Boys from the Blackstuff

I was in Asda Hollingbury recently and I have to confess to being in a bit of a bad mood and I was moaning to Mrs Shingle about the general yobbery out in the car park and inside the store. When we came out of the checkout area there were 2 or 3 trolleys full up and overflowing with tinned...

Friday is the day that I have my youngest Grandson, he's 3 and I suppose I make his day because he gets away with blue murder, i've never said no to him, he eats what he wants, goes to bed when he wants, and always arrives with a smile on his face. I absolutely adore him.

I'll be kind with this one TB, you shouldn't be posting stuff like this, because you want it to be true. No news agency BBC/Sky etc has backed it up. Did you not see the source and because of shit like this the Israelis have had to post images of this particular atrocity

Unfortunately Hamas would still be in place and untouched.

I agree with much of what you say but it hasn't answered to the question posed. Are you saying 'would have done nothing', as we have the 4/5th biggest army in the world etc etc

I posed a difficult question earlier that no one has tried to answer. I know it's difficult, but has anyone got a suggestion that doesn't begin with 'I know what i wouldn't have done' If you were the Israeli government how would you have responded on Sunday morning when the full horror of the...

Three years after starting this thread I can happily report that my 2nd hand was operated on earlier this week. The other hand was done in July. The sheer relief at getting a full nights sleep is indescribable. After first posting I put up with the symptoms for another two years, stupid I know...

You don't need 'media narratives' to interpret for you what has happened, no one on here likes to see the suffering of a population, but to say that the F16 pilots who give prior warnings, and try and avoid civilian casualties and that also try and hit Hamas positions based on intelligence are...

Hamas are never going to give up the hostages under the threat of keeping the up the blockade. In fact, this ultimatum by Israel has played right into their hands. The desire by Hamas is to involve third parties into this conflict and Israeli air strikes on Gaza was never going to do it...

Do you really see it as that simple?

I like to think that I have a balanced view of the situation and I think he quoted many well established facts, not opinions of his. I have been to Israel many times in the 90's as a press photographer during the intifadas and have seen first hand the situation, I do have sympathy for the...

You talk of prejudices GB, but the levels of obfuscation from some NSCers regarding @steve Fosters long take on the situation (in which most of it was spot on by the way) was very depressing, its almost as if some people couldn't believe that Israel could ever be a victim in any situation

The old city of Jerusalem will be a major flashpoint tomorrow should the Israelis let Friday prayers go ahead at the Al Aqsa. I've seen it in the past a few times when the situation was nowhere near as volatile as it is now.

On the subject of old fashioned/boiled sweets....Mrs Shingle still has sherbert lemons on a weekly basis

Fascinating thread. Fruit Salads all the way.

On the fence on this one, but will lean towards a finger of fudge, as curly wurlies have decreased so much in size from their original size.

Just a quick reminder of the events of WW2. Six million jews murdered by the nazis, they were transported to gas chambers from all over Europe, do you really think that they would have taken up the offer of going back to a European country where the population had only recently served them up to...

ffs. SUNFLOWER OIL (drained). Spring water, utterly tasteless
