The Round Table

Entertaining or frightening?

At first look an entertaining demonstration of how robotics is advancing but how long before guns are attached?

Look at the below Paypal home page."Let's make it one to remember""This Christmas might be different"Look at the shapes formed in purple by the marching cartoon people.It's a warning I tell you.If this message is deleted I will have to assume both th...

Deal or sell-out?

So, they've "agreed" some sort of trade deal with the EU eh? Hmmmmm, so now we wait to see what the details are? I suppose both sides will be claiming some sort of "victory"?

Resolved! The unbelievable thickness of Trump

.... Injecting with disinfectant, putting UV sterilizing light inside the body......?! **bleep**Even more stupid and ignorant garbage being uttered by this fool. He should be laughed out of the White House. Sensible Americans must be so embarrassed.

Herd Immunity?

This morning I saw part of a discussion on the BBC news channel about herd immunity between two "experts", one a proponent of herd immunity and the other a detractor. I understand we can develop some sort of an immunity to some diseases but others ca...

Another milestone passed?

The Winter solstice was just after 10am so now we can look forward to each day being lighter for longer I remember as a kid playing out in the snow with the other kids 'till "late" in January because it seemed so light. When I finally went home and g...

A tragic day.

It was 23 years ago that Diana died. I remember the first newsflash that said Dodi was dead and Diana was injured. Sadly....... she died.......... There's a song now on the choons thread, play it?

Has anyone ever had their Paypal account limited? Having trouble getting it resolved

Resolved! JOKES

LETS START 2014 OF WITH A NEW JOKE THREAD..

First Sighting

First Sighting I Seen Him Today .

Politicians?

What's your take on them (of any persuasion)? Asked a straightforward question which to most people would have a "yes" or "no" answer and a politicion will launch in to a two minute (or longer!) ramble which is absolutely non-committal. At the end of...

Another for Astro.

Astro wanted a thread so people could argue. So far there's not been much argument on the first one so is that because of the sometimes difficulty signing in or have all the argumentative type's gone? Anyway, anyone wanna argue about builders? Are th...

The ebay StupidityThread.

Ebay is still (sometimes) telling me that I have no Notifications and I should "Ask a new question or start a new thread" to see activity here. This seems to cut through the current board problems and at least opens all the board functions as they sh...

It's that time of year again.

What time's that you say? It's a one word answer. Gritters! Message from the local Council this evening:- "It’s getting colder and our gritters will be out on the high routes at 9pm for the first time tonight." I know I say it every year, but why oh ...

Astro's new thread.

Right, Astro wanted a thread so here we go. "The Government" are doing all sorts of things that people are saying they 1/ shouldn't, 2/ are not needed or 3/ should be doing something different. So, in the opinion of posters what IS needed and what SH...

Anyone else?

Opening the RT takes me to a "Business Seller" page. Clicking my Favourite link takes me back to that page. Sometimes just refreshing the RT page takes me to that page. If I manage to open the RT, it's an "unsigned in" RT.If I click "sign in", it tak...

The Universe?

I've just read an article stating that scientists have precisely measured the total amount of matter in the Universe for the first time. What twaddle! How can you "precisely" do that when you've no idea how big the Universe is? I think "scientists" s...

It's Margie's Birthday.

Many happy returns Margie. You made it? The balloons are out, the (gluten free) cake is made and she's building up plenty of puff to blow out all those candles. Even the dogs know something momentous is happening. The sky has cleared and I can see lo...

Remember the clocks go .................

BACK tonight as we once again head into winter.Will this be a winter of discontent ?

Really, really hating the new-look ebay

The title says it all I don't like the new 'newly listed' device - it's *much* harder to see (on my screen anyway, with my middle-aged eyes) that the bright yellow flash. I don't like the larger fonts - it makes the site look like something for 5 yea...

Optics????

What does the word "optics" mean to you? To me, they mean the row of bottles that dispense a measure of a drink in bars or something to do with lenses and light. This morning on the BBC I heard someone using the word "optics" to describe the meanings...

Just for fun who does ebay remind you of?

Just to lighten up these boards who or what does Ebay remind you of in a humerous way?For me it's Benny Hill "rye you no risten?" plus all the running around in circles. 722

For Suzie (& any long-covid sufferers)

Opinions please on what you think it would be like if .............

Instead of Covid-19 being as they say a virus that is more lethal to people with underlying health conditions and of a more mature age than it is for younger generations ?In my opinion the older generations would be doing their utmost in the majority...
