But I'm guessing if there was a fuel tanker strike tomorrow people would still be queuing around the block to fill up even at 2 quid a litre. People will go without other necessities before they abandon their car

I've found that sometimes just doing things on the spur of the moment or because the opportunity presents itself can lead to events which are more exciting and memorable than bucket list items Bucket list items, like dream jobs, can sometimes be underwhelming

All the women Woody Allen went out with in Woody Allen movies, all much younger and much more attractive than him

But we're ranked 5th in the world by FIFA so we'll be alright

Don't give up, her duet with Peter Gabriel really knocked it out of the park

She seems to be making an impact on a new audience following 'Running up that hill' being included on Stranger Things soundtrack. Done some amazing stuff IMHO...

One of the victims of the recent subway gun attack in New York has filed a lawsuit against gun manufacturer Glock. Will it work ? It remains to be seen, but following the Sandy Hook school shootings Remington settled a similar case for $73M and there have been similar payouts for people suing...

I think he has become the UK's Trump. He remembers when Trump pulled that stunt of standing in front of the church with a bible to appeal to all the religious nutters in the States so he does the equivalent with imperial units to appeal to all the Little Englanders

I'm not really that surprised, I think the support for the monarchy is exaggerated by the tabloid media. What I do think is the case, as other posters have said, is a massive indifference and most people would not really be affected one way or the other

It always amazes me why the USA still clings to the imperial system, even though pretty much everything you buy has the metric equivalent for weight and size. Being in construction it always annoyed me having to divide everything by 27 to come up with cubic yards of concrete etc. or seeing a...

Most countries try and move forward, this one seems determined to move in the opposite direction. Just as well most TV channels are now 24 hour or he would no doubt be lobbying to play the National Anthem when they shut down
