    Anyone Here Been To Norway?

    I went there in the late 80s as part of a Nordic version of Inter-Rail, and it was fantastic. The railway only goes as far north as Narvik, so we hired a car and drove the rest of the way to the NordKapp (most northerly point of mainland Europe) - a true wonder of the natural world. Amazing to...

    Things that annoy you

    I got tourist e-visas for Kenya and Tanzania a couple of months ago and it was simplicity personified - and only $50 a shout. I would assume a work visa is similarly simple. India, on the other hand, is a fucking shambles!

    so who is the mega rich bbc presenter

    "Pointless" (especially the celebrity version) is now primetime - how the FUCK did we end up here? Maybe it's Alexander Armstrong or the peculiar but charming Richard Osman? Struggling to think of a catchphrase though

    so who is the mega rich bbc presenter

    Or Jason Manford - he has previous in the mistress department, IIRC ... but his catchphrase escapes me!! I can't get past Roy Walker though - "it's good but it's not right" across a GG bust would seem eminently appropriate!

    so who is the mega rich bbc presenter

    It's not exactly a helpful article is it? Doesn't mention any timeframe. But it won't be Brucie since he died in 2017, and the NDA would die with him (as would any chance of him paying maintenance or the daughter meeting him (unless beyond the grave, of course!!)

    Things that annoy you

    The fact that the term "athlete", formerly defined as " a person who takes part in competitive track and field events (athletics)", has been hijacked to refer to any sportsperson. Rugby players, skiers, swimmers, et al are NOT fucking athletes - they are rugby players, skiers and swimmers...

    Americans (usually) who refer to Lego as "Legos/Legoes". It's a fucking obligate singular you ignorant cunts!

    The 'not so obvious' hot babes thread!

    Have no idea what that even is!! Is it the opposite of tittle?

    The 'not so obvious' hot babes thread!

    Is it disrespectful to compliment a woman (or man, for that matter) on how attractive you think they are? In general, i don't think this thread has been remotely as voyeuristic as, say, Page 3. Maxy on this series of Bake Off is absolutely beautiful. Is it disrespectful to say that? I suspect i...

    Mortgage Question

    Don't do that Shmmeee - your rent will still go up if the landlord's mortgage increases (and even if it doesn't), and you will no assets to show for shelling out the dosh. Always mortgage if you can

    Mortgage Question

    i think it is because the bank/BS has borrowed that money from someone else at something above the BoE base rate. If the rate goes up, they need to pass those increases on to you, as they have to pay it back too. That is why a fixed-rate mortgage is always sold at a higher rate the longer it...

    Things that annoy you

    People clapping the Queen's funeral cortege. Or any funeral cortege. It has NO place! If you are showing up as a sign of respect, then show some respect: Put your fucking camera down, bow your head and shut the FUCK up!

    My Mum's were the same, Charlie. My sister noticed them during the meeting with the PM. Clearly "a sign"

    Has London Bridge fallen ?

    Yesterday was D0. D+10 is Sunday 18th, so my understanding is that the funeral will be on Monday 19th (when i actually AM on holiday in two countries of the Commonwealth, and will be sad to miss it). Not much appears to be running in line with Operation London Bridge plans currently. Today...
