    [Politics] Sunak's benefits shake up

    Nothing wrong with tax avoidance. We're right in the middle of ISA season. ISAs (introduced by Labour under Blair) allow people to save up to £20K a year without being taxed on interest, dividends, capital growth etc. All perfectly legal. Same with pension funds which allow tax-efficient...

    [Politics] Sunak's benefits shake up

    Please stop calling people trolls just because they have a different world view. You constantly post inflammatory opinions which seem to have no purpose but to antagonise some people. And when they respond? They’re trolls, of course. Physician, heal thyself!

    [Politics] Sunak's benefits shake up

    There is no "movement" to abuse the welfare system — you added that to whip up your own indignation. But there are certainly plenty of people who play the mental health card to get time off work. I’ve done it myself, and I personally know several people who’ve done it — especially in the public...

    [Football] Mark Beard new Eastbourne Borough fc Fulltime Coach

    Delighted they're staying up. I still haven't been to see them despite living locally for nearly two years. I've been to Town and United a couple of times but not Borough. Next season, definitely.

    [Politics] If there were a General Election tomorrow poll

    Deciding not to vote is an action in keeping with the democratic process. Why would someone not be allowed to comment along those lines? Second, I’m not saying here that I will not vote. But if the question is posed: how will you vote?, then you have to cater for those who plan not to. And as it...

    Wordle 1,034 5/6* 🟨⬜⬜🟩⬜ ⬜🟨⬜🟩⬜ ⬜🟨⬜🟩🟩 🟨🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 That caused me much more trouble than it should have done. So much depends on the choice of first word. I have 3 or 4 opening words that I cycle through and one of them would have cracked it quickly — almost certainly within 3. But I didn’t...

    [Albion] I Just Don’t Care Anymore

    I’m envious. I seem to have become ever more obsessed with footbal. It takes up far too much of my time. I’d love to grow disenchanted.

    My first SLR was a Pentax K1000. Great camera to learn on. Everything was manual of course.

    If you have Lightroom, you could try dehaze to brink up the contours and contrasts in the sky. I suspect PhotoShop etc. has something similar. Mind you, if it’s a jpeg the picture may not have captured enough digital data to work with.

    [NSC] Wristwatches,do you wear one ?

    As I said, "I love a nice watch." At one time, a traditional analogue watch was all there was. Now there are many alternatives to choose from, depending on your needs, preferences, lifestyle, budget, and so on. No criticism was made, or intended, of anyone with different preferences.
