I will admit to always being a Lib Dem voter in the past.

Not any more.

On the ‘best of a bad bunch’ basis I’ll be voting Labour in May.

where have all the characters in politics gone? The ones that made it interesting?

Set me thinking of these interesting characters…….
As well as Enoch Powell and Tony Benn already mentioned…..

So 1007 large wind turbines – realising these are approx 90 metre diameter turbines – thats a hell of a lot of space – where do you suggest putting them ???

8 years on, the question can now be answered. Miles out to sea off the coast of Suffolk. The Greater Gabbard offshore windfarm has a capacity to generate half as much electricity as…[Read more]

After a gap of nearly 8 years, here’s a reply to this thread…..

To have the power to do absolutely anything and everything I want

Racists tend to believe that other races are inferior to their own.

Fascists tend to believe that other nations are inferior to their own.

Not a huge amount of difference there, then!

True Fascists do not believe in going against the will of the people;

…because true fascists tell the people what their will must be!

….Something really needs to change. Where to start though and is it to late?

If it had been possible for ordinary people to change society for the better, we’d have done it years ago. Increasingly, the best cards are held by the rich and powerful in Britain, and the trend of growing inequality is likely to continue as long as life for ordinary…[Read more]

Bored so thought id ask people if you had to sleep with 3 people of the same sex celebrity wise who would it be ???

I’m a straight man, so if I had to sleep with 3 people of the same sex they’d all be female!* they’d all be slim and about 5ft 6in, they’d all have long dark hair and olive complexion and they’d all have big brown eyes and they’d…[Read more]

I think I missed that. It was over 7 years ago so I can’t be sure, but I think I did.

Perhaps it’s the shelves that are getting bigger.

Funny, I don’t remember posting that, and I don’t really collect toothbrushes. But if I did, I would collect new toothbrushes still in their packaging, as they would be more likely to increase in value that way :lol:

no one wants to see the small business go under

I always shop at supermarkets. In my experience smaller businesses offer an inferior choice at higher prices. I don’t care about the ‘high street’ and what happens to it, I care about convenience, quality and value for money. And that is what most people care about, which is why the supermarkets…[Read more]

An exception to this trend is cars. For a long time now they have been getting bigger.
For example, it’s often quoted that the latest VW Polo is bigger than the original Golf, which is the next model up in the VW range.

No comment. ](*,)

Not so sure about that. Perhaps we need an update and follow-up. :lol: :lol:

I’m quite hungry now but I’m about to cook a curry so I won’t be hungry for long.

I’ve noticed this. What’s even worse is when a product – for example a biscuit bar in a wrapper – becomes smaller but the wrapper stays the same size.

I remember when Milky Way bars were the size of current Mars Bars, while Mars Bars themselves were the size of ‘king size’ Mars Bars.

Having said this, there’s lots of things on offer or 2 for 1…[Read more]

I have no interest in football whatsoever. But I like necroposting :lol: :lol:

I agree. As a council tax payer I don’t see why the council expects me to sort my rubbish into different bins. If they want to recycle waste – fine – but then they should sort it after collecting.

I have stopped ‘recycling’ food waste in a separate bin because it always went mouldy and the council recycling people didn’t empty it out properly…[Read more]
