  1. Star Trek Picard was a great watch and even better if you are a trekkie and can pick up the links. "Stand by for my stalkers to arrive and rant about something"
  2. Blind spot goes even more off track than the Blacklist from Season 2 on. Be warned. If you haven't watched it have a binge at the Good Fight. ( unless you support D Trump) or Designated Survivor ( which is scarily current - esp S2)
  3. I think I have just been mugged off by my 3 elderly neighbours! All are widows and I am happy to look out for them all but got a call today saying next door had been ill all Christmas (widow she may be but she has attentive children. grand children and now great grand kids) and she said I would love some of your soup. So pan on, lamb curry veg soup, made some fresh bread d and as soon as it was in the oven the poorly 89 year old hopped in her car and off down the shops saying " will it be ready when I get back?" All 3 got a saucepan of thick lamb curry soup and a third of a freshly baked loaf each!
  4. In my late teens, my drink of choice was Canadian Whiskey, but as I have matured and been able to afford whatever I want to try, the Irish stuff is the one that most impressed. However, I think you miss my point on that American Whiskey is spelt with an e, which is the Irish spelling of the word, which implies that it was the Irish (not the Scottish) who introduced it to N America.
  5. Now you have wandered into the minefield of spelling it with an e! Irish whiskey and Scottish whisky! Being from N Ireland I will simply point out that the oldest distillary in the world , with a licence dating back to 1608 is Bushmills in N Ireland! The Black Bush special reserve is a drink to savour!
  6. Rant update 3: an old (I think she is 93) dear left out a bag and a van arrived to collect it this morning. Despite being told they were collecting illegally, a council licencing officer catching then and warning of a prosecution, despite the police being told it IS their responsibility, they showed up to collect bags left out! I have given the van details to the council (who actually seem to want to stop it) and video so they can try an close them down. But they will pop up again with a new name. Please report all collections. They need council permission and few have! The council officer told me, few report it and they cannot act until someone does. Most of these are cons! Pick up the phone and ask.
  7. Rant update 2. Salford Council guy has found them and they admitted under caution what they were doing, but claimed they thought it was Warrington. He is writing to charity commission to cancel their charity number, police are now also involved for fraud and Border agency has been called to verify the claim that they are Bulgarian as they claimed. Another fake military charity shut, Rant over!
  8. Rant update: when I got in touch with Salford Council they confirmed it was a criminal gang they had been trying to catch for months and had someone at my house within 30 minutes. In fact he arrived while I was still giving details to GMP and was able to speak to them directly and tell them they, by not knowing the law, had missed an opportunity to arrest a major fraud team. Despite me keeping them talking for 34 minutes while on the phone with a police call handler who dismissed the whole thing, refusing to send a police response they have now launched a man hunt! So much for public being their eyes and ears. Eh?
  9. Firstly can apologise for any swearing , spelling and grammar, but I have to wait another 10 mins to unload my fury! ( So rant here) 06:02 was woken as my German Shepard went mad ( normally a quiet doggy) so got up to see what was the issue. It turned out to be a charity bag through the letter box! Thought to myself 6! Am pretty sure they are not allowed to start until 7 (bad enough) so threw on some clothes and decided to politely tell him (through pigeon English and pointing at watch he needed to wait until 7. He seemed to agree. ( The next 5 neighbours he was about to go to are all in their 70/80s and all widows - in fact they all have moved in before I was born ( and I treat them all as my gran), so all seemed fine! I looked out and he had just carried on! So I put on shoes, got the (fierce looking) German Shepard on a lead and caught up with him and his partner. Called the police on 111 and reported it, was told nothing to do with them. So decided to stay, while they called their boss. (Confident that dog looked fierce, but is far from it (though if someone went for me ..) A lad happened to be walking back from work and stopped. Told him what was happening, but I was fine. A white fan arrived with 4 more people who turned out to be Bulgarian and a stand off ensured while I again was son the phone to the police asking they come. I spent 40 mins on the phone with a civilian call handler who was more interested in my address ( even though I was 3 streets away), never asked the Reg of the van, and tried to play some sort of TV show lawyer. 40 mins later, the Albians ( which I discovered) asked what I wanted and I said to get out of this area and don't come back. They then said ok, all got in their van and the Muppet from the police (who is still one the phone) , "ok so you don't need us anymore" I just hung up, the lad who had stopped on his way home, volunteered to put his name and number in my phone. Now, being the person I am I have discovered 3 illegal acts that the police are responsible to deal with an and this rant has filled my time until I can confirm something with Salford Council, which means they didn't bother with a fraud. FInally. Why I have really seen my "bottom" is that it is supposed to be working for a forces charity (forcessupport.org) who according to filings at the charity commission(2016) have raised £2.4m and spent £2.1m on pay and administration. Enough said ! Rant over and phone calls to make.
