Merry Christmas one and all!
Whether we agree, disagree (or both!) throughout the year, if in 2025 we meet I’d gladly have a pint and shoot the breeze with any one of you.
Thanks for making this place such an enjoyable refuge.
Hope you and yours have a peaceful and lovely day. |

Still so unpredictable.
I reckon it’s a toss up between two outcomes. Either the polls are right and it’s Trump (just), or their madly off and it’s Harris by a big margin. |

Whatever your thoughts on the policy, how daft is this video?
Imagine this was a single mum pushing against the 2 child benefit cap. What would the comments be like? |

… since the play off semi final win against Forest.
I saw this week that Darren Pratley has signed a one year extension to his contract at Leyton Orient at the grand old age of 39!
Fair play to him 👏 |

Looks like yet another example of shareholders taking billions out of a formally public company which in turn will be bailed out by the taxpayer.
Does anyone have an example of privatisation of our utilities being a success? |

Thread | Tories shoot themselves in the foot (again)
at 18:08 24 Feb 2024
After the Labour fiasco in Rochdale, 30p Lee Anderson has popped up and will nab the upcoming headlines
So easy for Labour:
1. Former deputy PM loses the whip for being racist in an interview on GB News
2. Between the interview and losing the whip the ONLY Tory MPs to be openly critical were Javid and Ghuni - such an own goal
3. Over the next few days, others will come out and criticise, highlighting the problem further
4. Anderson will probably defect to Reform, taking Tory votes with him
5. Tories will have to pretend to be nastier to try and get those votes back
6. Labour benefit in all areas.

Thread | Accessing a GP
at 10:18 6 Feb 2024
I probably jinxed myself after in conversation in work last week it came up that I hadn’t has a day off sick for over 15 years…
Cue a miserable weekend, culminating with me trying to see a GP first thing yesterday. I’ve been left wondering if many are having similar issues.
I’ve been registered with my local surgery for 11 years and fortunately have never had to contact them so this is all new to me.
I rang at 8am and waited about 20 mins to speak to a receptionist. She took down my symptoms as a triage and said a doctor would ring me back.
Doctor rang back at 3 and said he needed to see me but couldn’t that day. I could be seen first thing today but it would be at a sister surgery in the next town over.
Went there, saw some kind of practitioner who could diagnose but not prescribe. Said I needed antibiotics so he’d do a note for a doctor who would contact a pharmacy with the prescription.
I’ve now had to drive home, sit here festering until this afternoon when I have to get back in the car and drive to a pharmacy to pick up the pills.
I suppose my question is, is this normal? Seems nuts to me. |

Thread | Gym playlist.
at 18:54 14 Nov 2023
After ending up quite flabby around the edges I started hitting the gym about three months ago.
It’s gone pretty well but I’m bored of my music choices.
Any suggestions for good songs to do cardio to?
TIA |

Looks like the Manchester leg is being scrapped, on top of it not ending in Euston or Birmingham New Street.
So we’ll have a train running from QPR to just outside Birmingham City centre, with the time made up lost by having to get to these stations.
It’s going to cost 2 Liz Truss budgets. [Post edited 23 Sep 2023 19:16]
