End of Thatcher? We started using Celsius instead of Fahrenheit??

Was it the last time Jimmy Savile presented TOTP??

Well quite - the HSE don't break the figures they release down any further into the sectors

HSE released the workplace fatality data for 21/22 just last week. Agriculture, forestry and fishing has BY FAR the highest rate of fatalities (per 100,000 employees), at 21 TIMES the all-industry rate, despite being down quite a bit on last year's figures.

"Enquiries have established that the boy had suffered his critical injuries following a collision with a tractor. GMP said the tractor driver, understood to know the boy, is helping them with inquiries". Health & Safety Executive are investigating. Not going to guess at who the driver might...

On a par with the 3yo lad in Bury who got run over by a tractor in his own family's farmyard. Utterly preventable and desperately sad.

all those women in swimwear???

or when interviewees give their answer then when they get to the end, and it sounds like they might have more to say, and they say "soooo ... yeah" and stop!

Can i add "living my best life"? (seemingly most often made in the context of some announcement about their gender and/or sexuality - neither of which i give a fuck about!) :sick:

I heard the "India get battered ..." chant going on for ages yesterday evening, and i wondered what the world was coming to! Footy types now going to the Test for a fun day out and not knowing how to behave. As for the accusations of racism, that just makes my blood boil! Anyway, India *don't*...

Is it another fuckin TikTok "craze" along the lines of the Mega Chippy??? I struggle to comprehend the mindset of people today - see my previous post on "influencers"

Of course - i'm fortunate that i can. But @Blind-Faith 's original post seemed to suggest his boss could too

No - DON'T ring in "to check first" - your workplace should still have a policy in place that you stay at home (and work from home if you are well enough) if you are positive or have any symptoms. Wear face coverings in densely-populated or poorly ventilated rooms (or reschedule meetings that...

Sounds like a line from an old Eddie Izzard routine, IIRC - "A bit ... well, 'French'!"

Thanks ADM

Yeah Raducanu seems to have lost her way rather after her meteoric impact at the US Open. Too much time spent chasing lucrative sponsorship/modelling contracts and not enough time hardening herself up to face the challenges of professional sport. Having to retire from a match because you have...

Slightly surprised there is nothing on the forum regarding tennis, given the discussions around what you might regard as more "minority sports". So i will kick off with Katie Boulter just beating last year's Wimbledon runner-up to get to round three of a grand slam tournament for the first time...

All-ticket and only 100 left yesterday How come this is a transfer rumour AND a match thread, btw?

Hate to tell you this, ADM, but that was 50 odd years ago! I built the Airfix model of "Eagle" (Apollo 11 lunar module) and it was my pride and joy, growing up during the space race. I rediscovered it just the other day when clearing out my late mum's house. Glue had deteriorated so i picked it...

Did it involve 10 grand to spend on a hooker for a night? Or 5 years in Hillfields!
