Joking aside, the scene where Tywin schools Joff on how no true king needs to say that he’s a king is peak GoT. Absolutely incredible writing, acting and production from all involved.

Is it considered a staycation if you get a caravan for a week? Or is that below the Guardian?

Bingo!

Firstly, Chorley.

Secondly, I should rewatch Phoenix Nights. It’s been like twenty years, it’s time.

As for where I’m from? Walkers Crisps and Pork Pies.

Firstly, I upvoted the post because I’d like to see more discussion in this community rather than mere news.

As for your idea about spoiling your ballot. I’m not sure I understand the point of spoiling if you yourself would admit that you’d happily vote Green. Vote Green (if possible).

A sudden uptick in votes for other parties might do more to get the bigger parties to take notice then drawing a dick on your ballot paper.

I’m a Labour member and I don’t want to see them get this sort of majority. There needs to be some sort of functioning opposition to keep them honest and to serve as a threat that the good times won’t last forever.

I don’t for one second doubt that there’s some serious problems with Ofsted and how they conduct their inspections. I do however wonder if those being inspected are in the best position to decide if we need to blow it up.

Based on these comments it’s absolutely Long-Covid. I mean, I’ve never had COVID before, and I’ve got two very young children who spread disease like you wouldn’t believe…but it’s definitely Long-Covid.

Nah I’m fairly sure it’s the fact that I live with two people who spend most of their time sticking their filthy little hands in and onto things that have previously been touched by other, equally as filthy little hands.

Kids are disgusting.

Totally with you. I’d do away with the monarchy in a heartbeat if I could…but I’ll never cheer on someone going through a rough time in this way. Hope he makes a full recovery, same with Princess Katherine.

You think it’s perfectly fine behaviour if the standing government goes out of it’s way to call an election at a time that is widely regarded to be a bad time for a large portion of the electorate to get to the polls?

People should absolutely register to vote. However the government should be called out for what is essentially just an attempt to make life difficult for a group of people who pretty significantly don’t tend to vote for them.

One of the reasons BoJo called for an election on the 19th December for sure. Lots of students are at home rather than at university and it can be a real pain in the arse to move that stuff around at short notice.

I wonder if they’d even announced it had it not been for the media frenzy over the last month or so. Can’t imagine trying to shield your children from this.

Gotta respect it.

Why would you post an article you have not read?

Mainly because of a lack of time but a deep interest in drumming up a little activity in the community if I’m honest.

My opinion may well be wrong and Ill thought-out, but I’ll stand by posting articles from the beeb if I think they’ve got some relevance to the overall community, which I think this one does.

Thanks for the cordial conversation friend. I’ll quit my whining now.

38% of Scotland voted to Leave. 44% of Northern Ireland voted to Leave. 52% of Wales voted to Leave.

The idea that this is merely a mess of England’s making is a little unfair, because there’s plenty of blame to go around; Why did 44% of people in Northern Ireland think leaving the EU would be a good idea?

They pushed a question on people that they had no real ability to answer, and then forced us to answer that question with what was essentially a Yes/No answer.

I’m not one of those ‘stop all aid to foreign countries’ people but…why the hedge are we sending aid to China?

Wonder if there’s some third party software that they’re all using that’s having a rough few days, or has been updated and broken something?

Seems enforceable.

Maybe we should spend more time going after the shops that sell the cigarettes to the under age youth?

Can’t speak to Wickes but in my experience these sort of things are pretty handy way of figuring out how bad staff feel about your company…thus allowing you to then do fuck all to remedy the situation.

But hey, at least you asked.
