betrayed by labour???

Since 1979 labour had 13 years during which much regeneration of manvers and surrounding coal fields took place. In 37 years labour only had 13 yrs in power. Yet you swipe away everything thatch did and blame labour????

Bug ger me wi t'curly end of a Raja's slipper..... tha takes t'biscuit thee owd lad.

If you want to apportion blame look no further than per capita spending between the "north" and London and the south east. Out spent year, after year, after year.

Oh we have more than enough history to sneer at Americans for the next 10,000 years. 

 

Film. LA Story. Comment by Steve Martin.

 

"Some of these houses are 25 YEARS OLD". American history? PAH

Why the hell does Adobe Acrobat Reader need to reboot my system after updating itself? What core system files is it updating and why given it's just a document viewing tool.

And why does the bloody update option say "Adobe Reader needs to reboot to apply updates" but when clicked it actually reboots the entire system.

Nope, we have to use a year's old and compromised version of Java to make sure that our NHS England web apps work. They were hard coded to check for certain versions and won't work outside of that range.

People driving at 80+mph in 20 yard fog deserve jail time.

[Robin Evans]

However, folks drivings with fogs on in perfect conditions......

[Bedford Roughyed]

People driving at 20mph with full foglights when there is a light mist.

A fairly common problem across a range of, so called, modern web based systems. It can get really complicated when you have a number of systems deployed across an organisation each with its own specific needs.

People who stop dead in shop doorways. Either move in or out but don't "park" right in everybody else's way.

You'd think the Canadians would be better prepared.

Are Nissan Micras speed limited to 25MPH?

Why is there always one in front of me if I have a timed appointment?

The Montreal video was amazing!  Whoever was filming it from the building opposite must have been astounded, especially when the gritter joined in.

They are limited to 25 mph when you are behind them, and limited to 70 mph when they are behind you.

There was one in front of me acting as 40mph speed monitor for the road. The fog had completely lifted and it was long distance clarity yet he refused to pull over. We then had a blue light ambulance and he STILL refused to pull over. The ambulance had to overtake in the slow lane to get round.

Amber Rudd sound bite on Radio 2 news item and this stalkers law for "vulnerable women". At least some news sites don't actually quote that but this 'all men are rapists' implication really does bug me.

Very much like Taxis, one speed when they have a customer and another when they don't.

Have you got a dog?  The concept of wearing a matching pair of socks has become completely alien to me since I got my mutt.

Wear bigger socks. Proper socks in a chunky knit are much more difficult to lose.

[Robin Evans]

You say that.... one of my big woollen walking socks did one last winter....

Showed up again last week!!!!

Errant socks are a pain the ar se
