This from the House of Commons is worth looking at. I think Doctor Nurse John Campbell has become a bit obsessive and a bit too prolific lately, and has had people on his channel with less than ideal provenance. That said - if you wish to - take a look at some, or all of it. Then think for yourself,...

Well spotted. Blackburn you say. . . :smile: What is it about Nelson and MOT garages? This gentleman has one as well Deputy Mayor of Pendle He admitted all (and more) at the enquiry whilst legally represented, and was required to apologise. Hard to imagine the likes of David Whipp in a similar situa...

I watched a Planning Committee meeting at Oldham Council last night. (I know. . :smile: ) Main item was for a multi (3 fairly close to each other) site development for 132 new houses. Mainly for conventional semi-detached, with two thirds for the open market and one third to be 'affordable' social h...

I posted this only a week ago. . .

" but I now assume that most politicians are probably crooks, at best a bit odd, and most male Tories are gay - declared or otherwise".

Good of the Tories to confirm my thoughts so soon.

Lili from Lindemans has responded. Hi David, At Lindeman's, our focus has always and will always be to provide a refreshing, fruity wine that our customers love. Previously, this delicious wine has been sourced from Australia. In recent years, due to a global difficulty in sourcing of grapes in Aust...

Feb 23 2010 This is from Mary Ann Sieghart's column in today's Times. I think it is fair to say that John Prescott got more than he bargained for. It's not every day that the Deputy Prime Minister announces himself to you as a buffoon. This was just weeks after the 7/7 terrorist attacks and John Pre...

That's Oscar. He's optimistically outside the window as we speak, with one of his sticks, to see if I'm coming out to play. I'd like to but can't oblige.

It was bin day yesterday, and I'm bin monitor - so it's my job to put them out. I bumped into Iain next door taking a photo of his clump of Iris flowers. Turned out quite well I'd say. :smile: See "Plants of the moment" Bearded Iris Iris versicolor 'blue flag' If you want to see his whole ...

Interesting local news item A Nelson Man Dominic D’Souza, for Hussain, said the defendant had a number of references from well-respected people in society, including five councillors – whose names were not provided – plus a lawyer and a firefighter, who all said Hussain is a respectable member of th...

Bertrand Russell’s quip:

It's April - that's what it usualy does. Famous for it. . .

WASHINGTON—A new report from the Food and Drug Administration has found that breakfast, once considered the most important meal of the day, has now slipped to sixth place, below brunch and just above midnight snack. "Significant gains by lunch and dessert badly damaged breakfast's standing in ...

Good question - my immediate reaction would be for 'bad news', but it could I now realise, equally mean 'good news. I find that it is a Contronym or perhaps more correctly a contranymic phrase. Examples of such words are 'sanction' and 'cleave'. Reading all that shows that there are some really clev...

So did I. . . .

It's hard for me (and others) to get away from the thought that the Iranian attack yesterday was to some extent orchestrated. When they give 9 hours notice of the attack and the fact that from well over three hundred missiles of several different types not a single person was killed - then I begin t...

Hearing about the 'wind chill factor' today, I think Damart would be more appropriate.
Maybe that's why the business is now closed.

All I know about the woman is that I would be a lot happier if she was Leader of the Party and not Starmer. Really? :smile: She's off the front page today due to other global events. I thought she would be toast by now, as the might of the Murdoch empire (Times and Sun) put the boot in, but she may...

I've reminded them that my email was a complaint, not an 'idea or suggestion' and now think I'm being fobbed off.
I've put that thought to them. We'll see. . .

A bit 'off the wall' but a very memorable Google experience. :smile: I learned from the Failsworth Independent Party's Facebook page that Warren Bates a former Councillor had died. I thought little of it until gradually over a few days, I realised that the name Warren and the picture of this face we...

A good starting point in this episode would be the article in the New Statesman by tax lawyer and mega brained Dan Neidle Just expert facts. and with no Tory desperation, spin, lies, public school snobbery and just plain hatred. Worth a look. He explains which matters are 'out of time' and which are...

No - I saw no follow up. I redacted the chap's name in case he was found not guilty. Unlikey though I'd have thought.
