    Because it's not true? Or at least it'd also be news to me. (and twbd7 has also edited now). I mean not that it matters a jot, especially in this place where it's a pretty fluid concept in the first place.

    Bloody Yanks....Fahrenheit, their own gallon size, fifth's for alcohol and a completely ludicrous way of putting dates that totally confuses the rest of the world because the order makes no sense. As you were. . Edit. Oh and cups as a measurement for cooking. What's that all about?

    Well, he's not short of a bob or two since he sold his moneysavingexpert website. But no, not him .

    More disingenuous bullshyze from a bloke who spends more than these amounts on a day trip in a helicopter. A two line precis of what Martin points out is:- The current personal tax free allowance for income is £12,750 a year. Single persons full state pension is £11,000 (ish, max). So you don't pay tax - if and only if, that's your only income. But that's not because the state pension is untaxed, that has never been the case nor is it proposed. The tories have tried to stealth increase tax by not raising the thresholds in line with inflation, and apparently trying to fix that in stone until 2028 (a change of govt notwithstanding). So if the pension goes up (as it will with the triple lock) to over £12,750, you'll pay tax on the part that exceeds that amount (if you weren't already via any other income) It's not rocket science. Tosser.

  9. They can't get enough of those ezee -roll-castors in Austria. No worries about the runway not being long enough this time though.

    I'm publishing that quiz things results, where's the democracy in that? Reform are evil and get a voice? I demand our voice is heard. Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells.

    General Election 2024?

    You can't win in a debate with Binface. Never going to happen, it's the very definition of lose lose. And that's assuming his policies aren't actually better than yours, which they may well be. And were, when I answered that questionaire!
  13. I thought the bingo box thing was a wee bit disingenuous really, possibly as with others of this type many of them are for humourous purposes. It just seems to list everything that might be said, that doesn't necessarily mean it's invalid though, merely that it might be said. The implication is that by being listed it is invalid which I think is unproven. Still it was quite amusing nonetheless. Also, I've no idea of the proportion of any sexual subset in society, but there seems to be a high correlation of non-straight, attracted to deathpooling simply because the posters on this site of non (normal? straight? cis? whatever word) seem to me to be way higher than I meet in genpop. Though of course there may be any number of things influencing that, not least that genpop doesnt wear badges. Before I get jumped on this is merely a curiosity really, not a complaint (find that in your boxes :)).

    Colditz

    Actually I'm really just taking the piss out of a profession I have no conception of. Aside from some period pieces and by that I mean periods a lot earlier than mid c20th isn't it just put some clothes on? I wasn't really serious mate, I could always go and look it up I suppose in the time honoured "let me google that for you" fashion .

    Ok, this might be dumb, but, in what way are the costumes of a historical nazi prison going to change for either the inmates or the guards over the course of whatever actual time period a tv season might cover? I admit I'm handicapped by not knowing what a costume designer really does, but lets ignore that for the time being.

    Vote for whatever the hell you like, that's the point! The fact that we may not like it is neither here nor there. In fact.... If we all liked the same things this would all be over in a day. Just be prepared that some of us are going to have an opinion about it and voice the same. But that's just joking really. (I also appreciate that it's hard enough to tell what is serious and what is not from the written comments here even if English is your first language. So - much harder when it isn't)

    Have an extra like here. . Don't start me on the iniquities of Council Tax. Just don't. I'll settle for a couple of points to get it off my chest. Check out the cheapest council tax in the country it's massively less than you pay (clue, you probably can't buy a house there). How 'fair' is that? Potholes, I cycle a bit as well as drive a car, so get shouted at 'I pay my road tax' a fair bit. Yes you do sir, but it doesn't go on the roads, nor does the fuel duty, nor the VAT on the fuel duty. You know who pays for the potholes to be fixed? The local council....who get none of that money.

    And now if she insists on standing for labour will apparently be doing it naked. This is not a picture I wished in my head tbh.

    Donald J Trump

    He's a self serving cunt of the highest order. Anyone who cannot see that is a fucking idiot. I don't know how many ways there are to put this, we're fucked that anyone votes for him. As a slight aside - American gun laws kill hundreds or even thousands of people a year. If you defend any of that? You're barking and shouldn't be allowed to vote. I despair sometimes. It's not that complicated.
