    Tory Leadership Race

    It's a sorry state of affairs all round.

    Tory Leadership Race

    It seems a number of competing vote-lending schemes from the Tory moderates went badly wrong. The moderates had assumed Cleverly was guaranteed a place in the final two. Some moderates wanted him to face Jenrick, because they thought he might then have a better chance of winning the run-off ...

    What have you been doing today?

    Reading this bizarre story in the Guardian. A GP is accused of disguising himself as a community nurse in order to visit his own mother and inject her boyfriend with a flesh eating poison. All because he was worried about losing his inheritance...

    History of family migration

    They were only ever four posts, and each one said exactly the same thing. I wonder which forum rule was broken!

    History of family migration

    I'd assumed it was a current or former regular GD poster, who had created a second identity for one particular purpose. I thought it was funny :)

    That was fun while it lasted! But LWL Watch is no more:

    History of family migration

    I'm so pleased to be today's lucky recipient :):) And I'm still trying to work out who you really are. I've narrowed it down to a few possibles!

    So, are you right wing or left wing.

    I mainly made that post to get the coveted LWL Watch deunuciation. But it hasn't worked so far!

    So, are you right wing or left wing.

    Since the end of WW2, when you average things out, the economy has actually done better under Labour governments.

    So, are you right wing or left wing.

    We Will Dance Again

    There's a very good article here in the NYT from an extremely respected commentator, who is a strong Israel supporter, arguing that Netanyahu has put Israel in terrible danger. EDIT: I'm not sure I fully understand the rules on sharing. So, I've removed the sharing link whilst I check it out...

    South African call centres

    With Esure, Morrisons and Virgin I actually asked where they were based. I have to admit, with OVO, I have just assumed. They have gone from most of the staff having Geordie accents, to all of them having South African accents. Call centres moving to South Africa does seem to be a trend. I...

    South African call centres

    Has anyone else noticed a recent move to call centres being based in South Africa? In the last year, Esure, OVO and Morrisons all seem to have moved there, as have some of Virgin Media's operations. A couple of weeks ago, I rang OVO to change from direct debits to paying on demand. I am well in...

    We Will Dance Again

    I'm surprised it's taken so long for this story to be posted on here. Wasn't it out a couple of weeks ago?

    What have you bought today?

    What have you bought today?

    I've never actually frozen butter before, but these ones weren't particularly well dated and they are more for reserve just in case.

    What have you bought today?

    Butter! I noticed a few weeks ago that Aldi had run out of their normal block butter. They then brought in Scottish butter, which was surprisingly really nice. Then Yorkshire butter, which was obviously delicious. But Sainsburys own brand butter is now out of stock. Googling shows people saying...

    Well played Miss Raducanu

    She's injured again :( The way she throws herself around, I'm not surprised she often develops stiffness. Sometimes just watching her play is enough to make me suffer a little stiffness myself.

    Classic F.M

    The video I posted originally changed somehow. I've edited my post with the correct video now. Hopefully this time it works!
