I was disappointed by this as I misread it as buying boobtube views. Oh well must get to the opticians when I can find it

I actually feel sick when I see the gluttony adverts for processed Christmas food After all this isn't any old Christmas food, this is diabetes inducing unhealthy fat , sugar and salt filled Christmas food.

Devil and the deep blue sea either way Guess it has to be which ever party has the chance of actually delivering as its potentially another hung parliament (or maybe we should just hang parliament !😂)

Tin of spam, soggy sprouts, rock hard potatoes and mouldy Christmas pudding for me ! Sounds better than turkey 😱

Dulwichfox Reading your posts I've concluded you are German as you take everything literally and respond the same with very little humour. (Note despite conceptions, not all Germans are humourless !)

Have you ever run a tool like Norton utilities on your laptop to free up space from deleted files, optimise your registry and compress files on your hard drive ? It may not help but good housekeeping regardless

I thought he was in a face off competition with Jezza for the role of father Christmas so I'm ignoring both of them...

Tis the season to be jolly well coerced into spending Question : do Christmas adverts make you want to shop with the advertiser or do they leave you frosty the snowman cold ? The one that is driving me not to use them is for a delivery company beginning with A and a smile logo. The whole advert (and the company) annoys me enough not to use them. Bah Humbug

It's almost as if labour DON'T want to win the election with their manifesto and policies After all it took them long enough to agree to one 🤓

Poor person I give 50p via whatever method is opted for I think I felt them drive past earlier when I was in the back of my house

I'm not anti anything I just believe whole hearty that the policies of the labour party at this point in time, will bankrupt the country, drive entrepreneurs and higher rate tax payers to safe heavens and destroy jobs in the private sector as a result of nationalisation and companies that move away as the tax breaks abroad will be better for them However from your posts you clearly show a bias of pro labour. Sadly I can't support this incompetence shown by jezza and his policies that ultimately won't deliver anything good for the ordinary person (IMHO)

More madness from labour Privatising BT openreach to provide free broadband to all. Cost is projected to be between 20 and 40 billion and maintenance funded by tax on tech giants (the 40 billion figure is what the BT chief Executive estimated it will really cost) Great for end users but will kill off other Telecom companies resulting in mass job losses and damage to the economy Where will all this money JC is proposing to spend come from ? And what will the cost to repay it be ? Scary numbers yet again from Labour

That was a factor, however labour had such high spending before hand that they didn't have the reserves necessary to bail themselves out Austerity was needed to cover the debt the government was in, not the private sector and banks Partially caused by propping up a bank that should have failed I admit but the money that should have been used as a reserve was spent on other things so when push came to shove we had a bankrupt government in power

cella Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > > What is terrifying you about the Labour Party manifesto? For me it's everything , the projected spending alone sends a shiver down my spine remembering last time labour were in power and how they broke the economy resulting in austerity measures being required to fix it Years ago there was a brain drain caused by taxing the rich (another labour policy at the time) which caused scientists and Entrepreneurs to leave the UK or shutting up shop rather than leveling the playing field for all, result was a race to the bottom and not equality for all. The other danger is that labour also want unions to rise up again and dictate working hours, if you lived through the 70s you would have seen how they destroyed industry (we used to have a thriving car manufacturing sector before unions broke it and other industries with strikes and 3 day weeks ) The current labour manifesto seems to be spend spend spend and cherry picking the worst possible policies from the past IMHO Sadly, whilst choices are limited and not good either way, labour is the worst of two evils here if you ask me.

It's made me lose my sense of hummus 😄

The best tasting chips IMHO are cooked in beef dripping and because its boiling point is higher than vegetable oil it expels all water from the chip and seals the outside so the fat doesn't get in, where as vegetable oil doesn't seal the outside so quickly and the oil gets absorbed back into the chip. (Read Fat by Jennifer McLuhan for more fascinating facts of this ilk ) Now if you find me a chip shop that cooks in beef dripping (sorry vegans) then I would be a happy person !

Giving in to the concept of this thread for a moment A momentary lapse Can Christmas Adverts before Dec 5th be banned Saw one tonight and it's not even bonfire night (that's tomorrow)

As the book was published in 1949 and predicted the future it is placed in the class of books known as Science Fiction 😎
