Re: Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeit

Secondly, an 'expert' (also on the BBC) claimed that wouldn't happen today as newer bridges are built so that the ground level rises as it approaches the bridge supports, thus effectively 'lifting' boats out of the sea if they get too close. That's interesting. I didn't know that. Ian Dury was spot...

Re: Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeit

Pinks had it right. We will never invent a bridge that would have a chance of withstanding such a weight coming at it.

Re: The Sunak Government 2022-

The absolute state of those Tory ads. What are they thinking? I don't think these demented ads were really aimed at people in Brum or in town. More at the type of people who are perpetually on edge/ scared, to make them believe that if Labour get in then Tunbridge Wells and York will turn into Goth...

Watching it collapse was like something out of Thunderbirds...... It's not just me then. When watching the news with my wife I said to her it looked like a scene out of Thunderbirds - it just looked like a cheap, unbelievable special effect - it was just surreal. God bless those souls who didn't ma...

Re: The Sunak Government 2022-

Is that about where those areas were historically? I take your point Sam, but that wasn't the point of my post which was a response to Juncs mentioning a Conservative mayoral candidate defecting to Reform. I was just showing it wasn't just him defecting but apparently a multitude of Tory voters too...

Re: The Sunak Government 2022-

Dan Barker, the Conservative candidate for Mayor of Greater Manchester, has defected to Reform UK...more northern red-wallers likely to follow? According to the poll the article in yesterday's Times below refers to, red-wallers are now more likely to say they will vote for Reform than the Tories. A...

Re: The Sunak Government 2022-

In 1995, they were informed it was going up to 65 from 60, gradually between 2010 and 2020. I'm absolutely blown away by the entitlement of this group. 25% of children are in absolute poverty and all they care about is that their retirement age changed. Sorry Prob, but you and I have no idea what a...

The law changed in 1995 you should have kept up with the details. It is basically I retired without checking when I'd get the state pension. Benefit scroungers.

The current government can always agree to it then leave it under the carpet for the next government to deal with, :chin: There's a lot of that going on OFT.

Re: Russian invasion of Ukraine

America & Friends have been seeking regime change in Russia for years but Western polls or Western approved polls had Putin's approval rating at around 80% back in 2022 [ it's risen and fallen since 1999 ] so it couldn't have come as much of a surprise to see him romp home when Russians are bei...

Frank McAvennie had been sold to Celtic in October 87 and we were struggling to score goals. Newspaper reports had linked us to Kerry Dixon of Chelsea and Luton Town's Mick Harford but nothing came of it...we ended up signing Leroy Rosenior from Fulham and he promptly scored on his debut ... He hit...

Re: The Sunak Government 2022-

The number of Tories left will be decided by how many Labour voters vote Lib Dem in Tory seats Agreed. It's a big factor Pinks. Tactical voting is shaping up to have a big effect in the next GE. Polling shows that huge amounts of Labour voters would vote Liberal in a Tory seat (I'd do so myself if ...

I should have added that a couple of polls out today make the above look quite good for the Tories. It seems like there has been another shift again in the last week or so.
