Well actually yes to that question in my case!

Oh I do hope so. I'm rather in awe of Jah's technical piccy fiddling abilities too. I can't even take a photo on my phone without *rsing it up!

So they have banned it and drawn more attention to it as a result! Well, I reckon we can expect more 'news' like this before May arrives from all sides of the political spectrum.


And I am by no means a fan of Cameron, Osbourne et al..but aren't there more Etonians/public school-educated politicians in the current Cabinet/Labour party than the Conservatives(?) :-S


(Edited: to mean public school, as in privately-educated).

Yeah I know. I work with a few of you. And while the nepotism can sometimes be irksome at least military old boys networks 1) unusually contain individuals who actually see themselves as part of society and not a set apart ruling class and 2) They normally don?t have the intention or power to manipulate the work and money I invest in the country that I live in to their own personal gain.

Hmmm, the earliest online reference I can find is 2003 from a chap who had the temerity to use it to describe his own aphorisms. Pride before a fall eh?


Since this fair forum started only October 06 it seems that claim too just eludes me.


I just made up a word, 'spunt', but some other blighter's already copyrighted that too. Cockbonnet? No, that's gone too...

    • "One of the most disturbing features of the Gaza genocide has been Israel’s attempts to prevent the truth from emerging to the world. But Palestinian journalists, writers and filmmakers are resisting these attempts, against incredible odds.  [PSC] are supporting the release of a major new film - “From Ground Zero: Stories From Gaza” - in cinemas across the UK from September 12. It features the extraordinary work of 22 Palestinian filmmakers living through the unimaginable reality of the genocide.  Please support this film in your local cinema. There are 84 screenings already scheduled and more are being added. Click the link below to find your local screening.  “From Ground Zero” is a collection of short films ranging in length from 3 to 6 minutes using a mix of genres including fiction, documentary, docu-fiction, animation and experimental cinema. They capture some of the diverse experiences of life in Gaza from the perspectives of Palestinian artists. Above all, the films demonstrate the steadfastness of the people, their shining humanity in the face of tragedy and persecution, and their ability to maintain hope for freedom and justice. We cannot allow Palestinian voices from Gaza be silenced or go unheard.  On Friday 12 September at 7.15pm, the London premiere will be hosted at Genesis Cinema in Whitechapel, including a Q&A with Director Rashid Masharawi and PSC Director Ben Jamal. Book your ticket at the link below. https://www.genesiscinema.co.uk/event/100618 “From Ground Zero” was taken off the lineup of the 2024 Cannes Film Festival on political grounds after initially being accepted. But as this film release shows, the voice of Palestinians cannot be so easily silenced. The film itself will help strengthen Palestinian voices as all proceeds from the film go to the Masharawi Fund for films and filmmakers in Gaza. We too will never be silenced in our solidarity, campaigning and uncompromising demands for freedom and justice for Palestine."  Direct link to information about film, trailer, and UK screenings link: https://www.cosmiccatfilms.com/from-ground-zero  
    • British Heart Foundation on the OKR will pick it up from you
    • I'm sure they don't chop down trees just to get to use the chainsaws 🤣 I doubt the people making the decision to chop are the same people wielding the saws, but I might be wrong. Trees are normally only cut down if they are diseased or potentially dangerous, or both. Or if they are in the way of something, of course 😭
    • It sounds very much as though they like using the chainsaws too much
