Baz Reference: 1. People on a bus who sit on the outside seat near the gangway leaving the inner seat near the window either empty or with a bag on it. They stubbornly and rudely remain like this until there is only one seat left. Sometimes they actually need to be asked to allow access to the empty seat. Oh I couldn't agree more on that one Brisket I don't drive, so spent all my working life using public transport, and that was one of my pet grrrrrrrrrrrs I have even seen them do that when...

fibre optics
brisketbrisket
El Loro Reference: brisket Have I got that right? I think so, but that is based on what someone posted here a few weeks ago. I'm on Virgin nowadays as there is no date on the BT website that they will be installing fibre optics in my area for at least a year, and I suspect a lot longer. [ more ]
squiggle Reference: Marooned... love that word The Sainsburys guy has just managed to get through with my grocery delivery (when the men packed up work for the day) I practically pounced upon him with relief [ more ]
brisket Thanks El Loro. I was prompted to ask because, like squiggle, they have recently laid down fibre optic cable in my area. So - if I understand correctly - the data is transmitted more speedily through fibre optic, but then between the phone cabinet and my home (the last few yards) it reverts to a steadier speed again. Have I got that right? [ more ]

MrMincePie Reference: I don't see why the taxpayer is being expected to stump up for any of this tbh. We're in the middle of the shit economically Didnt you hear??? We are saved... the new buses are here Only in London that is Im sure we can get them all over the country though, all we need to do is cut another few hundred thousand jobs [ more ]
cologne 1 For what it's worth, I'll give my bit of opinion. I think they are two people who have gone through the same shite as any of us, they separated and didn't like it, so got back together. On his side, he has to deal with hundreds of years of ceremony, on her side, she's a middle class girl (the very worst) and I hope that she will stick to her believes. Ultimately though, I don't care. [ more ]

Dirtyprettygirlthing This year's Iceland one was a bit of a shock... last couple of years they have had really annoyingly catchy ones.... twas one of the ones (along with M&S & Asda's) that used to drive me nuts... cos I would find myself singing them.

That's still nice though - I kinda memorise who sent what Christmas card and as I look up or glance around it makes me think of them. We have moved arond in our life and it's lovely once a year to get a greeting from old friends. [ more ]

The Devil In DiamanteThe Devil In Diamante
Soozy Woo I've watched it again ......................if the Alligator opens his jaws it's no more than an inch or so is it? Looks like a bit of Alligator baiting IMO. [ more ]
Eugene's Lair Reference Satsoomawoo Today at 16:57: I bet the alligator has his jaws wired shut - surely he'd have just snapped him up otherwise wouldn't he? He doesn't even open his mouth - sorry I'm just an old sceptic. You can see someone's legs very close by - would anyone really get that close if there was something to fear? The aligator at the very beginning has its mouth open. Also, the one who gets hit by the cat has its mouth open at the time (you may have to look closely to tell though, as its... [ more ]

Jeremy Kyle show on now!!
Christmas ChickenChristmas Chicken
cologne 1 Sorry, but why does anybody watch this crap? [ more ]
brisket A young man has been thoroughly, humbled, humiliated and made to look weak. And all because his girlfriend is massively insecure. And another thing - what sort of a counsellor is Graham (the man Kyle describes as a genius.)? He stands idly by while Kyle does his grossly offensive and disturbing behaviour. What sort of a therapist and counsellor would do that? One who makes a lot of money and because a celebrity that's who. [ more ]
brisket Why do the guests put up with it? I presume they are advised that they will be verbally attacked, but then later Mr Kyle will put a gloss on it, and flip things over. He gets worse. I expect the nasty man and his nasty producers have got away with so much that they now feel they can go even further. He actually blatantly threatens and bullies people. "Come back here", "He'll have me to deal with", "I won't let her within a thousand miles of you." He screams and bellows centimetres from their... [ more ]

For the Political and Financial Intelligencia here :)
Yellow RoseYellow Rose
El Loro Assuming that Foundation X is genuine, and David James's background is such that he would be able to make a sound opinion, there is the small problem that financial assistance of this nature would in all likelyhood be subject to vetting and approval by the EEC. It would be hard for one EEC country to receive major financial support without other EEC countries being able to participate on an equal basis. As a result I can understand why the government would be a bit nervous. Also, I find it... [ more ]
Yellow Rose We aren't told the truth about so many things. You know that saying "the truth shall set you free" ? we're not told the truth because "they" don't want us to be free [ more ]
cologne 1 I was listening to them today, driving my daughter to different appointments and waiting in the car. IMHO, we aren't told the truth and, unless we are economical wizzards, we have no chance in catching up. [ more ]

Introduce Health Insurance?
RiverRockRiverRock
Former Member Reference: I have no problem with private patients but they shouldnt use up NHS beds or Theatres. What is going on now within the NHS, if one doesnt know, would make ones shackles rage. I've thought that for a while Skylark. Someone's post up there^ mentioned 'having the money and going private' I was tempted to post then about it being NHS surgeons/docs/nurses that provide the treatment [ more ]
Former Member I work and have done so since I was 18 and paid my National Insurance . So i feel i am entitled to "free" NHS treatment. But after working with the NHS most of my working life, i beleive a review is badly needed. There are some ops and treatment thru the NHS that quite frankly, people should pay for privately. Some people are taking resourses thru the system that they shoudnt really be doing. I work in an NHS hospital, but the surgeons do private work too, within NHS resourses, which is all... [ more ]
Suzi-Q Reference: Holy crap I didn't think it was a much as $300 a month! That was 12 years ago, no idea how much it is now, but I doubt that the cost has gone down. That's on top of federal tax, state tax, Social Security payments, etc. [ more ]

Former Member Not been on for a bit so reading thru. I saw on the news this banquet, and felt sick at the money this would have cost. I dont think there was any need for this.Well done Cologne for bringing this issue up, and dont apologise [ more ]
El Loro There's a story in my mother's family that a long time ago one of her descendants was the butcher for the Royal family. As a result he and his descendants were automatically allowed to attend the Lord Mayor's Banquet. I am not about to find out if I would still be permitted to attend as I wouldn't want to go, and in any case I could find myself being taken off to the Tower of London [ more ]

Former Member Reference: Not sure about "The Ring" , Although a lovely gesture, and "normal" families do this, but it is a different generation, and i am not sure, when originally given, it was given with love But at the same time William is making sure his mum will never be forgotten, which shows, in my opinion, what a nice man he is. Yes I see what you mean and he actually used the word "Mum" as opposed to mother which to me spoke volumes. Yes there has been so much criticism about Diana but she was a... [ more ]
