A world leader? Hmmm, I wonder who that might be.😂

All of them!

Oh dear. I'm guilty of being one of those"....idiots" that posted irrelevant comments on this forum in the recent past. Nevertheless, notwithstanding useless comments, there was no offence intended and I personally will certainly desist from posting thoughtless uselessness. However I have noticed that there are people here who seem to 'be in the club' that can say whatever they like whether it's relevant or not and receive no backlash. But it's all great fun and highly amusing.😂

We're all guilty John but I wouldn't say you're a serial offender.

Ah ...thanks for that.👍🏻

 

[JDl]

All of them!

All of them. I would certainly agree with that. And there's a few I could single out for a real dose of the worst insults I could think of. I won't do it here. I just rant about them in the privacy of my home ha ha.

Rest assured, nobody here can say what they like without backlash John.
I speak from experience - banned for saying something.....that many people agreed with 🤔.

Users of WhatsApp may have seen a picture of a pile of washing-up that hasn't been done.
The caption points out that it's a tragic consequence of the women's world cup.
A businessman local to me has come under fire for forwarding sexist sentiments, with calls to boycott his funfair business.
Too many people now are waiting to be offended.

Using brain scans, they're just beginning to see what people are thinking - God help us all with that.

Yes, I've noticed that as progressivism progresses, there are certain kinds of people, usually the ones who make the most noise, who are constantly on the lookout for reasons to be offended and outraged. If one is in the firing line of their rancour, it's usually accompanied with a barrage of prejudgements of imaginary phobias and discriminations .This type of thing usually says far more about the accuser than the accusee. A sign of the times?

Idiots who drive past a Road Closed sign, especially when that sign has a notice next to it, detailing the dates and, still think they will be able to get through, on a road about 8 feet wide...

Are they really stupid enough to believe, that maybe the closure doesn't apply to them?

The number of people I find myself following whilst driving, who crawl along at about 40mph on a derestricted road, then they come into a 30 limit and speed up to 45 or so. That annoys me. 👎🏻

Decades ago, when I was in my 20s, had a slow cheap car and, wanted to drive everywhere like my hair was on fire. People with much quicker cars than me, driving very slowly on twisty stretches, then putting their foot down on the straights, so I had no hope of getting past. Very frustrating for a young man in a hurry...

No cable thread, what will we do?😱

Live a normal stress free life?

Erm, let's talk about cables again.......maybe not. I'm guessing you'll manage without more cable talk.

Blind people oughtn't drive.😂

Also from our village, an original FIAT 500

My twin brother had a red one of these. When he wasn't looking I used to fill it with people ( 5 or even 6) and go to the pub.
Back in the days when you could do things like that.

When we eventually get the figures, I expect to see that Heinz sales have fallen off of a massive cliff - especially their beans and soups.
I find Lidl's Newgate beans to be perfectly ok - despite the massive price rise from £1.09 to £1.69 for a 4 pack....still good value when compared to the ultra-ripoff merchants.

Heinz baked beans have far too much sugar in them, the consequence of which is that to my taste they're ridiculously sweet. I can't eat them.

They do low sugar ones, as does Sainsbury's. Actually prefer the latter, which are cheaper too.

There's a good reason for that!
