It shows a lack of reflection ability - do they not think about the impression they give others.

Not considered an appropriate word to use these days - but my view when I hear it is why should I act as verbal policeman - I just consider if I really want to associate with people that speak like that (as my mother would say).

Thanks - So the police know who they are but can't prove it ?

Anyway after 18 months of French on Duolingo I'm sure I can cope with the French Quarter.

But "The Montpelier" :)

Borg was a baseliner and so were others of that era like Connors until that McEnroe appeared on the scene.

then changes to a new tax type thing 2 years hence that pensioners will also pay - and NI reverts

no additional employers - 2.5 in all

I'm doing 30 mins peloton bike a day and now have started doing the strength classes too - I didn't realise what a difference these little (1.5Kg) weights and balance exercises on the floor and standing can do. Still have a couple of cans of Brewdog in the evening but nothing like pre lockdown. Losing weight and toning a bit (I fit into a suit from 10 years ago).

Will the Tories even add the extra 1.25% to the 2% zone You could have 13.25% or 12% all the way or 13.25% then 3.25% But I reckon it'll be 13.25% then 2%

As children we always asked for and got the batter scraps from our local chippy. Forgot until I saw that. You'd have though we were starving :)

The "Cinderella line" group who seem based in Crofton Park said they will lose half their trains from September 6th https://www.acinderellaline.com/single-post/taking-it-back Not sure if any other cuts happening on that date.

I'm sure we can all drink some knock off Carling in Spoons and nobody will really notice much difference.

I don't think we'll be back into the decision making side for a long time. The single market and a better relationship with them maybe sooner.

My SKY is OK - I have 80 down 20 up (FTTC) bandwidth and medium latency (enough to play call of duty). If you only have basic ADSL try a new splitter ? Also run the Sky tests and see if they find anything.

When I was a youngster I loved reading what people had written in second hand books. But that was before social media :)

What happened to the second hand book stores of my youth - they were a treasure trove back then - the local one to me was called "Ralph the Books"

and talking of trade ambassadors - what's Tony Abbott done for us recently.
