    And another one..

    Ok this is only one Scottish council seat, however it's one Reform didn't expect to win. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8dyy7e0dlgo It'll be interesting to see how Reform do in our elections next year. I can't call it one way or the other however I wouldn't be surprised if they exceed...

    Notable Obituaries.

    As with many great comedians, it's tragic to read he led a pretty miserable life. However in a (cruel) way, that's often what gives them the fuel to be a great comedian.

    And another one..

    I myself have posted on here with posts intended to inject a bit of balance e.g. yes migrants commit crime, however so do Brits, and the migrant numbers almost pale into insignificance. Nevertheless, I do feel government needs to sort the migrant issue out. And, for me, that would mean...

    And another one..

    It's interesting. If you read the articles about the four Afghan guys dressing up as Peaky Blinder type characters, the Taliban say this: The Taliban government's Ministry for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice said the four friends — who had become popular in their local Jibrail...

    No travel to the USA for ….

    The last time I ventured abroad they were still using biplanes so this won't really affect me if it comes to pass. However if I was a traveler and this happens, as a point of principal I wouldn't consider the USA for my hols. I'd only go if a requirement e.g. business trip. And yes I know...

    The most amazing Christmas gift.

    In many ways, for your nearest and dearest, it must be like Christmas every day having you in their life. I hope this isn't going too far, however I don't think it's a stretch to say you're like a modern day Jesus, and us on here are your disciples.

    What have you been doing today?

    Yeah I get that. However I weigh everything up these days re doing it myself vs getting someone else to do it. Although I kind of knew it was the battery and that the alternator was ok, the AA guy confirmed this with his fancier software. Old battery taken away, new battery fitted and tested...

    What have you been doing today?

    :) tbh I could have gone and bought myself a replacement and fitted it, but as the years roll by I seem to be less and less inclined to do these things compared to when I were a lad. I was a bit peeved as the price range of suggested batteries from them was £160 fitted to £250. He didn't have...

    If the residents of a village are mostly white, does that prove they must automatically be racist

    Based on the topic question, the answer would surely have to be 'no' or 'how the feck should we know?' It could be pure chance the village is predominantly white. If it could be proved the local estate agents and/or residents weren't selling property to any non white people, that's a different...

    What's the monarchy for?

    I'm far from being a royalist, so my personal preference would be to see them disbanded entirely. I've not given the alternative much thought, however a parliamentary republic approach might be my preference. If the monarchy is to remain, my personal preference would be to see their land and...

    Correct, completely and utterly different thing.

    Scam ??

    For me, it's about more than just the time saving. Some people enjoy the act of queuing at the traditional checkout, chatting with the checkout assistant etc. Some people don't. I'm in the latter camp. The least amount of strangers I need to interact with day to day the better :)

    Scam ??

    Well I took myself to Asda yesterday. Did my shopping, scanning as I went. Got to the scan & go checkout and immediately beside it, four or five people were queuing at the traditional checkout. I paid and left, meanwhile the queue hadn't moved one bit. I know what suits me better ;)

    This Will Not Work For The Patient

    Here's an analogy for you. Bob is a tyre fitter. He's been one for 30 years. When he first started in the game, he would complete the entire process by himself. Drive car into service bay, remove the wheel, remove the defective tyre, take a new tyre off the shelf, fit the new tyre to the...

    This Will Not Work For The Patient

    If Reform get in with a decent majority, I suspect those who voted them in will gradually think 'oh feck ...' on a number of fronts.
