    [News] Gideon Falter

    I am not sure that is what most are saying. Having watched the full 13min exchange that sky have published, I do think his actions (not what he was wearing nor where he alleges he had left) are the problem here. He tried to cross a march a number of times. The officer initially was very calm...

    [Politics] Sunak's benefits shake up

    I agree but my point is that the civitas precis would have you down as a scrounger despite the fact you worked all your life and are now being taxed on what is one of the worst pensions in the civilised world

    [Politics] Sunak's benefits shake up

    [Football] This 'yellow card' rule, did you know it?

    I didn't know the rule. But I would have booked him at the 1st opportunity as you point out. Even after his booking he was still trying things during the shootout. Give him a second and get him out of it He should now have a one match ban - cant see what's to talk about

    Bergerac?

    We knew warehouse as workhouse The office was another haunt but lamplighter was (and still is) a great pub. I preferred Randall's but remember Grolsch everywhere too. Now it's mostly liberation ale or skinners from Cornwall.

    [Drinking] The Pub Debate - Weatherspoons

    That sound like it. If they had a pub quiz the 1st question would have been ' what are you looking at?' But for £15 b&b nobody complained when they used the £45 ibis afterwards
