    Bursitis

    My partner has it in her knees, it makes the lower outside quarter (if you can imagine that) as you look at them. They swell when she walks too far

    Other Sports....

    I topped watching it when THEY decided who they thought should win it (they being the BBC and deciding who i on the shortlist) Much preferred it when you didn't know who was in the running and you'd get the shortlist at the start of the programme on the night. I know they've engineered it so...

    Rishi Sunak and the Conservative Party.

    And that's what happens when the continually treat the electorate like fools, when they lie with impunity, when they lie to excuse the original lie and then attempt to enact policies that a, never said they would and b have no place in a progressive, modern world

    Pyrotechnics at sports stadium

    Metallica at the Etihad in 2019 I felt the heat from 30 yards away. ALso, back in around 2002/03, Newcastle played Wolves at Molineaux, the firework firer? Fell over and a firework was fired into the crowd, it flashed past Alan Shearer's head and hit a woman, giving her burns. they were then...

    Rishi Sunak and the Conservative Party.

    If he wasn't being racist, why did he mention black? He could have said 'make me hate all women' instead That would of course have made it mysogynistic/ sexist. So, instead he says, make me hate all blacks Which would have made him racist. Best way to avoid that is not to say it in the first...

    Local radio stations

    Obviously I'm biased, but I grew up listening to this station and its presenters: https://metroradio261.blogspot.com/p/memories-of-metro-radio.html Growing up with stars (some local, some national) like Giles Squire, James Whale (yes, him) Charles Harrison's dulcet tones commentating on...

    Rishi Sunak and the Conservative Party.

    New lectern slogan: Stop The Potholes 'The potholes were today subject to a new piece of legislation branding them illegal and all efforts would be concentrated on preventing them from appearing on UK streets. A spokesperson for the Conservative Party said, we know how they are getting here, we...

    BT and EE annual increase of RPI +3.9%

    Correct, Myself, partner, stepson and stepdaughter. Our broadband and Parents broadband, all on BT/EE, all went up 14% last year, that's what finally forced me to go sim only after 24 years of being a contract customer with Orange/ EE and facing a monthly charge over £35 for the first time

    Should school meals be free for everyone?

    My Grandparents were council renters. My parents bought their first house when they married (aged 25 and 19) Their first car 4 years later. I'm now 51 and STILL waiting to get onto the housing ladder, paying an ever increasing amount of rent monthly to keep a roof over my head, the only way I...

    I'd prefer the allowance to reduce, in order for indirect taxes (ie VAT) to be reduced

    Rishi Sunak and the Conservative Party.

    Of course he should, make the apology, story ends there and then, but no, they double down on it. As with other things they've been caught lying with, they make up another lie and when that is exposed, another lie that is eventually uncovered replaces that. If only in both situations, they just...

    Should school meals be free for everyone?

    The two Secondary schools I went to back in the dim and distant 80's had the same policy. 1st one (I attended until Easter of year 2) Black blazer Grey or white shirt Reversible PE top (Maroon one side and maroon with a central sky blue hoop on the other, which also doubled as the sports team...

    Rishi Sunak and the Conservative Party.

    This Square One the Tories keep going on about Labour taking us back to is a million times better than the current situation. Welcome to our monthly struggle Mr Freeman Apologies for coming into this so late, your quotes are from page 222 @najaB & @SteveM70

    Should school meals be free for everyone?

    I realise from further postings from yourself that you were likely being sarcastic, but for all that would actually use this as a stick to beat children with indirectly, how does £14.99 a month or so pay for a month's worth of school meals?

    Conscription.

    I definitely subscribe to the theory that they let them do it so they had the perfect excuse to begin the massacre they continue to perpetuate nearly 4 months later

    Edinburgh- Manchester Piccadilly 1st December 2023

    Hi all, I've just been made aware that I may have a claim for delay repay for the above journey. We were scheduled to leave Waverley at 12:12 on a direct TPE train to Piccadilly. The train was cancelled. We were however, allowed to travel on alternative TOC's to get to our destination. We...

    Conscription.

    This. And usually by the time it does arrive, it's outdated technology

    Rishi Sunak and the Conservative Party.

    Perhaps I'm giving her more credit than I should, but I'm pretty certain, as Class 317 says, that she wouldn't have continued pushing to enact a law that was unlawful internationally. She'd have likely made some huge enemies, but she would have sorted it in a way that didn't pander to raving...
