    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?

    Things that annoy you

    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!

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

    5Live had his son's speech at the vigil on first - but i agree he seems in general to be falling into the "not young and beautiful enough" pigeonhole

    Grace's younger brother James: "I urge you all to cherish every moment you spend with your loved ones". Wisdom beyond his years. Let's do that, yeah?

    Jail for Woman who took abortion pills

    Possibly, but should it have qualified as the common law offence of infanticide???

    Jail for Woman who took abortion pills

    There was a woman from BPAS being interviewed about this on the radio earlier in the week, which i thought was a mistake. BPAS clearly had a MAHOOSIVE conflict of interest in this case - they provided her with advice and the prescription (as i understand it) - but they didn't provide sufficient...

    I had no idea she was that old. Her highlight for me was on the Morecambe & Wise Show. Holy shit just googled it ... 1971 FFS! Where does the time go. Also activist and Labour MP, as well as the acting.
