The Round Table

The Millenium Burglary.

It never ceases to amaze me that people leave their car keys in an easily accessible place, like hanging around in the hall or near doors or windows. This thread was provoked by a news item where a bloke had just picked up a new car and it was stolen...

Why is ebay supporting animal cruelty through its sale of fur coats?

Namely the array of fur coats and other garments made from chinchilla, rabbit and fox etc. I am amazed ebay is supporting one of the cruellest industries on the planet. I assume it has no sense of ethics. Not only does auto-fill assist the search for...

The NEWS, note the word NEWS?

I am heartily sick of hearing about Brexit. Virtually all of it is pure speculation. The NEWS is what's happened, is happening or is about to happen. What might happen, could happen, might possibly happen is NOT news. The Politcal journalists are com...

Is there any way that I can actually get to speak to anyone at Ebay ?

More empty kettles?

I expect many people will have seen the scenes of those disrupting a live news interview with Anna Soubry? The main empty kettle, James Goddard has been arrested and during his arrest, shouting can be heard "Well done James, the whole country is with...

Knives???

Just reading and watching the news about all these stabbings made me wonder where all the knives used in those offences come from? Are they all "kitchen knives" or "steak knives"?? Ebay is full of them! Carrying a "knife" is an offence isn't it? Howe...

Death of the High Street?

Many towns have lots of empty shops and "the media" often mention the death of the High Street and some are blaming online trading for the demise. However, is that really the case? Might it not be that really there were just too many shops selling th...

The train now departing is

Running at 200% of capacity, I am and always have been fascinated by trains, from my early years watching the stanier Pacific’s charging up and down the west coast main line, to the arrival of diesels and then electrification! All of that happened un...

New Years Day????

January the first seems a logical choice from a calendar point of view but the "new year" had already started by then? The shortest day is around the 21st of December so the next day is surely the start of a new year? "They" want to stop the annual c...

Happy New year.

Happy New Year and best wishes to everyone.

Charity Shops

I am quite surprised at how many clothes do not make it past the sorting .Staff pick over the goods, retaining the better items for sale in the shops, and rejecting the rest... .ie unfashionable - eg colour, pattern, style or material (such as nylon ...

This Drone business

Although yet to be clarified, The problems faced at Gatport Airwick seem to be blown out of proportion, were there drones or one drone, was it maliciously motivated if so what is that motivation, but possibly the most obvious question is why the damn...

It's the day with the longest night. After today, each night will be a little shorter and it's the start of the time when we can begin to look forward to the best time of year, SPRING. Celandines, Wood Anemones and the Bluebells. All the trees will b...

Well-

O-kay ho-say?

So, Jose has been sacked? Is he really bothered? It seems he has a pattern of doing well steering a team to early success only to fail badly later on? Do well, negotiate a nice new contract then fall out with the team to the point of getting the sack...

Christmas adverts.

There have been several threads before about our favourite christmas TV ads, but which ones do you hate. My vote goes to V.I.Poo. The advert in its self is totally gross but to suggest people give it as a christmas present is beyond belief. What's yo...

Maoam Sour Stripes

I haven't seen them in the shops for a few months. Only the plain Maoam Stripes. You can find the odd Sour Stripe in the Maoam MaoMixx packs. The shop keepers I've asked recently, didn't even know they had them in stock in the first place.
