    Second Thoughts

    Well, not really second thoughts because that suggests a mistaken opinion previously. But I am slowly approaching the point that I may be able to reconsider my opinion about the GD forum. Previously I have slated it for being protective and supportive of bigoted opinions. Now don't get me wrong...

    "Who said that?" Game

    New game: Who said that? Foreign words, statements and orators are allowed. Obviously winner gets to go next. I'll start with a dead easy one: "Ooh Matron!"

    Food Miles

    Further to recent comments I've made, we were doing the regular monthly shopping yesterday. We've changed our shopping habits since the pandemic to an approx monthly trip. So I photographed a few labels to illustrate the typical origin of items in French supermarkets.

    Is France better than UK?

    Just seen a humorous comment elsewhere, so I thought I'd adapt it for here. Well, France is better at being French, and UK is better at being British. Both are European countries, while one is good at being European, the other isn't, neither are good at being American. However, the British do...

    Accommodation Certificate for visit to France for less than 3 months

    Just to correct what I said before about Accommodation certificates not needed for visits of less than three months for UK nationals. That was incorrect. They are needed for family visits of less than three months where the guest is staying with friends or family, even though a visa is not...

    Gaza. A short but heart breaking video.

    https://twitter.com/i/status/1393922585843408896 It's not self defence when you target your prisoners. Gaza is occupied by Israel, its people are imprisoned in a small strip of land. That's not self defence, that's ethnocide.

    Unfaithful

    A man goes to a church, and is making a confession: Man: “Father, I am 75 years old. I have been married for 50 years. All these years I had been faithful to my wife, but yesterday I was intimate with a 21 year old.” Father: “When was the last time you made a confession?” Man: “I never have, I...

    Violence in NI

    Does anyone see the hypocrisy in blaming the violence in NI on the police decision not to prosecute attendees at a funeral? "If you don't prosecute some attendees at a funeral for breaking the Covid restrictions, we're going to resort to violence and mayhem!" :rolleyes:

    Passwords.

    I went to help my Nan with her computer yesterday. I found she was using a very long password: It was "DasherPrancerVixenCometCupidDonnerBltzenRugolphLondon" I asked her why she was using such a long password. She called me stupid. Everyone knows a password has to be eight characters and a capital.

    Moderators. Don't you love 'em?

    Copied from another forum, I thought it was funny. Do the mods have a forum where they discuss whether any action is/was justified? So that’ll be a forum full of moderators discussing how to moderate in there own private area, invisible to the entire forum??…… Does that work well? This is a...

    BJ's Oven Ready Deal Needs a Longer Cooking Time.

    BJ sold his deal as being Oven-Ready. Were the cooking instructions wrong, or was it not Oven-Ready? Brexit: Irish Sea border grace periods to be discussed Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis said problems with the trade arrangements had to be "fixed and sorted". Northern Ireland has...

    Democracy? What kind of democracy is this?

    Vinty suggests that EU is the biggest threat to democracy: :LOL::LOL: But in the kind of democracy that Vinty supports, (which appears to be to resort to violence) I'm not allowed to discuss this issue with him. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Is or should freedom of speech depend on your politic...

    In what way is Brexit done?

    As we haven't had a Brexit thread for a while, I understand from expat sites that France is not exchanging UK driving licences for French Permit de Conduire, unless a new driving test is taken. I'm OK I did mine some time ago, when I reached that age that UK licences need some medical clearance...

    Lack of Intelligence of Government Advisors

    I'm gobsmacked at the lack of intelligence displayed by government advisors. Just watching the news, and a government advisor, in his comment about crowded beaches last summer, he claimed that there was no evidence to suggest that crowded beaches caused a surge in Covid infections. I nearly...

    You don't always need to be PC.

    You'll need your sound on. The first time I saw this I wooshed through to the end to see what the punchline was. Then I realised it's all about the sound.
