    Fuel prices

    Same as the utility companies. Everyone was welcoming the impending demise of Thames Water last week, but the parent company is mostly owned by pension funds (20% by the Universities Superannuation Scheme, the largest pension fund in the UK), so many will suffer in the long run if it is simply...

    Fuel prices

    I remember a time not so long ago when the supermarkets were being criticised by the CMA for selling fuel at next-to-no margin whatsoever, and forcing independents out of business. They really can't win, can they?

    If he was to identify as a woman (82.34 years average), does that give him an extra year?? :ROFLMAO:

    Glastonbury 2023

    Have you seen the thread "You know you're getting old when ..."?? But i am absolutely with you. I also can't fathom how the Beeb can just spending the licence fee on promoting a commercial enterprise and sending a reported THOUSAND of its staff to cover it!!

    Things that annoy you

    Yes, but .... The widely-held view among people who know about these things, and who do not have an allegiance to the government or the BoE, is that the current global inflation figures (ours being the worst in the G20) are NOT demand-driven (which could be controlled by restricting people's...

    Nottingham Serious Incident

    Don't forget, though, that the UK definition of terrorism "simply" includes the act being motivated by the advancement of a political, religious, racial or ideological cause, not that it is carried out by a group or with any particular target or number in mind.

    Things that annoy you

    I think that is the problem. It is all out of order. But why do some tweets from, for example, CCFC or my sister, turn up in "For you" but some in "Following"? I wish they had just left it alone - did they ASK any Twitter users whether this change was wanted? I doubt it!

    Nottingham Serious Incident

    Maybe he was shit terrorist as well as a shit human being?? Maybe his watch was set to Mecca time??? But i think it will always be the case that CTU will get involved with any multiple murder, especially using terrorist tactics like vehicles.

    Things that annoy you

    I assume AI is behind the changes to Twitter, which i find is now borderline unusable. I thought that tweets from anyone i follow would turn up under the "Following" tab - but oh, no - there is loads of stuff in the "For you" tab which is posted from them mashed up with all the vitriol and ads...

    Nottingham Serious Incident

    As with any case such as this in recent years, the police response will always include counter-terrorism until they have established the full facts. They also say in their press conferences that they urge people not to speculate on social media about the alleged perpetrator or their motivations...

    Didn't know McCullum's nickname is Baz - that might have helped!!! The Beeb are always promoting to the skies anything they have any broadcast rights to, aren't they?

    The very term "bazball" gets on my tits. Where did it come from??? And the Beeb saying that this is "the most eagerly anticipated Ashes series in a generation" - horseshit!

    Things that annoy you

    Why does everyone now use the term "double digits" when it has always been "double figures" - f*cking Americanisms!
