Getting the facts straight, for example: no one was murdered.

I'm not. I have no opinion on Biggs one way or the other. My only interest is in the government's reaction to the events.

Have you had a sense of humour bypass? It's a joke.

Something else I personally find a little incongruous.


Three British soldiers die in AFG and we have a thread about a person whose contribution to his country is entirely negative.


Go figure!

Eddie and Charlie Richardson....


Battered their own lieutenant Scotch Jock Kerr to pieces with a whole set of golf clubs one by one , then realised they had the wrong man once they'd hospitalised him

So, oh yeah they really looked after their own......


Oh & he remained loyal 'till the day he died last year.

The Home Secretary has not executed a U turn. He was right to refuse parole as, apparently, Biggs at no point expressed any remorse. Equally he was later correct in releasing the chronically sick 80 year old on compassionate grounds. Politics do not enter into it, and the case has little in common with the Lockerbie (supposed) bomber.

Jah, yes I have.


It was bloody painful and I still have the scars.








(I was drunk and missed the subtle nuances of your post.)

And if you had done something extra special, I hear the Richardsons would buy you a new shirt.

Diamonds they was.

      Cat Flap

      By oglander · Posted

      I'm just about to adopt a new cat & they now have to be kept in at night. Technology really isn't my thing so is there anyone out there who would be happy to go through the instructions for a new cat flap with a timer & explain to me, in simple words, how it works? Maybe someone who already has one?

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      By beansprout · Posted

      Wow, well served with local supermarkets then…  Agree with ATM.. good c position to been mugged or cloned card - prob why not been considered before. Wasn’t there one outside post office and still  is2where people were abit nervous of using? Hope I am wrong but won’t see me rushing to use it…sure lots of folk will benefit thou. Not a great fan or user of Iceland but when it closed years ago people complained..  Guess they only b look at bigger sites - can’t recall an express one but a pity to those who frequent the store. Strange that Tesco can use it as local but Iceland can’t - guess it is  power of large supermarkets. Personally would have  loved an Aldi or Lidl but  clearly site to small. Only grocery stores left to come are Waitrose, Aldi, Lidl…

      Looking for good wifi suggestions please!

      I'm paying £31 pcm for full fibre 300, whatever that is. I'm not sure it's a particularly good deal now, but I did a comparison at the time I went onto it, and it was then. I don't have a landline any more, and my mobile is with iD, who piggyback off 3. I don't usually have any problems,  except once a few years back when the whole 3  network (?) went  down for quite a long time.
