I think SJ means it's just another conduit for the human voice. Plenty crap from people in papers, on radio talk shows, on the telly too. But the problem with the web is that it has become a kind of dumping ground of information that's now hard to erase and which can be googled for years to come (good or bad) and secondly it's a medium that can hit millions across the globe instantly making it hard to control (again good or bad). It's potential to damage an individuals or businesses reputation overnight scares me. Freedom of speech is one thing but it surely needs at least *some* controls.

Have to say that does sound pretty freaky.

I don't normally side with Tory multi-millionaire businessmen, but I hope Lord McAlpine successfully sues the arses off all those Twits, starting off with Alan Davies...

I got caught in the Cotswolds as a tropical style thunderstorm descended on the area. That was pretty ball-sac reducing I can tell ya.


In my late twenties, burning the candle at both ends and with a stressful job, I used to suffer occasionally from sleep paralysis. Stuck helpless at the mercy of your own psyche, now that's scary!!

I'm increasingly lucid when I dream - particularly in the mornings.


So I know I'm dreaming, and that the situations I'm in are being generated by my own diseased imagination.


Like a spectator in a Hieronymous Bosch landscape, I'm quite frankly scared of the thoughts that cross my mind when asleep compared with the rose tinted spectacles I wear when awake.

This is what happens when you give up the 'mellow' woodbines - that stuff takes ages to leave the system.

Bosch and double-Bosch! His painting are equisite, but I daren't call you lucky. (is daren't even a word?)

Dont know about scared, but am mightily pissed off that the Tories are back in government. 10 years to deal with Stephen Lawrence, and it wasn't easy. All we got was Macpherson and then the 2010 Equality Act which placed a duty on public bodies to have due regard on the impact of policies on disadvantaged groups in reaching a decision. Affirmative Action it is not. Dave gets on tv yesterday and calls equal opportunity 'red tape', which is holding up government. I have to hold my breath again and wait for these bastards to get voted out. The Lib Dems are going to loose a whole generation of voters for this charade.


Scared? Yeas, we walk on the same planet and share the same planet but these dinosaurs cant wait to dismantle the things which are supposed to represent the values of our community in favour of filthy lucre.

Crazy or not it's part of at least one Great American Novel - thar she blows...


"I should like to see him try it; I'd give him such a pair of black eyes that he wouldn't dare to show his face in the admiral's cabin again for a long while, let alone down in the orlop there, where he lives, and hereabouts on the upper decks where he sneaks so much. Damn the devil, Flask; so you suppose I'm afraid of the devil? Who's afraid of him, except the old governor who daresn't catch him and put him in double-darbies, as he deserves, but lets him go about kidnapping people; aye, and signed a bond with him, that all the people the devil kidnapped, he'd roast for him? There's a governor!"

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
    • We can't use our kitchen for a while and so looking for an air fryer to plug the gap. Please let me know if you have a good one in working order.  07702 305 310 Thanks
