It seems that I put my foot in it ... but what should I have done?

My next-door-neighbour died a couple of days ago. We weren't what I would call friends, but he had lived there for over 20 years and we chatted occasionally and helped each other with a bit of DIY or garden maintenance every now and again, especially...

Wolf whistling, compliment or harassment?.

Yesterday a lady called police and complained about builders whistling , commenting and harassing her.I must admit my first reaction was what a fuss about nothing when I heard it on the radio.Later as I heard more about it I changed my mind.One of th...

What do you think of it so far?

The general election campaign, has it enthused you to vote? Have you connected with a party or are you finding it all a bit limp?I don't feel inspired by Cameron or Milliband, Farage peaked too early, the greens are very poor, Liberals are stuck with...

The ousting of Luther Rahman, the disgraced former mayor of Tower Hamlets.

Was an inspiring example of people power in action. The Metropolitan Police Service had declined to bring a prosecution against Rahman and his supporters for their behaviour in the 2014 election - so four private citizens decided to do it instead.The...

Who was it?

Anyone remember who it was that posted on here and campaigned against aspartame? Just thought of him as there's been a sort of minor victory in the USA:- http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-32478203

Are you part of the vinyl revolution?

Well vinyl sales have soared in 2015 to 1. 4 million. Apparently about 20-years ago they were down to around 20,000. Well it could be time to dig out those dusty old LPs as an increased demand for rare vinyl has sent prices spiralling. Original press...

Help!

Please can anyone help? I have a small TV which plays DVD's. I put a DVD in it and watched it, and now I want to get the DVD out. There is no Eject button on the TV, or on the remote control. I thought maybe if I let it run again, then it might autom...

A question for the ladies...and any gentleman who would like to comment.

What do the ladies on here think of the current craze amongst men of sporting a full moustache and beard. Every time I turn on the TV there is some celebrity or TV personality wearing facial hair...the full works. Last night it was Daniel Radcliffe a...

And now for something completely different....

Pythonism ! Well we already have Darwinism, now we have Pythonism. Today is the ' The Great British Cigarette Debacle'. It's the day when, by law, all cigarettes in places where these are sold, must be hidden behind closed doors. No longer will you b...

Is it just me?

Or does anyone else find the idea of six and eight year old children with transgender issues ridiculous? How can they even know what trangender issues are without parental or other outside intervention? Discuss http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-3203...

? ? ? Quite Interesting ? ? ?

Has the BBC suddenly became obsessed with the exterior of their London HQ ? It seems that the cameras and presenters have to move outside to the courtyard during almost every episode of the 'One Show', to show us something they assume is 'quite inter...

How friendly are you?

Are you curious and creative but a bit standoffish? Then you're probably a Londoner. Think of yourself as more dependable and down to earth? You may well live in the Midlands. And if you pride yourself on your friendliness and ability to stay calm in...

Sickening?.

The death of any child is devastating, but to trot this out with an election in the offing is unbelievable.If it brought them to breaking point, with all the help available to them, how do they think other parents of disabled children manage, especia...

Anybody watch last night's debate?

Non event of the year so far in my opinion. They all made their opening statements then spent the next two hours more or less repeating themselves. I don't think any of them made any arguments to persuade me to vote one way or the other. A complete w...

The News?

Is "The News" on TV worth watching for the next few weeks? At lunchtime today the BBC spent twenty minutes on the election issue and Sky news was the same. What for? The actual, real news was that Parliament had been dissolved and that was it. The re...
