As someone's just alluded to on a tv prog this morning, usually when a broadcaster does tv articles with parts of a speech edited together, they include a brief blank screen or whatever between the edits to indicate sections might have been omitted. They didn't do this with the Trump speech...

Yeah, across all their output there's a lot to like. Are they perfect? Nope. However many of those screaming for its demise have agendas of their own.

For all its faults, I still think the BBC is something we should want to retain. Note I'm saying 'want to retain' as I understand not everyone is proud of it, so I'm not saying 'something we should be proud of.' However, for me personally, much of its output is indeed something we should be...

Bought 5l containers of paint for doing up my BTL. Can't really say 'tins' these days ;) It's costing me more than the 10l size (a fair bit more) however I think carrying the 10l last year put my back out (uneven and heavy weight) so I'm sticking with the 5l as generally easier to deal with!

Something I've noticed as I've got older is seeing changes in my mum, aunts and uncles who in turn have obviously got older and are now elderly, some of them sadly no longer here. One thing I've noticed, perhaps relatively common in older people (?), is seeing them worry and sometimes verge on...

Our local council do a trusted trader thing. I think it gives a bit more reassurance as companies are vetted by trading standards and the scheme is backed by the council and police. Folk can then leave reviews. Not full proof (what is?) but gives a semblance of assurance if you don't already...

Maybe this? https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/conditions/panic-disorder/

When was the last time you had to buy your own drink in a pub? I imagine when you enter these establishments, you are inundated with offers from other customers to buy you a drink?

Justified? Not justified? Morally ok? Morally obscene? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15267487/Tesla-shareholders-Elon-Musk-1-trillion-pay.html

What are you talking about? We're tough on crime and boy do the wrong 'uns know it! Oh wait ... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15264795/drug-driver-killed-girl-sentence-reduced.html We're going to see more and more of this. Folk receiving less prison time and/or getting released...

The whole thing is a complete and utter mess. It was discussed last night on Debate Night (think Scottish Question Time) and it exposed the fact we currently don't have any substantial answers to this. For example, they discussed the fact 300 men are to be housed in the disused Army barracks...

You know how builders sometimes wolf whistle from on high to sexy ladies walking below? I suspect with you it's the other way round. The sexy ladies walking by look up, see you in all your perfection on high, and they wolf whistle to you :)

Here's an idea, get the work-shy back to work, those with low level anxiety etc who are on benefits and could be working. Get them paying tax instead of penalising the hard workers and yes, the investors, even more.

Or indeed is there any adjustment? Background. It's a fire door so I don't want to do anything that compromises that. The issue is when the door is closed and locked, it's possible to push/pull the door slightly against the gasket. Normally in this scenario, I would adjust the hook keeps to...

Drones dropping mobiles and drugs into prisons for collection by inmates. Folk chucking stuff over fences/walls for collection by inmates. Prison officers banging inmates and helping them in various ways. Prisoners running the wings not the staff. etc. Yeah it's fecked all right.

Can't take to Lammy, he comes across to me as smug and arrogant.

Don't worry, it won't happen again. Emmmm ... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15261013/Manhunt-launched-Algerian-prisoner-24-released-mistake-Wandsworth-prison-previously-committed-sex-offences.html

And another one ... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15258489/Mother-died-black-market-weight-loss-drugs.html

Don't blame him. I'm a LL (no I'm not rich, no I don't drive a Range Rover, no I don't make thousands per month on my properties) and I see down south they're now starting to make it even more arduous to be one, something we're already experiencing up here. They seem hellbent on driving...

This is the thing. They (politicians) love trotting out the phrase 'those with the broadest shoulders ...' and every time it's used I wonder who they're referring to i.e. from what starting point income wise.
