As some of us are sadly old enough to remember well :thumbsup:

BBC 4-week forecast, and the Met Office's one-month forecast, both predicting average or slightly-above-average temperatures right through to late February, and therefore no snow except occasionally on the highest Scottish mountains. For those who do want some snow, the only tiny sliver of...

And those who fell for these lies, or chose to believe them because they reinforced their political views or prejudices, now dismiss criticism with the a lazy claim that "Yeah, but all politicians lie; they're all as bad as each other. Wouldn't be any different if any other party was in...

His book The Thousand Autumns of Jacob De Zoet is one of my favourite novels, but this latest is disappointing, and lacks the originality and quirkiness of his earlier novels. By the way, this is not David Mitchell the comedian/TV presenter/quiz-show panelist! The premise of this books is...

Rats and sinking ships, eh? "A Conservative minister in the House of Lords has resigned attacking the government's handling of fraudulent Covid business loans." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-60117513 All-in-all it's just another, crumbling Red Wall :lol:

I always hope that Bristol City will get promoted, simply so I can see us play in the West Country, but City are languishing in 16th place at present, so won't be coming up this season. Last time I went to Ashton Gate was when Steve Sidwell scored with that cheeky lob from the centre circle...

True, but when it is actually put in to words by an MP who was there at the time.......

Sadly, millions of people are still defending him, often by claiming that "All politicians are corrupt or incompetent/Labour or the Lib Dems would be just as bad, if not worse." I've said all along that many of Johnson's supporters are our equivalent of Trump fanatics in the US - he could...

Apparently, back in 1993 under John Major, quite a few Tory MPs were 'persuaded' to vote for the Maastricht Treaty (which formally created the European Union) because the whips blackmailed them, by threatening to publicly leak details of their alcoholism, debts, gambling addiction, affairs with...

I've got a good feeling about this after our recent performances, which will have boosted confidence: 1 - 2 :)

Very happy with that - we've come such a long way, baby!

Awful news. Really hope she makes a good recovery. I've always loved her first three albums.

Survival of the Thickest. As always with these type of people, too damn stupid to realise their contradictions and hypocrisy - self-styled libertarians shouting about 'individual freedom' and 'protect my rights', but who want to suppress the freedom and rights of those who choose to get jabbed...

Looking forward to Nigel Farage complaining about an East European being sent home :lolol:

Neil Shipperley's lawyer said that "everything came to a crescendo on the day in question" :lolol:

Oh dear, typically pathetic "what aboutery?" from someone desperate to deflect attention from Johnson's renowned arrogance, corruption, dishonesty and incompetence. Are you one of the "all politicians are as bad as each other?" types who idolises Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage and Donald Trump as...

I think a lot of the love of the Royal Family is actually love of the Queen herself, as she's been on the Throne for most of our lives, and seems to have done a good job (I say that as a non-Royalist); I admire and respect her as a person, without caring about the institution. However, because...

What I have noticed repeatedly in recent years, when encountering always-angry working-class Tories and Brexiters - often blokes who look like Phil Mitchell in Eastenders - on social media is that they almost always adore Boris Johnson, Nigel Farage and Donald Trump. So they 'follow' or 'like'...
