    [Music] Mike Peters - RIP

    Im gutted. Playing declaration as I type. Met him a couple of times, really nice bloke. So sad, he fought that awful disease for 30 odd years.

    Squeeze - formed in 1974. Still going strong

    [Politics] Brexit

    I agree with you - word for word. Except that when you speak to Labour MPs or their associates you get the same view. I get manifesto commitments, but as Reeves keep telling us - the world has changed, never more so than this year. Brexiteers bang on about the UK regaining its sovereignty, but...

    [TV] Adolescence - Netflix 4 part drama written by and starring Stephen Graham

    Outstanding. The acting truly exceptional. It truly is sad. Knife crime destroys everyone around it. The victim, the victims families, friends. But also the perpetrator, their family. It should be shown in schools. I understand completely that girls need to have the same opportunities as...

    [Politics] Donald Trump, US President

    The amount of Civil Service work that must have gone into that visit. War gaming, murder boards, briefing on every conceivable question and scenario. It would have been full of nervous anticipation. Im sure that Starmer, Lammy, Mandelson all had a huge sigh of relief, but Number 10 and Foreign...

    [Politics] Donald Trump, US President

    The missiles are bought from US - same production line as theirs. Maintained by US. The Warheads though are designed and manufactured at the Atomic Weapons Establishment in Aldermaston.

    What's the hurtiest spot, you've ever had.

    Gallstone blockage was unreal whilst visiting LasVegas. Just come on and needed emergency removal of gallbladder. One night stay in hospital and I continued my holiday.

    [Albion] Leeds United - away

    I live in Leeds. Think its a bit longer than 20 mins from train station - more like 40 mins and its a horrible walk along very busy A roads Never got shuttle - I always drive. Perhaps get a taxi?

    [Help] Do you get the shits?

    I suffered from Ulcerative colitis for years - until surgery (complete with reworked inner pouch) saved me from illness, constant trips to the loo and a bag One big shout - if you do have changes to your bowel habits, loose, constipation, blood, please see a Dr ASAP. More likley a bug or...

    [Albion] De Zerbi

    I live opposite Leeds training ground and can categorically say no line existed. Bielsa was a lovely chap, always willing to talk to local people, sitting in costa coffee with his notes on the opposition. I nearly ran him down when he walked infront of my car. I would have had to go into...

    [Misc] Gallbladder surgery

    I went to Spring Valley Hospital, Las Vegas. To be honest I thought the level of care was good. Although I did wonder what looked like coat hooks were behind seating areas - until I released they were to hold morphine drips I had tremendous pain and felt terribly ill on the Tuesday morning. At...

    [Finance] Any DHS / accountants on here who can answer a quick question

    I dont work for DWP, but I think JSA is time limited to 26 weeks I doubt you can claim retrospectively, but worth a try. Nothing ventured, nothing gained Unsure why you have been deducted £700 for something you havent claimed - besides JSA is not means tested.

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    Putin and his cronies all say that Russia will only use nuclear weapons if the existence of Russia is under threat. Would this also include territories that Russia has taken, using sham referendums to bring those territories as Russia itself. So, if Ukraine tries to take those territories...
