Couldn't see it, then I cracked out the magnifying glass... can hardly be called a "garden"

https://metro.co.uk/2024/04/14/ronnie-osullivan-calls-world-snooker-championship-move-crucible-20646000/ I'm guessing money would be the main factor? Although I can't see it going down well with fans... I doubt many would be willing or able to shoulder the expense of going to China or Saudi Arabia to watch it in person... with that in mind, surely they wouldn't be making as much money from ticket sales?

She's dead... so what the hell is the point in going back to the case, other than to try and appease her family in some weird way?

How come? What put you off? I've had a bog standard Roku stick for years, for taking on holiday and breaks away, and never really had any issues 🤔

Probably whoever wants to win some votes for the upcoming elections 😉

Always sad when a family member dies. My memory of that shop was taking a Dyson hoover in for a service and clean and the owner going on a half hour rant about how awful Dysons are, how James Dyson lied to everyone, and then tried to sell me some random brand I've never heard of, but when I looked it up online it was garbage 🤔 A week later went to collect my hoover, got it home... still in the same condition as I dropped it off in.

Since I can't edit... And those statistics are from 2016 😮

I think the ban will have to be pushed back anyway as the infrastructure simply can't be in place in time. That combined with the higher price for electric and hybrid when compared to a similar model ICE car means the majority of people would just not be able to afford to change.

Great... lets all buy loads of counterfeit stamps and post them to the homes of the executives of Royal Mail, see how long this idiotic rule lasts 😜

Wouldn't it be cheaper to simply disable the HDR setting? If you post the model number I'm sure we can find the manual and figure out how to switch it off 👍

I have a spreadsheet for the monthly essential outgoings and then I can see what my "spare" cash is for the month. There's plenty left over to enjoy myself and buy treats 👌

It depends on your goals as a country. If you want to dominate and dabble your hand in everyones business then the China route is the way to go. You could also say that the USA is doing just that as a democracy, however on paper the USA is not a true democracy and they've managed to paint a huge target on themselves by doing it in a more militaristic way, whereas China is doing it in more of an economic way by making everyone reliant on them for products. If you want your citizens to feel like they have freedom then go democracy, although I'm sure people in China would say that they have freedom too, it just depends on your definition. Though it's not working out that way for us... we elected people into office who then imposed restrictions on people, whether it's "for our own good" or not... i.e. ULEZ, Scotlands hate crime law, smoking bans etc.. I'm going to hit submit now because I feel like I've gone off on a weird tangent 😂

Ages ago I set up a standing order on my current account to pay some cash into a savings account each month on what would be called "pay day". It can never hurt to have some squirreled away for emergencies.

I forgot the obligatory... Your Thoughts? 😂

https://www.levelman.com/where-black-people-fx-shogun Put simply, people are complaining because of the lack of black people in this show about 1600s Japan. A bit of research shows that although there were a small number of black people present in the country at the time, they were very restricted in where they could go and what they could do. In fact there was a black samurai.... one in all of Japanese history, so including more would be inclusivity for the sake of it, rather than representing what actually happened, but then of course people wouldn't have anything to get offended by 🙄

For me it's about not wanting to deal with the inevitable bickering. I was going to post a thread about the new series of Shogun and the debate around it, but then didn't want the hassle that would arise given the nature of the supposed "controversy"

You can get universal adapters on Amazon for under a tenner. It wasn't a super popular piece of hardware, so you may struggle to fond someone with a random spare cable 😉

Something about this doesn't quite add up to me. I live in a tower block and all the windows were pre-installed with a restrictor that only allowed the window to open about a hands width... if you wanted the windows open fully you have to maually remove this restrictor, this is so that it is physically impossible to "acidentally" fall out of a window 🤔

Most annoying one I've had is a recent issue I've got with recurring nerve issues in one foot. Had an initial appointment to see a physiotherapist, then another 4 weeks to be sent for an ultrasound, then another 4 weeks to be called to confirm it is what they think... At this point I mention about wanting some pain relief, I was told I had to call the surgery he was sat in at the time to make an appointment with a GP... Ended the call, phone the reception... another 4 weeks to wait for a GP to call me about something for the pain. So so far I've been waiting 12 weeks with no pain relief apart from regular ibuprofen, which aren't touching it.

I'm willing to part with a little bit more money to get a quiter dining experience personally 👍

It's a Wetherspoons, what do you expect? 😂

You assume that the police actually care? That would mean doing work. Over the past few years I've submitted so many reports to the police with clear evidence in photos and videos and sod all has been done, the scum are still at it.

Ah but is that because of poor health or because the population is a lot higher now than it was back then?
