    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    I bet Gullis would have no problem with Bishops 'preaching from the pulpit' if they were praising Brexit, accusing the unemployed of being lazy, or condemning striking rail workers, eh? The usual Tory hypocrisy; free-speech if we agree with what you are saying and its supports us, but...

    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    The very same; also, the Party which is also threatening more anti-trade union laws to prevent workers standing-up for themselves in an era of poverty wages, boardroom greed, and high inflation!

    [Politics] Tory meltdown finally arrived [was: incoming]...

    Yet Lord Cruddas thinks that Rishi Sunak now leads a centre-Left government, and that Britain needs Nigel Farage to resume leadership of Reform UK to protect and pursue genuine Right-wing and pro-Brexit policies...

    [Technology] Social Media detox…

    I'm only on Facebook (and NSC, of course), which I use sparingly. In fact, earlier this year I culled 2/3 of my 'friends', realising that most of them were effectively strangers to me, having 'friended' me because they liked a comment on a friend of a friend's post. I've since rejected several...

    [Travel] Mick lynch

    How much are the bosses and shareholders of the railways companies paid (the people saying they can't afford a decent pay rise), or the Right-wing journalists smearing Mick Lynch? Much, much, more, I bet. Funny how people try to score a political point about the 'exorbitant' salary of an...

    [Politics] BOJO still raking it in

    Astonishing that there are people prepared to pay good money to listen to his, er, um, lies, er, um, waffle [ruffles hair for comedic effect], er, um, [insert supposedly humorous comment about Peppa Pig], and, er um [insert random Greek or Latin phrase to impress the simple-minded], narcissistic...

    [Albion] ** Charlton v BHA ** - EFL Cup Score Predictor - Now in it's 12th SEASON !!

    We'll be a bit rusty (rather than fresh and rejuvenated) after not playing for a few weeks, so I'm predicting a scrappy, unconvincing, 2-1 win for us.

    [TV] Cormoran Strike

    Yeah, a nice light detective drama for a mid-winter's evening. I enjoy them, even though I prefer darker/grittier detective series, like the French Spiral and Scandi-noir. Of course, there is also the obvious will-they, won't-they, potential romance between the two lead characters, which adds to...

    So much for Tories being 'economically competent' - I bet he blames this on Labour and Gordon Brown too!

    [Misc] The Award-winning official "More Snow Tomorrow?" Thread [2024-25 Season]

    I remember that winter well; one of the coldest and snowiest ever. I was going out with a woman from Falmer village, and we went for a walk across the frozen pond!

    Sadly, the Atlantic also cools us slightly compared to mainland Europe, in the summer, so it is rarely as hot here as in Paris or Berlin.

    [Film] Films that make you BLUB

    Truly, Madly, Deeply 😭 The death scene of The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover; made even more harrowing by the brilliantly haunting soundtrack by Michael Nyman

    [News] Moving next to a venue...and then making a noise complaint

    This nearly happened to a brilliant small music venue in Bristol (The Fleece, which I'll be going to tomorrow night as a matter of fact to see The Blue Aeroplanes); it was surrounded by several large office blocks which were empty at night, but these were then sold to property developers and...

    [News] Five dead, eighteen injured but at least the killer isnt gay

    All of the above,. And sadly, there do seem to be a helluva lot of them in the US. Brain-dead Trump-worshippers. The sort of people who will defend killing gays (or liberals and Leftists), but will oppose abortion on the grounds that "All human life is sacred." People so woefully devoid of...

    An easterly wind would certainly be cold, but a genuine Beast from the East would need to be in January or February when Russia and Scandinavia are at their coldest; they are still cooling-down at the moment. Sure, we've had snow in December before, but usually, our 'best' winters (for snow...

    [Music] Albums of the year

    I've only got 5 of them: Wet Leg Dry Cleaning Mitski Sharon Van Etten Placebo A mate has strongly recommended that I check out Fontaines DC, which I intend to do soon. Very disappointed that Half Man Half Biscuit's latest (The Voltarol Years) is not in the list - I think it is one of their...
