It's Britain, the date is 20/04/2027 exactly ten years from now.
What state is Britain in? How are BHA getting on? Who is in government? Who are we friendly with across the globe? Has North Korea reduced us to dust? What are your hopes and dreams for the next decade?
Astonish me.
Help request: Are you or anyone you know able to provide a home for Womble? He's a 5 month old Saluki Lurcher that a friend found dumped by the roadside. He's in the care of the RSPCA who can only keep him for 3 days once he's well again, otherwise he will be put down. He is in the Redhill area...
Good to see the Government starting the year as they mean to go on. Appallingly!

I think even the most ardent Apple fan will concede that while they have many advantages (nice design, easy interface uhm, nice design and easy interface) they are very flimsily manafactured, especially the accesories, chargers, headphones etc. Frankly, for top end products at premium prices...
Looks like our prediction that they couldn't hope to run an economy is coming true. As well as the prediction that this pathetic cacophony of racist nobodies is slithering back into obscurity. Good-o.
Excellent prog last night on BBC 2 about the impact British Culture has on the world. Prob on iplayer. Very well made prog.:clap2:
The Beatles
Kings Road
Island Records
Mini's

I like a well cooked plate of grub as much as anyone but it seems these days everyone imagines themselves as a Michelin starred chef. They have to describe the process, trying to impress with the ingredients they e sourced from the limbless albinos of the Himalayas, constantly asking you as you...
I've noticed in the last few years the practise of adults going absolutely bonkers with fancy dress events for Halloween. In fact adults dressing up seems to have got massive of late with cosplay etc.
I don't mind a fancy dress party/pub night but people seem to go to extraordinary lengths to...
The Tory profiteers really are going to sink this country once and for all.

Offences from all parties. Not on IMO.

I want this to be good as I have great memories of watching this as a nipper. Cast is great, Gambon, Toby Jones etc....
Next year I'm going to be doing the trek to Everest base camp and some of the surrounding mountains. Getting excited planning it and there is a mine of info online but has anyone on here done this? There seems to be two likely options, one going as a volunteer, doing the 2 week trek and then...

Seems to be smoke and mirrors again from Cameron? Passing on his dirty work to landlords? It certainly won't work as a deterrent for illegals.
I was thinking about giving this a go but some big reservations.
Not least the people that do it seem to behave as if they are in some kind of cult. They use similar rhetoric to modern churches such as Hillsong and similar mega churches and it is a bit creepy. A couple of chaps and lasses on my...

I'm undecided about RB but this makes many good points.
If you don't wanna watch the vid the key points are:
Owned by Google and Goldman Sachs
Sending their money away
Don't pay taxes locally or in the community
They are now raising fares as they...

I personally think Cameron has more of agenda but Paddy's summary of Cameron's achievements in 70 days is quite the tonic.
Cue the endless "Tory bashing is getting boring...
