    Roads that give cyclists priority.

    You're right, the rubbish DM the only place to report on this! How very dare they. https://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/cambridge-news/englands-first-cycle-street-bikes-34025896 https://www.localgov.co.uk/Englands-first-cycle-street-opens-in-Cambridge/64429...

    A waste of life

    Agreed. I'm not referring so much to the emotional side, just the practicalities and reality of it all. It will become even more difficult to navigate due to AI. e.g. someone is entering into 3,4,5 years of study in a particular field. However another question in the mix is 'to what extent...

    A waste of life

    I think part of the challenge is, even more so in todays world, obtaining a degree in whatever subject doesn't afford you the right to a job/career in that specific field, or even a linked field. Hopefully, if it's a valuable degree, it will help the person now or in the future in terms of...

    What are your thoughts on this? Would you like to see them in your area? Should it become the norm where possible? https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-15852919/Englands-cycle-street-bike-loving-Cambridge-despite-complaints-residents-motorists.html

    A waste of life

    What I love about YT is the way I can tailor my viewing to whatever I want to watch at any given time. e.g. I might watch a guy painting a door, then watch someone reviewing a car, then watch someone trying to revive a truck that hasn't moved for 30 years, then watch a lady trying on bikinis...

    A waste of life

    And because of this, many companies are making prospective employees jump through hoops as part of the recruitment process, often for relatively low level basic positions. As for jobs like casual bar work, as I touched on earlier, this is becoming increasingly difficult for employers (that do...

    A waste of life

    There are less such jobs. And where they do exist, it's becoming increasingly difficult for small businesses to employ younger folk due to increased wages, workplace legislation etc.

    A waste of life

    Nope, can't explain it. On the one hand, we have British people of all ages unemployed, on benefits long term etc. On the other hand, we have politicians telling us these migrants should be allowed to enter the workforce, so they're contributing. Eh? So we have home grown Brits sitting on the...

    A waste of life

    If the experts are to be believed, AI is going to be as significant a change (if not more) than the industrial revolution. When it comes to jobs/careers, times they are a changing sure enough. It's a very complex multi-faceted issue. When it comes to youngsters getting their first job...

    'Shocking' rise in school suspensions for racist, ableist and homophobic abuse

    Not allowed to do this, however what should happen is this. Head teacher at assembly, start of every school session. Right, listen you little ****ers, if any of you, ANY OF YOU, are even thinking about bullying other pupils, know this. I WILL COME DOWN ON YOU LIKE THE PROVERBIAL TON OF...

    Let the youth deal with it, they seem to think they know better than us on most things.

    I couldn't care less. Within 30 years I'll be bones or dust.

    House price gravy train may have hit the buffers

    Don't necessarily disagree with some of that, however for those who need/want to rent privately, unless landlords are buying the stock that existing landlords are selling (which is increasingly not the position) there's less availability for those seeking to rent.

    The Environment.

    Seems to be the way these days in nearly all aspects of life. OT but a while back I was watching a tv prog about folk renovating an old property. They found possible bat activity and did the right thing, stopped the works and informed bats.gov.uk. What then followed was months of largely...

    Will Iran and the US reach a long term cease fire this weekend?

    How DARE you suggest such a thing! ;)

    Is it murder or man slaughter

    Not referring to this case, just making the wider point. Depends what the defence and/or experts put forward as mitigating circumstances. e.g. you could have a wife who's endured years of abuse at the hands of her husband and she snaps one day when he's beating her up, stabbing him multiple...

    Will Iran and the US reach a long term cease fire this weekend?

    Surely one of thee most relevant questions is, once this is over, what are we left with in that region? A situation that is more stable and less volatile than it was before the States started this, or one that is less stable and more volatile? Or will it be largely the same as it was prior to?

    Funniest members

    Have to admit, as I've said before, I find the 'reported' and 'oh my god why?' banter funny, sometimes lol levels. Not entirely sure why. I think it's because I imagine you actually saying it to each other. Yeah, for me, that to and fro is funny, although not credited to a specific forum...
