    Aye! Me too.  I don’t think there’ll be much voting from me for a while.  

     

    I think by the time these came out every place I heard music must already have been an 80's station or something. Really cannot recall a single one of them from memory by looking at the names, probably might if I heard them, but life is already too short.

    Because it’s virtue signalling.  The Icelandic broadcaster and music industry seems fo have been captured by the BDS movement. 

     

    1. Again, says who? You?

    2. Reference?

    3.  Try to answer the original questions....

     

    FFS stop postng your opinion without qualifying it as such. (If only there were a rule could force you on mod preview for that).

     

    I'll just have to follow others and block you in a bit, continuity be damned.

    Congratulations I never considered that for anyone else, Deathers and even Zorders never managed it.

    Iceland look set to withdraw in a pointless act of protest against Israel’s participation.

     

    Source? Deemed pointless by whom? Other that is than by you own good self?

     

    I don't even give a shit about the Eurovision, Gah, what am I doing?

     

     

    (Crem, the last one is rhetorical....)

    Good luck getting anything useful out of that tosser.

     

    Oh I know, but I just can't let it slide sometimes.

     

    If it's yet another Opinion Stated As Fact - it really, really grinds my gears and I'll probably never be able to let it go.

    If it's just terrible English and he means it as an opinion - It ought to be called out until he learns to preface it with "I think" or some equivalent. It's still pointless shite but at least not factually incorrect.

     

    I honestly don't know which it is and have little hope of actually correcting it, but one has to try.

    Winston always gets the GBeebians and the flagshaggers going

     

    Well yeah, digging up Harold Wilson, Anthony Eden, Alec Douglas-Home or even Ted Heath is admittedly less likely to rouse the flagshaggers (love that term).

    Is what Thatcher would or wouldn't have thought or done actually germane?

    She was about as divisive a figure as we have ever had as a PM.

    I mean if we could dig up dead ex-leaders for their take on current politics where would we stop exactly?

     

    Would Winston have been pro or anti Brexit?  Now you've got me wondering...Hm, EU....Probably not in fairness if Germany were in it.....

    30 years age difference, still think Iron Mike might do this!

     

    To be honest? I washed my hands of Tyson as a member of the human race after he chewed Holyfields ear off.

     And I still want him to beat some you tube asswipe. Go figure.

    What has really done me in is stopping the weekly cigar since new year (I noticed myself enjoying it too much) and stopping drinking around OH recently (for his benefit; he’s been teetotal for 4 years but is stressed at work so don’t want to trigger him). Never had a sweet tooth at all and won’t get into vaping. So when I crave, I just sit and suffer and piss and whinge. So my apologies if I’m grumpier than usual on here :D

    How could we tell?

     

    I've been off fags and on vapes for 10 years now. Not impressed with the budget naturally but understand it's not aimed at old farts like me.

    I guess I'm still somewhat addicted to nicotine, but less so than previously without a doubt. Have to see if I can be forced to quit vaping as well due to feeling fuck'd by the budget.

    IIRC someone dropped dead from jogging in around 1981, that put an end to my keep fit regime.

     

    Probably Jim Fixx (1984). That was widely reported (and probably chortled at by unkind couch potatoes) at the time.

    Legally?  I doubt it!  Maybe in Italy ......

     

    Well, back to me not being serious really. Just a joke.

     

     

    FWIW I'd assume a prosecution of the sex worker would be quite tricky on the basis that she'd been paid and thus Spencer knew exactly what he was doing (or at any rate trying to learn).

    I realise 'consent' isn't really the issue where underage is concerned. But I'm fairly sure most pro's don't go asking for photo proof of age ID's?

    Stuff chips.

    Baked potato king - 10 mins microwave - 10 mins air fryer (maybe a little longer both, depending on size). No cleaning needed. Result.

     

    Mainly as AFB says, its just an oven. But its a fkn sight cheaper to run, most ovens are about 7KW or something awful which is ok if there's 5 of you I suppose but terrible for one.

    So, if I read this right, had that 'young female assistant matron' just managed to contain her impulses for around 12 months she'd be fine legally speaking AND 15 quid better off?

    When you say it's a religion, do you mean that it's very easy to come to the conclusion that the practice is absolute fucking madness? 

     

    Well, if I can manage to be serious long enough and you aren't just taking the piss, both of which can hardly be guaranteed....

     

    In reality, I have zero time for religion and think they are all dangerous. If you need a supreme being of any description to ensure you "do as you would be done by" you're saying that by default you'd hurt others without this fear and at best I'm unimpressed.

    I also have zero time for paying for the advertising, that I hate, for a product that is no better and often worse than the own brand alternative.

     

    If you are actually saying what you appear to be saying that both religion and own brand are fucking madness, then I'm 50% with you.

     

    On reflection, I'm not serious, and you are taking the piss.

    Simple, by not watching Dragon's Den or buying his product.

    Aware of the sauce in fairness (and bought it once years ago) but if I've ever heard his name I've long since forgotten it..

     

    Same, minus the aware of the product (I wasn't).

    It's practically a religion with me to buy nothing but own brand, I skip ads as if my life depended on it too.
