Facebook are coming under a lot of flack for allowing these stupid threads which thousands of people seem to answer like 'What was your first car / school / girlfriend's name etc', because these are very often one of the security questions companies ask when you forget your password. I cannot...

Haven't some of the big suppliers already warned that there will be shortages of certain things at Christmas. This almost seems like an open declaration that they will be hiking up the prices of these items due to basic supply and demand. Greedy buggers

A very good friend of mine was one of the lucky ones who walked out of the South Tower before the second plane hit. I cannot even begin to imagine what that must have been like, but I do know it had a profound effect on his life afterwards. He was determined to live it as fully as possible...

Trump and religion. A lot of the anti-vaxxers are evangelical Christians who believe the lord will protect them without the need for a jab. They remind me of the snake handlers who deliberately handle venomous snakes with the same belief.

This. It would never have been an easy withdrawal given all the circumstances, but with some forethought they could have come up with a measured withdrawal strategy surely. It seems even some of Biden's generals and advisers cautioned against this current plan, but he chose to ignore this as...

I had hoped that Bernie Sanders would have been the Democratic nomination, but he was one of those wicked Socialists that America isn't quite ready for (and at 79 he's also a year older than Biden)

Well, it would be America's first woman President :)

Biden is now getting a lot of flack from the families and friends of the marines who were killed. I backed Biden for the Presidency but he increasingly looks like a bumbling old man out of touch with reality. The lack of leadership and level of incompetence from the 'world's greatest military'...

The fact that this has happened a fortnight before the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks will not be lost on a lot of Americans

The guy doing the Pentagon briefing just had to get the bit in about the American military being the best in the world - at this point I don't really think anybody cares about that

I've seen the poverty first hand and it is pretty shocking, not just in New York but in many rural areas as well. The comparison between the haves in Manhattan and the have nots in Harlem and the Bronx is stark. As you say medical cover is linked to employment and ends when the employment ends...

Hard to believe one of the greatest singer songwriters ever died over a decade ago. His posthumous album 'Rest in Blue' will be his 11th studio album and will be released a week tomorrow. The 14-track project has been completed by his daughter Martha, and features artwork from his friend and...

Probably already mentioned, but "I'm super excited" is incredibly annoying.

Also Guardian Angels, the Rapture and other sundry religious bollox. Funny old country

Rookie quarter back watch - Zach Wilson, Trevor Lawrence, Mac Jones, Justin Fields and Trey Lance https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/aug/25/rookie-quarterback-watch-trevor-lawrence-struggles-as-zach-wilson-shines

Very true, and has been for many years now

I believe a class action lawsuit was taken out in the States against Stub Hub, not over inflated prices but for not refunding tickets for events cancelled by COVID. The US edition of the Guardian also recently had an article about possible fines against Stub Hub to stop touts ripping off...

The whole ticketing business has become a scam with the likes of Ticketmaster having a complete monopoly on events and adding all their extortionate on charges, and then the likes of Stub Hub allowing buyers to be ripped off a second time But, as other posters have said, all the while a...
