Re: General Chit Chat
First class stamp £1-25. (I ran a mailroom when they were thirty pence). When we were kids they were three old pence. T.V Licences £1-59 with a proposed 15 pence rise imminent.(These we supposed to be free to old-age pensioners, huh, what a hope. Britain has officially lost the plot. :shock: Police...

Re: General Chit Chat
I stumbled across the video on X last night, without realising what it was. 😬 The ‘aggressor’ appeared to spin and thrust his rising skate at a seemingly ridiculous height towards his opponent. That’s where the video stopped, fortunately. Not sure why people are still posting it tbh, when we know t...

Re: General Chit Chat
<t>Ooops! I've watched the video now. Though it wasn't very clear, it seems to me that it was not deliberate. I don't think the 'agressor' even saw Johnson. He was being checked by another player who spun him a little off balance. His leg went backwards and up because of the check. Johson was standi...

^ Hear hear! I only found out today that 'A small Eva Braun' is an anagram of Suella Braverman Amusing but,alas, not accurate. Suella Braverman has 15 letters, 3 a's, 2 r's and 2 e's.

Re: The Politics Thread
Yeah, know it's not leading headline, Monty. But it's just lying a fraction under the surface on pretty much a daily basis. Can't decide whether it would actually strengthen his base if they dumped him in pokey for a bit for contempt or whether it would just help things quieten down... :-) As for S...

All gone quiet this Trump stuff, which is not really surprising. What's the latest over there MW?

Re: Today I'm happy about......
Short time ago I got a letter from our new doctor informing me I needed a blood test. Paramedics came (I'm on a Zimmer) and did the test at home. Surgeon ordered bowel and bladder samples, wasn't entirely happy and booked me in for a full-body scan on one of those Dr Who, Tardis things. I duly unde...

Re: Today I'm angry about.....
About every line you could cross in 2023, he's managed it. Whether it's Internationally newsworthy? I think there's probably bigger news stories - but it isn't passing with no comment, TD.. Heck, it even had a ten minute segment on CNN tonight competing with the Wagner plane crash and the Trump mug...

Not at all quiet, but it's all over. Trump is producing an IRREFUTABLE and CONCLUSIVE report on Monday, to show he was right all along. Move over sleepy Joe. He's used capitals, which is always a sign of something being true and it's probably been written by Mike Lindell. Wonder if they'll flip a f...

I got lucky today. I didn't realize it was an early start so have just signed on. Therefore I missed this shambles. Small blessings.
