So the government is going to push through legislation to make it illegal for public sector workers to go on strike. Meanwhile oil companies continue to make obscene profits with no sign of a windfall tax being imposed. Yet people continue to vote for this corrupt government. It really does...

Can't put the genie back in the bottle

Saw an interesting program where one of the panelists said that the only reason any man aged 65 or over should be working is because he needs the money. Basically if you have worked to that age you have done your ‘sentence’ and should be enjoying your hard earned retirement after 40 odd years or...

I always thought the coffee you get at a Starbucks in the States seems much stronger (and better tasting) than the stuff you get in the UK

Samuel Johnson could not have put it more succinctly when he said "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel"

Sunak says he acted decisively so people could move on. Isn't that just Tory speak for sweep it under the carpet

Klopp was asked where you should go on holiday in the UK. His answer was you can’t beat Brighton!

Another vote for St. Mary de Haura in Shoreham. St Marys is just dripping with history and atmosphere and perfectly positioned in the town. It was the ideal venue for the Shoreham Wordfest Appreciating Shakespeare festival that was held last year. I was surprised how good the acoustics were inside

I like a new definition I saw of what England has become - a kleptocracy, a place where legitimised government theft has become common place and acceptable. A lot of people will be rushing to honestly fill in their online tax returns before the Jan 31 deadline. Makes you wonder why they bother.

Unfortunately that's about right. Whenever I broached the issue with American friends and work colleagues they expressed concern and sympathy for the victims but the attitude seemed to be one of well that's the price you have to pay to protect their precious second amendment rights. This latest...

Worst - following the money and taking a job in London. Realised on the first day it was a big mistake - the boss, the commute from Hove and the job itself. I think I may also have allowed myself to be pressured by the agency people and also being on the rebound from being made redundant and...

That phrase "twisted the needle in my arm and snapped it" really made me wince, can't imagine how painful that was. On a previous hospital visit I needed an MRI and during the procedure they needed to inject a muscle relaxant. So they used a cannula which has to stay in your arm for the whole...

The nurse was telling me a few of their patients have a heightened fear of needles but fortunately they are always able to find the vein first time with a bit of extra prep

I had to get some bloodwork done today and it took 5 attempts to find a vein to draw blood. I do normally have to have about 2 tries and on my left arm as right one always seems to be a problem. It wasn't the nurses fault - 3 tried (apparently after 2 attempts another nurse is called to try)...

My feelings as well. But I support the Mets so used to backing underdogs !

Sets us up nicely for an East Coast derby with the Eagles, it's going to be tough but on a roll now

Always count myself lucky that I was born and bred in Shoreham living there for 30 years. Lived just off of Kingston Lane so also handy for Southwick, another great place. The geographic location is its biggest asset, right on the sea and the beautiful rolling Sussex downs behind it with easy...

Yes, it seems to me that Kate turns up, smiles does exactly what she is told to do and says what the people pulling the strings want her to say - the perfect Royal. Meghan was never going to play that game.

Not seen it mentioned yet, "Absolute Power" which also had another two of my favourite actors Gene Hackman and Laura Linney. Shows how being President can easily corrupt the person.
