    Hillsborough fans unlawfully killed

    We are still waiting to see whether there will be any charges brought against police chiefs, FA and others. It looks like a very strong case for the police perverting the course of justice. At the very least pensions could be withdrawn, I would guess? Prison seems a possibility for those who...

    Royal Family

    The OP misses the point. The current hoohah is not about the family, of which most of us care very little. It is about the monarch, who even her critics acknowledge has been an admirable Head of state for 64 years. She is no better than any of us, she is not meant to be. She is a figurehead, a...

    Prince has died

    It was a joke, but, as it happens, Prince passed me by and I would be pushed to name any song bar Purple Rain. RIP He was a hero and inspiration to many.

    RIP Victoria Wood

    My absolute favourite. I saw her live twice. Laughed so much it was painful. RIP a true legend. She was a trailblazer.

    John Terry

    Yes. I think John Terry is actually a proper old fashioned geezer. Lots of faults but also good hearted. A fine gesture from him.

    Cold calling

    Try flirting with them. Ask how they are, you sound nice, have you got a girlfriend, boyfriend etc. Are you free tomorrow night... I have never done this myself because I don't have the patience but give it a try and report back

    Oasis Songs Top A Radio Poll

    Music died around the time the elder people in that age bracket, late 20s to early 40s, reached puberty, around 1989. :guitar2::guitar2: TBF most things were past their best by then, cinema, literature, art, journalism. It's all generic copying with little originality or creativity now. :whistle::D

    Ever Feel You've Had Enough?

    Malaka, you're not a teacher are you? Many are close to the edge. I'm sure it's true in other walks of life of course. Everyone seems to have it bad in Tory Britain.

    A Spender or Thrifty ?

    I am neither a spender nor thrifty. I have always earned more than I spend because I don't want most of the crap that is on sale. If I want it I find myself in the queue to pay and only then look at the price. If I don't want it it could be a fantastic bargain but I'm still not buying. Yet I...

    Housing in the UK

    I still have the letter from the building society announcing the mortgage interest rate of 15%, from 1990, I think. A scary thought.

    Adam Johnson

    A 15 year old cannot give consent to sexual activity. She is a child. In the eyes of the law she is an innocent victim...whatever she did he was the responsible adult and is guilty of grooming, kissing and one other sexual act, described as digital penetration in the papers. It also says she...

    Adam Johnson

    I also know a chap who was sentenced to 12 months for an offence involving only webcam contact with an underage girl. He persuaded her to undress on camera I think but he was 19 and she was 15. AJ will get at least 2 years, probably 4 or 5.

    Adam Johnson

    His partner could go to court to prevent him having access to their child and would be able to make a decent case as he is a convicted sex offender. I know someone who did this but didn't win only because the charges against her ex were dropped. However, her ex still has restricted access to...
