Absolutely. We have become a society that has turned the innocent until proven guilty on its head.

I have only ever hired a mini skip.... Anyway..... So, these car parts I ordered from the USA arrived last Friday, or rather they didn't as nobody was home to sign for them. So I called them, FedEx, to explain that redelivery on Monday was pointless as nobody would be home so I would need to collect from the depot on Wednesday, my day off. This was agreed and they gave me, as requested, a postcode to find the place with. Yesterday I checked the postcode only to find THREE depots within a 20 mile radius....... Another call last night and a different postcode was given! This morning I set out on a 30 mile drive to Thetford. Arriving there I found security like Fort Knox and when I eventually got assistance I was informed that my parcel was on the Lorry and in my town and due delivery. Fucking hell.... 30 miles back home and 45 mins after getting through my door the parcel is delivered. A complete bunch of clinge buckets.

Possibly a case of exaggerating medical conditions to get a more lenient sentence? It can happen..

Nah, this is nowhere near that Monkey Tennis moment. You forget, as we all should, Gillian McKeith rummaging around in human excrement ( Richard Blackwoods IIRC) in the name of, well, fuck knows really.

No it wouldn't.

Yes but Scotchland is another country innit, different rules. It is more of a generalisation but, yes, it is true that various schools around the UK did decide that sports and games where you won or lost should be scrapped for pastimes where nobody had to suffer the heartache of defeat. IIRC, this happened more in London, obviously.

Sandra Oh is Canadian. Sorry for stating the obvious....

I get that. I felt the same about Broadchurch, I didn't bother with it till the last series and , yes, it was good but the way people talked the whole series up you would have assumed that it was the greatest piece of TV ever made.

Did you go into panic mode when you found out that you couldn't access the site......

Beaten to it by La Petomane by, oh, a 100 odd years.

Oh I loved this when I was, like 4. I secretly love it still.

You are just hard to please, aren't you Handy.

I loved the Night Manager and can't wait for the next series of Line of Duty. Strangely, for me, I have not seen the Bodyguard and only watched the very last series of Broadchurch, which was pretty good. I'm just finding that there is a lot of stuff on and not enough hours to watch it all.

No it's cool to. Too much musical snobbery out there.

I hate this thread, it infuriates me and makes me post long tirades and life really is too short for all that. Lets summarise things. This country has survived invasions, wars, poverty, disease, tyranny, democracy and everything else that has been thrown at it since it became a small Island in the channel. Through all of that we are the 5th ( or thereabouts) most powerful economy on the planet, we are socially and culturally diverse with a rich history most of the World envies. We have FREE healthcare, education and a welfare system that cannot really be bettered. Yes, it is not perfect, we moan about all of the above but, fucking hell, when you sit down and think about it, it's brilliant really. We have unions to protect the rights of workers ( I'm 30 odd years fully paid up) and we have business people and entrepreneurs that create jobs and create wealth, not always for the good from all ends but, again, it's not too shabby, is it. We are a nation built on migration, few of us cannot trace back at least one of our ancestors to other countries. We have nearly 4 million Europeans living in the UK, countless more from outside Europe living here too. We have a migrant crisis at the ports of France because they want to come here and we have enough French citizens living here to create the 6th biggest city in France. We cannot be that bad a place to be then, can we!!! We are industrious, hardworking, inventive and clever. We do satire and humour like no other nation or culture and we do drama as good as the best. We have football that is played in the most exciting to watch league in the World, we endeavour to be honest and show the greatest of integrity in all of the sport we play. We are seen as decent, honest and fair. Our judicial system has been copied and mirrored throughout the World because it is seen to be fair and true, not perfect but what is? We have punched above our weight for centuries because we are British. In view of all of that, why the fucking hell are we that bothered about the balls up that is leaving the EU? Fuck em all. ( sorry MSC, my last long post.... )

Obviously, when we are not in the EU, the Brit boat will become a frigate and blow those fuckers out of the water. This will then allow Jock boats free reign to catch whatever they want.

I agree. My piss has been boiled, that's my only excuse.

For balance https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-eu-referendum-donations-ten-wealthy-political-donors-make-up-half-vote-leave-remain-nigel-a7348321.html It was not all a one way street and you obviously do not get how Political funding works in the UK because, if you did, the bullshit article you are holding up to demonstrate how some mega rich billionaires hijacked the referendum and hoodwinked all of those poor saps into voting leave would have been left where it was and not used to demonstrate nothing at all. I won't bother mentioning the press and their allegiances or that most of us think Boris is a complete dick and he will NEVER lead his party let alone his country. Then again, what the fuck would you really know about it? Both sides were heavily funded and funded by people who had a vested interest in the result. So what? Business funds the Tories, the Unions fund Labour, that is the general way things work here but, amazingly, we are free thinking enough to vote the way WE want to vote anyway. Did you forget that the polls prior to the result showed the UK as staying in the EU? What you think is wrong, you think on the basis that the UK is beholden to the EU, it is not, no more than the EU is to the UK. Two way traffic. I can give you plenty of examples of the counter argument, people who believe leaving will be good but what's the point? You are German, you live in Europe and your country runs Europe in a way Hitler could only have dreamed about. Oh, if only we had known, over a century just how Europe would end up. Would we have wasted such young lives in going out there to die so that future European generations would have the freedoms to live how they want to, say what they want to and choose who they would want to lead them? Maybe not. They died in vain, so pointless. That does seem harsh but, at this moment, I am royally fucked off to read utter shite from somebody who has not a sodding clue just what millions of us would and HAVE sacrificed in order to have the right to choose the way we would like to live. Next you will be telling me about how Ireland will be unified by the result.

Unsurprisingly, you miss the point. Part and parcel of our useless Government trying to negotiate a deal is purely to appease those that voted to remain and businesses that assume the world is going to cave in when we do so. The point about the EU making remainers suffer pertains to the belief that their most ardent supporters in the UK are being sidelined by the EU leadership. Brexiteers did not want a deal so don't give a shit if there isn't one. Who the fuck are 'professional' brexiteers? Do you actually have a fucking clue who voted to leave? You may as well be talking about professional remainers who told everybody that our economy would collapse immediately if we voted to leave. Our Government is an embarrassment, useless, inept and dire, however, the EU hierarchy are equally as repulsive. It is what it is but don't confuse the negotiations with public opinion, they are separate, moreover try not to venture opinions on how we think or feel about it when you have no real idea whatsoever.

I'm watching it via the Beeb. Episode one was stonking! Jodie Comer is brilliant.

Wrong. Do you really think we voted to leave to cut some sort of preferential deal afterwards? Fucking hell.

No, I haven't.

True. Babs were just average.
