    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    More "adverse atmospheric conditions"? How long can they spin that it isn't a cyber attack? Just because they can't detect where it came from doesn't mean it hasn't happened!

    F*ck me - who'd ever have thought that Osborne turns out to be some kind of soothsayer!!

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Absolutely agree that this is what we should have retained. Customs union, freedom of movement, but no jurisdiction by ECJ.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I think we should have been given a referendum on whether we wanted to agree to the Maastricht Treaty, which is what paved the way for a Federal Europe, and we were not given a say by the Major government. It was only Fatty Lawson's sage advice that joining the ERM would be a disaster for the UK...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    We've traditionally had much higher standards of animal welfare, food processing and production standards, and border controls because we are an island with a huge dependency on maintenance of our agricultural economy (all of which feed into "keeping the bugs out"). They have taken those...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I have to say i was very undecided about which way to vote on Brexit, and i was not against freedom of movement for economically active people who allow our economy to grow (e.g. people from Eastern Europe who work hard, even for below minimum wage, in sectors where Brits are too lazy to, such...

    Things that annoy you

    Is that Heinz product an attempt to mimic the Scottish "Sauce" they put on their chips (especially in Edinburgh, i think)? Kind of a blend of vinegar and brown sauce. Revolting!

    FA Cup 2024/25

    Even if you disagreed with the handball decision, you confront the officials about that decision, not get in the player's face

    FA Cup 2024/25

    Yep pleased to see a less fashionable club win their first trophy. Kind of takes me back to 87 (though we played the opposition off the park, unlike Palace). The Ultras thing is a bit lame, but they made a lot of noise all the way through. Probably would have been silent if they were getting...

    Things that annoy you

    The main issue is the debacle that is "social care". There are too few places in care homes or nursing homes, so people who don't need to be in hospital but can't live safely at home are bed blocking. Once they have been shifted, it then takes 15 hospital bed managers to decide if there is...

    Call 111. They'll tell you to take 2 paracetamol and go to your GP, or call an ambulance if you think it's an emergency We are very lucky with our GP practice. My wife rang them at 8 (as required) recently. Was answered in a few minutes. Was told she would be on the triage list. Doctor rang...

    League One 24/25

    Good win for Charlton last night to get to Wembley. Shame the wanker Nathan Jones is their manager, cos i quite like the Addicks - proper club, and they looked powerful last night. Super Matty Godden got the winner. Their guy Lloyd Jones has been taking heading lessons from Haji Wright.

    All-purpose tennis thread

    Edited for you. Is it coincidence that Djokovic's form has fallen off a cliff since he had Andy Murray on his coaching team?

    Wright and Simms

    I rewatched the semi highlights last week and had forgotten what a complete shin his goal was! Almost identical to his effort against Boro in the last game at home, except that time it went the wrong side of the post! The other goals against Man U were O-Hare's MASSIVE deflection which Onana...

    Something like that. Not exactly a tear-jerker like Terry Wogan's or Johnnie Walker's. It didn't help that he immediately said "And now the phone-in with Lorna Bailey", which spoilt the moment and had me reaching for the off switch!
