Gaza Truck, 100 lost their lives BBC Verify https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-68445973 at best , a muddle, certainly a result of unnecessary military action , (<insert date of your choice here>) deliberate by "one side"? who knows but should never have got to this state of affairs

Rishi keeps saying Labour will take us back to square one. Honestly , do some of us think that might be no bad thing ?

Upcoming is the last in the present series of Call The Midwife. The timeline comes crashing into my memories, which I dont think were quite the same of London compared to how scriptwriting portrays it , but then my wanderings to East London were more on what was shown on TV (Town and Around in pre N...

Binge watching YT, Dealing with issues in/with Mum's Flat (permanently ongoing) , Forgetting to go to some local council/community meetings, getting annoyed at Banks and Banking Apps/Onlines etc. loosing Mobile Phones (and sorting new/replacement ones), posting facebook local history to do with mum'...

Nice to know the more frequent trips to the loo are less painful than fewer in pain! I only need about 100ml of the juice daily for the potassium to stop the leg pain and it's not enough to make a significant change to frequency of bowel movements. Oh, I normally have 1 litre a day, oops. Please te...

Slightly disappointed that a local candidate didnt get enough votes. I am told that the islamic proportion of voters is about 25percent in Rochdale, which is high , but if Galloway's 37percent of votes is proportional to turnout then he has a following beyond that demographic. Sunak and Starmer seem...

Rochdale Turnout 40percent roughly. Good Grief there were plenty of candidates to choose from

Tuga Dash Cams and Observations appears to have been posting on You Tube for a few years. Seems to be based in Barnoldswick, so this one looked interesting, warning might be addictive if you look at the channel

A newspaper is also becoming a forgotten corner 😉😁 Becoming difficult to get the fires lit in the steam locos apparently (though rags burn better) But dont you plck up the free "Metro" on the bus weekday mornings ? (is the MEN still free twice a week - not got into Manchester since mid co...

Is it sweetcorn or sweet potato? I need to know. . . . :smile: I've never had a sweet potato, I have tried sweet potato, but doesnt quite work taste and texturewise for me (although it is a root I dont think strictly it is of the potato family). You can get frozen sweet potato chips in bags at Sain...

I'm still taking my prune juice and can now walk much better. It only needs a small amount each day and I can tell if I've forgotten to take it. After so many years of pain in my legs when walking I'm now free of it. Such a simple `intervention' with an amazing result. :smile: Nice to know the more...

Another bus fire A35 . No mention as to whether it was a battery powered bus, but the ferocity of the fire looks a lot like it. Remember the explosion and fire at the High Court in London last week? Apparently that was the battery from an electric bicycle, and there was another such yesterday in a ...

It would help in selecting MPs if there was a clear definition of what constitutes anti-Semitism. In my book criticising the Israelis for their anti-Palestinian actions is not anti-Semitic. Precisely Stanley. If you listen to the recording of what Azhar said in the supposedly private Labour Group m...

Mr Galloway is mainly targeting Rochdale's Muslim population, who make up about 30% of the electorate, Not correct I think BBC - 30% of the population - but about 20% of the electorate / voters. With a low turnout it will still be enough to win though if they are all "whipped" to vote for...

He can rely on my vote. Much as I distrust Starmer and his brand of politics I have to support Labour in a national election even if it is on historical grounds. See THIS for yet another disgraced MP that could possibly trigger another by-election. MPs have approved a motion to suspend Blackpool So...

No Minnie pictures yet as she is still hiding, an expert we reckon. We think she has an invisibility cloak as well! We have tried to keep her downstairs to the through lounge and kitchen, checking each time we opened the living room door to go upstairs. Master plan was to open up a bit more of the ...

Yes they could Stanley but they cant be bothered, support for users is abysmal and effectively done by maintaining an anonymity stance. :sad: A couple of the FB groups I belong to - one on British Lorries I think have been hacked and the user/s cannot get back into the group to delete the (unsavory...

Rishi apparently has stated HS2 will continue from Birmingham , To Manchester , on existing tracks (So that is not exactly a 360km/h service increasing capacity of the rail network ?) https://scontent.flhr10-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/384504469_6332973213492210_1924799940293335838_n.jpg?stp=dst-j...

Sunak really has only changed the timeframe ambition at the "retail" level. Embedded in the legislation / regulations remain the things like new build housing having the heat pump/recovery systems and solar in them, this makes sense to design it in from the start, and can / should be done ...

Plaques that's interesting, I believe the phone number is the same for both Earby and Colne, 731370 is that the one you used? The old number is 731731 The new system is 911401. Normally a No6 position in the queue is a 15/20 wait. I thought 911 was barred from a prefix use due to an actual reserved...

Stanley, Plaques and Panbiker, you're all ranting about Sunak and the Tories when you should be thanking your lucky stars that we've got rid of Johnson and Truss and now have an intelligent PM. The opposition parties are dragging their heels when they should have been coming out on top with all the...

Bit bigger and upright at Kempton

You have about 6 days to whack £250 onto a sainsburys christmas club card to get an extra £25 on it. ( £250 by 23.59 1st Nov ) Asda give £15 I think on £250 on their similar one. The Sainsburys one can be used online (with a faff) and in Argos section too. Cards can be registered which should protec...

Me too! Just today I see plans for about 5 miles of new bus lanes in our town to stop them getting caught in traffic (but it's hard to see how they'd fit them into the current road widths). I'd have liked to see a commitment to shift to electric buses but no mention of that. I saw also that they ar...

They have dumped all the original lamps and replaced all the displays with new LED equivalents I believe. Your web cam view looks a bit lacking so here is this years switch on and displays. They look fine, actually better than the old ones in my opinion. :smile: I sort of liked the glow of proper l...
