Ha yep...I think when that happens, everyone expects that the real number is going to be a bit higher.....but 'double'?...either its taking the michale, or he's perhaps quietly trying to say he doesnt want the job!!

I dont want to speak for spartacus...but to be fair Alan...the title of this thread suggests he doesn't really need a reason:)


Lets keep this as a safe space for us grumpy old pr!cks, opinionated so-and-so's and general whingers.....

Ah because I was challenged about it ...


Don't challenge and I won't rationalise 🤔

Fahrenheit. Never got it. I've only heard it once in recent years when Attenborough used it on one of his programmes, obviously for the backward Americans. Not just Fahrenheit, all those stupid imperial units. Should have gone whole hog in the 70s when we started to enter the modern world. Deport all the metric martyrs to the States.

Multi millionaires bleating from California about how tough their life was

Trying living in a tower block, 3 kids, two bedrooms, lift broken. Zero hours contract, lose your pay if someone's ill. Chronic illnesses. loneliness And so and so on. Some of us might think that this is tough. I've been tipped from indifference to disgust

No. I often wait for a gap in the traffic if not in a hurry. I prefer that to causing both unnecessary inconvenience to a string of drivers and the increased fuel use and pollution.

Whenever any incident occurs in almost any place, there?s always someone quoted by the media as saying ?ooh, nothing like this ever happened here before? as if their observation has any meaning or relevance.


Now THAT winds me up.


i.e. ? Neighbour Mavis Wakeford, 79, added: "I've lived here all my life and nothing like this has ever happened before."

    • This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect.  David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉  It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon  
    • That was one that the BBC seem to have lost track of.  But they do still have quite a few. These are some in their 60s archive. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0028zp6
