As I got older I get more central left not right wing.
I've teamed up with the hippies now
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face
Views are not my own, they belong to everyone

"Celsius 233: the temperature at which book paper burns." The 1955 Danish translation, with title converted to centigrade, represents one of the first foreign language editions of Fahrenbeit 451. All other Latin alphabet foreign language editions have been published with the original title restored

It's going to be interesting to see how correct this is.
Private Eye doing an excellent job of predicting the forthcoming budget headlines in each paper… showing just how ridiculous they can all be.

‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’
It was originally ‘ekename.’
‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.”
Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it.
Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

So much bollox on the media atm, all about you know who,
4 days ago it was "WHO?"
While I agree it's people that kill people I would like to add
It`s very hard to kill someone from 400 yards way with a knife.
That country is very looney and getting worst by the day.

I miss the British small hot, smoky, blasting the doors off concert halls /pubs
I no longer live in the UK but my feeling is they are not so common anymore.
And yes I know this is not the UK but the feel is the same.

I have always though that flag waving was not very "British"
The only time was for national celebrations i.e. jubilees and national days.
Then to be taken down quickly the next day as it's all a bit Embarrassing.
Which is now what I feel when I see the fat moronic gammons.
