Re: Cost of living crisis

Welcome to "No Frills Britain." Surely as a wealthy nation in the 21st century we should be expecting more than this?

Re: ⚽ West Ham Utd vs Brighton & Hove Albion: Match Thread

I reckon if we get rid of the pop up of Pep Guardiola from this website and replace it with something different we might start winning games. I think it is a solid theory. I must remember to wear my lucky underpants next time too.

Re: A place to call home: where next?

I've got a meeting with a Brazilian family that I'm doing at 7pm tonight because of the time difference - and I'm always happy to do it, I just got the hump this weekend after being chased twice at the weekend. That sounds fair enough. I try to be available if we have visitors over from our other o...

Re: A place to call home: where next?

Yeah - the current ****ing seems to be having an impact all the time now. My Head Teacher - who constantly talks about 'live to work' sent me a text on Saturday asking for something that I didn't get to him (I was out with my kids at the time). He sent a follow up at 7am on Sunday morning asking fo...

Re: A place to call home: where next?

I've always been lucky in that I have no family to worry about. I've always been able to go where I wanted. Not worry about my parents or siblings - and as such, it's given me freedom, but not everyone has that. Genuinely though, I've learned that life's too short to spend it somewhere you don't li...

Re: The Johnson Government 2019-202?

They did spend two years battling the biggest health threat to mankind since the plague in the middle ages. Not strictly true. Spanish Flu claimed more lives as did recurrences of the bubonic plague and outbreaks of cholera (though cholera was more localized). AIDS has claimed more lives but over a...

I usually try to stay out of posting on NUMB and I am sure I am going to regret this post but I've seen a few people banging on again about Furlough. For a good many of us it wasn't some jolly. Furlough wasn't designed to give people free money. It was aimed at keeping companies viable during the pe...

Re: Coronavirus

I think the decision to scrap all restrictions was partly based on this: In January 2022, there were 49,807 deaths registered in England, 3304 deaths (6.2%) fewer compared to the previous five-year average (2015 to 2019) for January, there were 3,262 deaths registered in Wales, 265 deaths (7.5%) few...

It's like other things in life. It definitely hasn't got smaller just my hands have got bigger.

DL, As a person who moved away from the south-east I can't but recommend it. Life is definitely slower down here despite Bristol's traffic problems and I have never regretted it.

I will never understand partisan politics. Quite a few people treat political parties like football teams. Once you start supporting one of them you can't switch to another side. It's like my mum once said, "Me and your dad have always done better under a Labour government but I would never vot...

I’ve been struggling with sleep for a few months now. Just don’t know how people do it. I’ve been thinking of setting up a new thread, do you guys think that might help? One caution about exercise. I find it best to do the exercise earlier in the day otherwise I'm so bloody wired by it I can't slee...

Re: The Mental Health Thread - (Help Contacts in First Post).

I had two cats, brother and sister, and the tom cat died when he was 9 years old (cancer). Our lovely, sympathetic vet with her brilliant bedside manner, told us that the girl cat will probably die the same way, and probably soon. Anyway, she is 16 years old now, and we love her to bits. She behaves...
