My thoughts too. It's been used many times to discredit opposition or to justify a violent response.

I've got to say I'm another vote for a laser printer. They don't get dried and clogged up, and last so much longer.
More expensive to buy, but cheaper in the end.

My partner is 60 and does IT support. It's a lot of the younger ones he deals with who he struggles with more tbh

Well Reform's announcement finally shows them for the racist, xenophobic scum that they are. This was never about illegal immigration which we knew. They're finally saying the dark part out loud. Those who would vote for them, need to think long & hard about the country they want. No more excuses.

This is lovely!

Even some conservatives must be shocked and appalled by this. Well I hope so.

It's actually going to be 5 hrs. Still going to have to condense it I imagine, but really proud of Channel 4 in this environment.

He has incited violence so I'm with you, but it seems like because of X governments are afraid to call him out.
They need to leave that hell site at least.

I do hope so. Saturday was depressing enough, but when there was no push back from PM that was worse. This is more what I want to see and hear.

Absolutely. It's been growing worse for a while, but this weekend seems particularly depressing.

Whilst I do think we need a new head coach, the timing is awful.
I also agree something is not right with the club.
I know money is an issue for all the clubs these days, but I feel like we're not on the right path. Hope I'm wrong.
Think I would like Nev to step up, but not sure he wants the job.

Whilst it won't win any awards, I really did enjoy it. It didn't take itself seriously, the leads were great, and like you, I loved the montage sequences.
I could happily re-watch this one, and I don't say that about a lot of the action films coming out these days

How have we come to think this is acceptable?
The lies, the vitriol, it's truly vile.
Some days my faith in humanity is severely tested.

Lovely to see something positive when the world feels so horrifying.
Wonderful that youngsters are embracing reading.
I know I use it to get away from the madness sometimes.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Trump acts like a toddler having a tantrum, even the way he writes.
Sadly, he's encouraged by those around him.
Anything to divert attention from Epstein files.
Not working this time Donny, even your own base want to see them.

Don't worry, it's real. Scottish newspapers don't hold back.

Ooh love this series. So sad when he passed. His love of music, myths and the land was fabulous.

We loved the vibe around there. Forbidden Planet & Murder One for both romance & fantasy. Get a bag full of books. Then off to the pub to go through them all. Such happy days 📖 ❤️

I used to love going there!
You could get American imports as well.
