Gary's loss, if permanent, is a shame. Whatever your political affections, you can choose to listen to or ignore his postings. Where now are we to hear knowledgeable insights over planning matters, etc? The only prospect of avoiding an overwhelming Selfsh Party landslide is to look at any left-of-centre offerings. It is only a pity the Liberal Dems blew it by siding with Dave for a little ...
Ten out of ten in the geography test. We in Britain are of course in Europe. And an awful lot of us want to stay here despite the many negatives. This is getting tedious. Over and out - in every sense!
Burneside: I read only the Daily Mail and the Telegraph, every day, cover to cover (bar the sport). I've had a good enough education to look past the propoganda they both peddle, and balance it with my own life experience, and broadcaster's information from as wide a variety of sources as I can access (even Murdoch's Sky News!). I've traveled much of our world (1st and 3rd) to broaden my ...
The two sides in this disagreement are begining to sound as 'flexible' as the folk of Northern Ireland. Democracy nearly arrived there, eventually, and seems to be ebbing again like the tide. But along the way we all suffered a huge amount of ear-bashing and bloodletting from the bigots of both sides . {If we eventually declare full 'independence' from our near neighbours, Ulster will have a ...
I have continual problems getting a signal from the EE network. I seem to be in the shadow of the hill on the Bovis estate where I live (just sometimes I can receive a very weak signal from upstairs, but not at all reliably). How do others fare with the different networks locally? I'm reluctant, though, to ditch EE as it is a powerful signal at other locations where I need it.
Paul and Burnside ; Yes, democracy in practice. But after many decades of bitter bellyaching I thought the 'Leavers' might have scored a real, significant percentage they could be proud of. Under 4% is ample to mandate our representatives, but a pretty close call after all their efforts. Who, then, am I to judge? - by marriage I ended up with a French mother-in-law!
Among those who actually voted, 52% said leave, 48% said stay. Democracy - yes. 'Massive' majority - hardly? Triumphalism by the Tory press - 100% Mention of the (over 16 million) losers - zilche
Can anyone compose a sign banning lycra-clad (but maybe quite intelligent) urban terrorists but allowing the slower, amiable, considerate pedal-pushers? How on earth could one be enforced? And is the act all that different to riding along a canal towpath? There were railings on the shore side of the repaired concrete wall last year. Now they're gone. Although their remains are visible flush ...
Elsewhere the kiosks have been extensively used to arrange drug transactions/drop-offs without a mobile number being revealed (for tracing by the police). Seems our locality hasn't raised that demand, as Lynne's usage stats show.
Is it just the Masonics Membership maintaining their secrecy?
