    Having watched part one of Noel's Kiwi adventure, I think he needs to be surgically removed from his own backside.
    I gave it 20 minutes and bailed out, trying and failing miserably to copy Clarksons farm.

    this is a disaster of a policy. It will become a feeding frenzy for hackers and the dark web.

    Out walking Stan in Chinbrook Meadows this morning. 
    Looks like a family decided to have a picnic in there yesterday and just left all of their rubbish (Food, cans, bottles, paper plates and cups) in the middle of one of the football pitches. 
    Just spent 10 mins taking it to one of the many rubbish bins. 
    Trampy feral twats.

    Why is it almost almost impossible to get a proper pint of bitter in pubs.I went to a pub yesterday I had not visited before,there must have been 6-7 choices of lager and one choice of amber  ale.

    Was it bloody Doom Bar? The most boring ale on the market, pretty much.
    And the choice of quasi Italian/French/Belgian/American lagers will doubtless all have been brewed in the same giant stainless steel tanks in Staffordshire, with largely identical ingredients. Don't go back to that pub, is my advice.
    I did visit one pub in Waltham Abbey where the landlord, when asked what bitters he had, proudly declared none, it's all lager in here. Or Guinness.
    Deeming it unworthy of my trade, I insisted to my very thirsty lager drinking companion that we leave immediately. Some pubs deserve to close.

    I notice that roughly half the number of Charlton fans can identify things that annoy them, when compared to those more positive. I think this shows that despite all the winging, complaining etc we are by nature positive and outgoing supporters- god knows why!

    Well the Labour government and our bias media do put my blood pressure up a bit.

    It was worse when the biased media supported the incumbent government, no bloody respite from it...

    Used to always have Union Jack flags for England matches. We won the world cup with the majority who did have flags they were Union Jacks.

    Didn’t it become the flag of NF in the 70’s & 80s? So people moved away from it. Also it not the England flag.

    I think the first tournament where the St George’s Cross replaced the Union Jack as the predominant flag was Euro 96, so a fair bit later. 

    I’m not sure it was anything to do with the NF, but more having the Euros in England.

    When you answer a question based on what you know, and when double checking on Google, AI validates your position.

    Should I be pleased because I was right, or pissed off because now anyone can answer any question, even if they don’t know the answer, in a millisecond, with AI removing the need for even the most cursory bit of research.

    The nonsense that is "Marketing".
    In the supermarket there is a product called "Ultimate", which indicates to me that's the best product they can create.
    On the shelf above is another called "Ultimate Plus". WTF does that even mean?

    Going to make an assumption here of what product you're talking about but could Ultimate Plus be for women with larger holes.

    Commuter trains with no vents or air con. Dread to think what the temp is in this sauna but have sweat dropping off my head. 

    Borderline dangerous tbh if we hit an issue. Poor pregnant woman opposite me

    Had the same this morning. Was actually relieved when I got off the train into the sunshine. Got on my bus and I must of looked a state as the driver who I know said don't they have air con on the trains? Just replied they might but not on the one I was just on. Ridiculous.

    Misinformation and disinformation still somehow managing to reach my parents despite me trying to help them filter out rubbish from their social media. What happened to not believing everything you read!

    My Father in Law was a sane man at one stage, then got a Twitter account & has essentially been radicalised by the right, he bangs on constantly about Reform, Tommy Robinson & all kinds of Trump related propaganda - worse thing he ever did getting Twitter

    Madness with how much train fares are these days that trains don't have basic AC, or at the very least windows throughout the carriages that can open more than 5cm.
