@maique My father-in-law went on one yesterday but didnโt use the slide ๐ And my nephews and son were jumping off the cliffs this afternoon from the side you took the photo from. Coincidences!
@maique We had a great time! Four elderly relatives with us so there were limits as to what we could do, but enjoyed good food, sea and sand ๐
@maique And that cove looks incredibly like Cala en Bosc, where weโve been staying!
@maique Enjoy Menorca ๐ช๐ธ
Weโve just spent a week here on a big family holiday (14 of us!) - leaving tomorrow morning ๐ข

@antonzuiker Some big fans out there - of football and Wikipedia!
Euro 24. Spain ๐ช๐ธ v ๐ซ๐ท France. Half-time. That was an exceptional half of football, really looking forward to the second half โฝ๏ธ
I was meant to be going to a concert at Chepstow Racecourse this evening to see Hozier and Brittany Howard ๐ต
The event was cancelled by the organisers at lunchtime today due to flooding at the venue. We had very heavy rain for several hours last night. Summer in Wales! ๐ง๏ธ๐
@Burk And we learn that most people pick prime numbers!?
@pratik ๐คฃ
@pratik They managed it ๐ซค
@pratik Definitely! I think South Africa will struggle to reach that total.
@toddgrotenhuis I think you need to go to the Threads.net Settings -> Account -> Website Permissions and accept the Micro.blog Invitation.
That cleared the error for me.
@manton Would like to try cross-posting - my Threads username is thedimpause
@odd I heard a radio program mention the book last week and wanted to read it. Have also been watching some YouTube music videos ๐
@pratik Really good match - I was glued to it until the end!
@Munish But the rain has returned with a vengeance ๐
@JimRain Superb! I learnt a lot about Aneurin Bevan that I did't know and really enjoyed the production and the performances of the cast.
@Gabz Cheers ๐ป
@writingslowly What electoral fraud? And any evidence of fraud that I have seen mentioned with any evidence has been related to postal voting rather than in person.
A total of 9 cases of alleged personation fraud were recorded by police forces in 2023.
(that was 2 in person, 6 postal and 1 proxy)
@odd No, not for us, now all voters definitely need a valid form of photo ID for most UK elections.
@ridwan Yes, me too. I'm sure the turnout for these local elections would be disappointingly low, even without any extra barriers to the ease of voting ๐ค
@adam Definitely should have kept hold of the land rights!
@numericcitizen I've used the ApolloOne image viewer for this sort of thing. But only the free version - it also has two subscription tiers and reasonable perpetual licenses, plus a free 14 day Pro trial. I've not needed it enough to buy the full version ๐คทโโ๏ธ
@pratik Thanks!
@stefp ๐
@pcora Thank you!
@crossingthethreshold Looks great from their website and I'm always a fan of tapas! I'll keep it in mind next time we're in Bristol.
