Well so much for the thread title,

The convenience of idly expressing my views on all subjects on this Forum in virtually complete anonymity and with no redress.

It relieves stress and when the adverts come on,or Liz Truss,I reach for the i pad.

Far too much moaning about the place. Lets talk about the things that make modern life great!

 

First off: its great that I can sit at my desk and book a slot at a museum or other attraction online, without the worry of taking a day off and then getting there and finding its a 4 hour queue to get in.

Anyone who thinks going to a museum (or doing anything else) "virtually" is as good as doing it in real life, is either exceptionally sad, or they are trolling. I suspect the latter.

Eh? Think you need to read that again.

 

So queuing for 4 hours is better than booking a guaranteed slot online before you get there in person? Think before you answer.

That's probably a good idea, Mr Risen!

Could you give me a shout when this thread has sorted itself out?

Vaccines and  medical treatments that prevent death, harm and improve quality of life.

Science and technology

Education

Benefit system

Some of that makes people lazy and fat, or should I say obese.

More and more people have type two diabetes, but the good old NHS saves us.

In these enlightened times, men are able to wear a dress and read stories to children in libraries.  Fantastic.
