    The original run wasn't hosted by Parky though....
  2. Unfortunately, it isn't just neglect. When folk on Question Time talk of dumping their excess nuclear waste in Scotland, gaining chuckles and cheers.... When Scottish Parliament budgets are cut merely on political grounds rather than financial requirement... When politicians take our farmers' EU payments and spend the majority of them in England... When Inheritance Tax revenues paid on a UK wide basis are appropriated for care budgets solely in England... When Scotland cries out for immigration and globalisation, she is ignored because folk down South are becoming more insular and nationalistic.... When Bawjaws has made statements that no Scot could or should ever become Prime Minister of the UK.... I could go on and on. The Union hasn't worked for Scotland in decades. If Bawjaws does get in at any election, the Union is over.
  3. Maybe the Tories will now ensure that rUK leaves the Union between it and Scotland. I mean, that's what Tories normally do when they dislike rulings of a Court - see EU.

    22. Sir Geoffrey Boycott

    Seems to be a bit of a stushie about his knighthood. Apparently convicted of hitting his then partner 20+ years ago, now Tezza gives him a knighthood (while Tezza was always the one talking about helping domestic abuse victims). Remember the rape clause? Remember the women's refuges being shut down under Cameron when she was Home Secretary? Tezza's got form, so has Boycott. Ah.
  10. The answer remains no. Instead of building a deal in Brussels, he's removing the ugly railings on the cliff edge of Brexit.

    Robert Axelrod, the voice of Lord Zedd and Finster in the Power Rangers franchise, reportedly dead at 70: IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0043498/ I know him from The Blob (1988).

    Ask A Deathlister

    Probably a good question for @Lard Bazaar, @Going Underground, or others. Obviously we are in the process of clearing Dad's house. I have come across a badge that used to belong to my late brother - Iron Maiden Killers. There are others, but as this was one of the early albums, think it would be worth anything? Asking for a beneficiary... Looks like this one:

    Inventors thread, businesspersons thread..... I'm struggling UK wise, not rural...but maybe in the great wide world there are famous farmers out there. If only Bernard Matthews were alive today...

    Famous farmers and agricultural people

    Well, all the gardeners can go in the Gardeners thread that already exists. A lot of UK farmers are aristocrats. Thread for that too. After that, becomes a niche thread....
