    39 dead in lorry in Essex

    So in my view, the public disclosure of this driver's face and personal details all over the mainstream media is utterly abhorrent! The evidence seems to suggest that the tractor unit he was driving entered the UK at Holyhead off a ferry from Dublin on Saturday. He has probably done a load of...

    The 'not so obvious' hot babes thread!

    There's something about Katya Adler that reminds me of a ventriloquist's dummy - i think it's the rosy cheeks and the mouth that appears over-populated with teeth. No offence intended - she just looks a bit odd.

    Some good news

    Just to be clear, there were never any plans submitted to WDC for the Old Leamingtonians site.

    Some good news

    That is a good question - but they need to reword the figure announced as "tickets sold for today's match ..." rather than "today's attendance"

    Some good news

    In this day and age, that thing should be a piece of piss! The way they used to do it was to count all the ticket stubs collected by the turnstile operators (which is why it always took until midway through the second half to add it up. And before THAT (when everyone paid on the gate), they...

    Some good news

    It is probably the same case as our attendance figures were at the Ricoh, with any ticket sold regarded as a bum on a seat (even if ST holders weren't there). It always irritates me that they don't know how many people are actually in the stadium! For comparison, and i know it's a bit different...

    Doreen Lawrence

    Torch, i thought you were suggesting that 92 had posted that pic because he (or someone else) thought they were lazing around instead of rescuing people of whatever colour from Grenfell, when he was showing the ethnic mix of brave firefighters who were clearly on down-time. Glad to read that you...

    Doreen Lawrence

    Can you imagine the outcry if these comments were aimed at the BAME community? "Doreen Lawrence, whose 18-year-old son was murdered by a gang of racists in south-east London in 1993, said she has "no doubt" the response to the inferno that killed 72 people was motivated by racism. "Had that...

    Things that annoy you

    A person at our workplace got out of the Uber, went to the rear passenger door to get their bag out, and the c**t drover over her foot. Twice! We've reported him to Wolves CC and Uber plc.

    Parking Fine

    In general, new housing estates have a greater requirement for cycle storage spaces than car parking, but most will insist on two spaces off the road for a new house. However, land and house prices are such that the best way to get bang for your buck if you are a builder is to make the roads...

    Parking Fine

    Take a look at this link Q387: Can I park on the pavement? If the OP can demonstrate he wasn't creating an obstruction, and there is no TRO in force (doubtful unless you live withing two miles of the Ricoh), you should appeal.

    Much! Thanks. But seriously, what DID we say before? Was it just "story"???

    Things that annoy you

    People who use the term "back story" - where the hell has this term come from, all of a sudden? It wasn't in use until about a year ago, so why use it at all?

    Terror attack in Manchester?

    I think the key word is "and" at the end of the first bullet point. That is to say, while i agree about the "reaching wider spectrum, etc", it must also include political motivation. As i said earlier, I really do take your point about the guy terrorising people, but for it to be a "terrorist...

    Terror attack in Manchester?

    Undoubtedly, and i take your point, but that is NOT the definition of "terrorism" (according to the Terrorism Act 2000, which should be the proper definition). That requires that the use or threat is made for the purpose of advancing a political, religious, racist or ideological cause. Not just...
