Not sure that if something's against your very being is an argument - after all plenty of unpleasant views are deeply held. Agree it's not having to comply with another's point of view that the court upheld. I once refused to put up a circus poster on my events billboard because of animal...

These kinds of cases can throw up some interesting questions. Imagine a black person ordering a cake with 'equal rights for blacks' and the owner refusing because he didn't believe in equal rights for blacks. Obviously this shows him to be racist but I believe this isn't illegal in itself unless...

Presumably these bakers would have endorsed 'adulterers should be put to death' on their cakes as their morality seems guided by this Bronze Age nonsense. In this case I do actually agree with this verdict and I don't believe it reduces anyone's personal rights but probably shows the bakers to...

Microsoft developers changing stuff to justify their existence. I don't want all this fluff and crap. I've lost functionality on my email, documents and gained clutter. Just leave it alone.

It's a shame they don't throw open Dr Who to all script writers rather than stick to commissioning from established writers. There must be some real talent out there. Ahem, in fact, I have one myself wot I wrote.........

Yup. Got to be some real jeopardy and frights. Sometimes it gets a bit American with feisty fearless assistants completely unfazed by the alien encounters. Kids love to see fear ( just watch Dr Who at the Proms to see the look of terror on the kids' faces when the Daleks or those vamp women make...

Out here in rural Norfolk where we don't see any folk from ethnic minorities and consequently most of the locals are often throwbacks to the seventies, a mate of mine told me he couldn't watch Dr Who as it had got too tick box PC. He said he wouldn't be surprised if they had a Muslim, a black...

Love sci-fi (although not Star Wars) and always retain an affection for Dr Who from being scared stiff as a kid and being introduced to imaginative ideas. Didn't like a lot of the Capaldi stuff as the writers seemed to be up themselves with smug convoluted plots and had lost the knack of...

It makes you despair for America. Trump got elected even though confessing to sexually assaulting women by using his fame and power. This judge is of the same ilk it seems to me.

Hmm, 'I'm sorry I raped you', doesn't quite cut it for me if he did apologise. Imagine if the whole thing is proved, will his reputation be trashed and career over? This would be an incredible fall from grace and Juve will see their one hundred million purchase as an absolute disaster! Forever...

Looking a bit serious for the crafty winker. This payoff to the girl in question will be difficult to explain if true. He seems quietly confident though even after being dropped by Portugal.

Slightly off topic but still makes me cringe and laugh when I think back. I used to 'front of house' in a restaurant and got chatting to a bloke who came in for morning coffee, who like me, was learning Spanish. He wasn't a frequent customer but whenever he came in I would try and converse in...

Reference codes: these are getting ridiculous. I had a 19 digit fault reference code the other week from BT which was a mixture of numbers and letters. I reckon this combination could probably account for all the atoms in the universe! I know BT have a lot of faults to reference but this is insane.

It's the warble that I think makes Fergal Sharkey and Belinda Carlisle have such great voices.

The wearing of hard hats in anywhere remotely industrial especially TV news presenters. Saw one in a field with a gas terminal hundreds of metres away but still wore a hard hat.

You're absolutely right schmmeee, I haven't heard any good rap. Listened to the suggestions on this thread and I still haven't heard any good rap.

It's the ones that home in and punch you that you need to swat.

Always prepared to be educated so will give it a listen.

Yes but pop round to the Lizard and you can say that you have been to the most westerly and southerly points of mainland Britain.

We all know BJ is a buffoon albeit probably a calculating buffoon. But we must not let mockery of religion be conflated with racism. Religion hates being undermined by satire and mockery and it's one of the few weapons we have left as rationalists. Tony Blair's promotion of faith schools...
