramba!

So did they carry on with the funeral or what?
Well yeah
Everything was arranged, can't exactly call it off at that stage
A Tory police and crime commissioner who pledged to crack down on speeding has been caught breaking the 30mph limit five times within a 12-week period.
The PCC for Nottinghamshire Police, Caroline Henry, admitted the offences, including two committed on consecutive days, at a previous hearing in February
Breakin the law! Breakin the law!!!
I wonder how it's going with those facts about beergate?
And why you have all lost interest in the topic.
There's also growlergate where it seems a ginger bird started it all herself.

I think you'll find it''s The Mail that has lost interest, now that it' smears can no longer can be used to swing the election vote.
Which it failed to do, by the way.
But still the sheep follow.
And Rayner didn't start it - it was started bybThe Mail back n February (look it up).
Entirely fabricated to deflect from Boris's misdemeanours.
Transparent, and as it turns out, ineffectual tactics.
Well done to all Labour, Liberal & Green Councillors for putting the mean spirited Tories back in their box.
Enough to win in 2024?
Maybe not - but it's a start.

Too late to save the Tories.
Smears lol, Keir's words. It's not a smear if it's true, which it is.
If it's Tories, heads should roll but if it's Labour, it's a smear campaign against them.
You really are a true left accolyte. Blind, deaf and dumb.
You'd need to be really thick to think there's any sort of equivalence between the unproven crime of "Beergate" and the multiple, proven, prosecuted & fined crimes of BJ and his No. 10 cronies.
Thick or brainwashed.
Or both.
But the great thing is, it doesn't matter anymore - hence The Mail dropping it like a hot potato.
The Tories got a well-deserved kicking - if you can grab some small solace from a highly unlikely £50 quid fine, then good luck to you.
But at least it's not just me calling for BJ's head on plate any more - half the Conservative councillors who were put out on their arse are after his blood too.
It's the lying about it. Rayner definitely wasn't there. Oh, wait a minute, yes she was. Why? Or is it just default mode for all politicians?
And the hypocrisy that one person lying is a resigning offence. Another'? Let's just forget about it & pretend it didn't happen.
The person who lied/made a mistake about Rayner was a press officer, for a start.
If we all feel he has to resign, so be it.
But the people who are saying lying isn't a resigning offence are the Tories.
The people who lied to parliament are the Tories.
If Boris asks Starmer to resign , I'd say "You first, Prime Minister"
