Potholes?

There's been reports of potholes all over the country and loads of complaints about them but no explanations of the cause for them? Looking at them round here, it seems that the road surface that's failing is showing 1/ a lack of adhesion of the surf...

Right, that's over?

We've had the EU elections now and it seems pretty clear the electorate want OUT? Now, what purpose would another referendum serve if the EU result is anything to go by? Those pushing for a new referendum don't say what stance they'd take if another ...

Is the Labour Party broken?

Seven MPs have resigned from the party to form their own group. What next? It seems it's Corbyn and the Left that's the "problem"? There's no doubt that Corbyn is and always has been a lefty and that Momentum group sounds like trouble too? They're be...

What happens to modern ivory??

I'm sure we all know that to try to stop the killing of elephants the sale or use of modern ivory is banned. So what has happened to all the elephant tusks from animals that died of natural causes since the ban was introduced??

Why was it necessary?

For children to bunk off school in order to protest against climate change? I think it is a sad day to see children telling adults to pull there fingers out on what is a completely preventable phenomenon! It was also sad to hear some of the things th...

Corbyn used for target practice?

Today’s revelations about a group of paratroopers shooting paint at a poster of Jeremy Corbyn are being investigated by the mod! I have watched the video which does not give a source and noticed that the guys appear to be aiming at proper targets how...

Snooker?

Anyone watching? Looking at some of the British players, they look really scruffy with stubbly heads and bristly chins. They look most untidy, even scruffy. You can imagine that if it wasn't for snookers dress code they'd be turning up wearing scruff...

Ironing water.

Yesterday, whilst doing a spot of shopio, I noticed something that stopped me dead in my tracks. Ironing water!! I have never heard of anything so ridiculous. It came in (yet another) plastic bottle . How can any sane person actually waste good money...

Negative feedback

What's the point of leaving negative feedback when it disappears a few days later. Of course it's a super wonderful seller, one of Ebays finest. Feedback disappeared from his and my feedback. There is no trace of it. Come on Ebay be fair, if a seller...
