John Bolton is the latest of the Donald's ex-employees to be slagged off as a lying criminal idiot. How did TD put up with these people in the first place? Bad judgment on his part? (I don't have a...
Did you ever appear in court, as a police officer, to give evidence in a murder trial? I'm working on a novel and am writing a trial scene. I'd be interested in first hand insight to procedure....
I was watching the MSM this evening and didn't like what I saw of the anti BLMB. They seemed to be drinking alcoholic beverages from cans and being impolite to the Plods. Their language and accents...
Has anyone got a favourite national anthem? Preferably a favourite based on musical or literary merit rather than nationalistic ideas. My favourite is the Marseillaise; like a Roy Orbison song, the...
I see that the DM are attacking Cummings. The right-wing ABers here will have to move a bit more alt-right to get their news from now on. If your source doesn't fit with your views, then look for...
I'm thinking about the idea that BAME people have a higher incidence of CV than the rest of the population, and I suspect that some ABers have their own theories about that. If the situation was that...

Do these stir any memories?...
Mam used to mend torn clothes with a product which was a sort of cloth with an adhesive side. She would cut off a bit that was big enough to cover the tear and then press it with a hot iron so that it...
I today found it difficult to locate the latest Azed 2494 threads. If it becomes standard to title the OP Azed xxxx (i.e. a space between Azed and the number) then it would overcome this problem. I'll...
New Lidl opens tomorrow at 7 am here in Twickenham. People already arrived to camp out in the car park. I'm not surprised, but very sad at the shameless selfishness of some people. We are in an...
Manual clippers with wooden handles that slip over the metal tangs on the blades, and are supposed to stay on but have recently both become detached. Is there some sort of compound I could shove into...
Ms Thunberg reminds me of Joan of Arc. A young child speaking wisdom to a king. Of course the king's courtiers and lackeys tell the king to ignore this impudent upstart.
I need to replace a brenton bolt (the sort that lets you use a padlock to stop the slider bolt from sliding). The body of my bolt is approx 180mm long. Bolts found online are sized as 150mm, 180mm...
