This is just a very odd advert for Dave. People who’ve never been to the fringe (indeed often never to live comedy) say that the jokes are just not funny and suggest ‘better’ ones themselves and those who are more […]

We’ve lost a DVD from a box set. Obviously it’s replaceable but we’ve wasted a stupid amount of time looking for it. I’ve opened an old dvd player twice to see if it’s inside! If and when we do find it, it’ll be […]

I agree about the need for another one but I’m fairly convinced the only new information available is confirmation of how hard it’ll be to leave. I don’t think there’s any other new information available, most, if […]

I completely agree that the MPs should be fully charged with making the decisions but how do they find out what the ordinary man in the street is thinking? At an election people place their x depending on who they […]

I’m trying not to express a sentiment because I don’t fully understand the pros and cons. If a system strongly linked to party politics is really the only way to sensibly run things then I’m not keen on a […]

I’m not suggesting abolishing or banning, I’m really trying to understand how things might work for better or for worse, if the system broke down naturally. Are the interested people currently trying to hold the […]

It seems to me that the overarching considerations made by the MPs of most parties is to protect their party whereas I think it should be to protect the interest of their constituents.
I’m no politics student so […]

I’ll certainly watch this at some stage especially as I’m a Bruce fan, Luton resident and ( during the 90s) an acquaintance of Sarfraz Manzoor but I was just looking at the Soundtrack album… who is it aimed at? […]

I think that’s true, if so, why can’t everyone be honest about it and have another referendum? Or two or three if that’s what it takes to get a consensus!
I should say that I think there should be more referenda […]

Nobody that had any sort of influence at the time of the referendum has the qualifications to lead us out of this mess. I don’t support any party at all and I don’t really follow much politics but it was obvious […]

I’ve only stayed In a caravan a couple of times, also in the early 80s and the bands I associate it with are Joy Division, The Distractions and The Specials (especially Ghost Town). The playlist above would be […]

I can see that a lot of people would like it all ( and by that I mean the decision making process) to be over but I can’t see that a huge number would see it as progress.

I’m sure the 2019 version is more accurate than anything I’d have access to in 1856! I think even with the inaccuracies, I’d be treated like a god……. hopefully not a witch!

I’m not that fussed, any time in the last 200 years but I’d really like to take a tablet with wikipedia on it and a solar charger!

I think I may have said this on an older similar thread but keep the High Line for a few days in. We walked along it on our first morning the last time we were there and although it was a nice walk with good views […]

One important thing is not to cram so much in that you have to travel everywhere by subway. You need to be walking around to just see New York.
An evening ball game is always a good option.

I guess if they weren’t popular then I wouldn’t hear them as much so wouldn’t get so annoyed so i suppose part of the problem is their popularity but I honestly don’t dislike them cos they’re popular. I don’t give […]

The OP was as a consequence of the changes Dropbox made to it’s free facilities so be warned the Microsoft has form in this arena too. A few years ago they realised they were making too much storage available for […]

…and one more thing I only learned today (because I’m always a bit behind with twitter at the weekend).
A film, Annette, written by Sparks with new music by Sparks, is currently in production. Starring Adam […]

I have no truck at all with the X Factor winners because they exist in a parallel world that doesn’t impinge on my entertainment. Elbow, for a reason that baffles me entirely, get played on 6Music so I’m subjected […]
