The Bullshit Button
Most afternoons a few of us get together for a coffee and chat for about an hour or so.
We talk about almost anything, memories, current rubbish on the TV/Newspapers, science, research, the latest conspiracies.
This has been happening for some time and some topics have become boring or exaggerated.
