I've never met anybody in England who thought that holding onto part of Northern Ireland was a good idea, ever.

I fail to see how that is a bad thing?

I missed a whole week so I'm screwed! The reminder came through at 3.00am by which time I was embroiled in a row with an ex-moderator on another forum and slept through most of the following day.

There's nothing 'natural' about it. British Rail employed four times as many managers as the four private companies which preceded it in 1948. It was only ever nationalised for the most cynical of reasons, it was cheaper than paying wartime compensation to the private companies. If you knew...

How about when they send you an email, post the same message on several Facebook accounts and notify you on Messenger, even after you've told them several times that don't don't ever use Messenger? I think there's one in every office?

Look, if Nick says he'll do it, he'll do it! There's no need to keep reminding him every seven weeks. ;)

I can't think what you mean? ;) UK weather forecast: Horror floods as nearly 30 warnings in place - 'Immediate action!'

The easy availability of drugs certainly hasn't reduced the amount of drug crime. Cannabis cafés and shisha lounges are routinely subjected to gun and bomb attacks, I assume by rival drug suppliers.

I'm puzzled by that? I've imported a huge number of items from North America and never been charged if they were valued at less than £18.

You're lucky! Ken Russell told a movie-critic friend of mine (off the record) that he got fed up of all the wrangling over the financing of the film so deliberately stuffed up the ending.

I'm just curious, has anyone here begun Xmas shopping yet?

There'll be a stitch-up between the two sides to make it look like a "Brexit" when there isn't one.

Coventry North West held by just a couple of hundred votes! Coventry North West parliamentary constituency - Election 2019

Am I simply watching the wrong channels or is the TV coverage totally ignoring the west midlands?

Spare a thought for mrs dutchman. She was promised a payout of £31,000 if Corbyn got in, not that she believed it would ever happen.

But the Tories have been underperforming compared to the exit poll predictions so far so it could still go either way.

Swinson forecast to lose her seat!

Coventry North West forecast to go Tory! :o
