I think a lot of kids assume that Mum and Dad are a permanent fixture and always there, then all of a sudden, they aren't. SWMBO had a minor stroke just over a week ago and that made them sit up. Luckily she got away quite lightly but has weakness on her left side which seems to be slowly improving. Early days though. Welcome back Dave, hope things go well for you.

« on: 23 November 2025, 15:47:36 »I think our Lord should get rid of that dirty old boiler, replace it with an Air Source Heat Pump and save the planet!With his vast tract of land in rural Lincolnshire, i would think that a ground source heat pump would be more fitting.

« on: 22 November 2025, 14:13:26 »More of a pissgive i reckonThere were rumours going round a few years ago that Russia's FSB (KGB) had caught Donald Trump with a 'honey trap' with a hooker in a Moscow hotel when he was there on business before he got into politics..
The story went that when the intelligence agents went into the room the hooker was giving him a 'golden shower'.
Doesn't seem unlikely to be fair.
Pisstake...😄

« on: 22 November 2025, 14:11:41 »That's quite a low bar to be fair.But for all his faults, did he ever commit treason?Should restore the death penalty for high treason.
Could hang him then.
Blair repealed that so we couldn't hang him.
Misplace loyalties, yes. Gullible, yes. Treason though?
Lets face it, he's probably the best Labour PM we've had this millennium

The nearest i've got to Brum was a bus ride to watch a FA Cup semi final at Villa Park in 1976. Christ it was bloody freezing. Snowed in on the M6 on the way home.

« on: 12 November 2025, 00:58:36 »Will be phoning my accountant first thing tomorrow.I thought it was still a million million here.Us and UK billions are the sameOne Billion.
Not sure if that is $ or £.
Is that an American billion or a British billion?
As to the currency, well it won't make much difference before long....
Us as in the 'Royal We'?
You are of course correct that an American billion is the same as a British billion, but it wasn't always the case.
A British billion was a million million and an American billion was a thousand million. Britain started using the American version in the 1970's I believe.
I'm far too young to remember this of course.Obviously didn't get the memo.
Sorry to hear that all your billions aren't worth as much as you thought Ron.
