Re: Today I'm angry about.....

Seems to be a bit of a nightmare. Over here, if you can prove it was the other person's fault (even though we have no fault insurance) your insurance rates won't go up even for a large claim. In Pru's case it sounds as if he should quietly repair himself rather than claim as it is minor. Still, if y...

Re: Today I'm angry about.....

Some knobhead scraped down the side of my car. Bit of paper on the windscreen so I thought at least they stopped. No, a neighbour who'd seen them drive off and got their reg. Which I appreciate but doesn't help much. Police website doesn't work (shock) and no doubt they'll be less than useless. Als...

God bless the souls of the five submariners killed in the current undersea tragedy. Seems tragic in this age of high technology that contact could be completely lost for so long. R.I.P.. all and commiserations to their unfortunate families. The contact was lost, because the thing imploded under pre...

What's the problem with that Hobes? No one on Parler/Telegram can read it, because of some big words? If that makes the slightest bit of sense to you, then you need help mate :lol: Doesn't make much sense, but why "God help us?" I mean, it's a step up from "covefefe" It might make more sense if we ...

Re: Beware the man in black..Home v Fleetwood, Sat 29th Apr. 3-0'clock.

Having followed BWFC for some 70 years, I've come to the conclusion it is generally not relaxing to be a fan as many seasons draw to a close. Indeed it can be quite stressful as with this year.

Since the pandemic there are places here that will not take cash. You must use a credit/debit card even for $0.50. For example a Metro ticket (i.e. bus fare).

Re: The Politics Thread

Agree with this in pretty much every dimension. The only thing I'd add is the "Have you ever had a pair of bollocks" test...it's served society (as a generalisation) pretty well down the years, with obvious grey areas such as people with one bollock. :-) Certainly the Vatican applied the test to po...

Re: General Chit Chat

I suppose one of the problems with hospitals that have wards is one tends to catch things that one didn't go in to fix. Fortunately in our new super hospital all admitted patients have a private room. Our older hsopitals are all "semi-private" which means one other person shares the room. No wards. ...
