    [Finance] BOE: The UK is like a coiled spring.

    I'm going to hazard a wild guess here. The rich will get richer, the poor will get poorer.

    I've got a pair of their hobnailed ones. Excellent boots.

    [Finance] I'm never going to buy my own house am I?

    You may but you'll only be contributing to a system that will make it absolutely impossible for your kids (not that I'd criticise or blame you). I'm only 18 years older than you but they've been runaway years of unfettered neo-liberal capitalism and rentier property owning and it's been a...

    [Food] Child food hampers

    I've been running a food bank over the course of the Covid year and it has been an eye opening experience. I can safely say that your post is unmitigated rubbish, that you speak with zero experience of the subject, are susceptible to propaganda and are a fatuos chump.

    [Technology] Telecoms/text/WhatsApp help required

    Hi hive mind, I've been running the logistics for a food bank set up during these strange times. My communication with the customers is by phone, text (by far the majority) and WhattsApp. I've been using my personal phone (although I'd be happy to move over to another number) and routing...

    [Drinking] Alcoholic/like a beer or two too much?

    There may be some decent CGLs but I've not come across one. Our local one's pathway to rehab looks like it was designed with the specific intent of keeping people out of rehab. The throughput of clients is all anyone appears to care about to the extent that I believe they now have only one...

    [Drinking] Alcoholic/like a beer or two too much?

    For chronic alcoholism (and I speak as someone who nearly died from it)I've never found anything that works other than AA. You don't have to like it or agree with it you just have to do it. The best CGL (a less than wonderful organisation IMHO) will have to offer is - go to AA. There aren't...

    [Politics] If there was a general election tomorrow

    None so blind as cannot see. He dealt the Brexit hand himself, from the bottom of the pack and you feel sorry for him.

    [Drinking] Alcoholic/like a beer or two too much?

    I've been clean and sober in CA and AA for 21 continuous years, 12 step programme works perfectly for me and I'm a dyed in the wool, paid up, card carrying atheist. Never had a problem reconciling the two.

    I don't accept the age defence. I'm 60. Language changes and moves on. Move with it. Get with the times daddio.

    [Film] Johnny Depp Career Over?

    Doesn't seem to have done POTUS much harm. I'd say nothing says we don't take assaulting women that seriously like making a serial abuser president of the most powerful country in the world.
