What Have They Done To TOBLERONE !!!!
El Loro Fluffy, sounds like bureaucratic nonsense [ more ]
Extremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing Not particularly aware of any significant changes in 2017, but the major update a few months ago is/was horrific. I ended up having to make a new account after filling in THREE pages of information about my (now old)account, just to be told I hadn't given enough info! [ more ]
El Loro @Extremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing , following a lot of criticism, Microsoft will remove some of the features they introduced last year: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-45395834 [ more ]

How to split a quoted reply
Extremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing Lucky you! I got no info directly from them. It just stopped working in the normal fashion. I then had to go and dig out stuff for myself to find out what was going on.......and eventually find the necessary info to sort it out. [ more ]
El Loro BBC changed its privacy and cookies policy 4 days ago - I had an email from them about this which is when I changed my settings. Link to their revised policy statement: http://www.bbc.co.uk/usingthebbc/privacy-policy/ [ more ]
Eugene's Lair El Loro posted: You may want to keep an eye on those settings... I turned off personalisation, plus all the cookies they allow me to, a couple of weeks ago. However I just took a look at my settings after reading this thread, and they'd all been turned back on... [ more ]

UKIP's new leader!
Garage Joe We knew Dr Nuttal to be some type of misogynist religious fanatic who used to play for Tranmere Rovers. But someone has altered his wiki page and he remains only a misogynist religious fanatic. [ more ]
Garage Joe I'm not totally convinced that my own party is going to reject Brexit out of hand. [ more ]
Carnelian Yes, so true, but the Yellow Tories are still not to be trusted. Vote for them and they might go into coalition with the Tories and proclaim "we realised Brexit made economic sense all along [ more ]

Rillington Place?
Eugene's Lair As others have said, Richard Attenborough (along with John Hurt, who got a BAFTA nomination), was always going to be a tough act to follow. I thought Roth and Morton were very good (she was also one of the best things in the recent "Fantastic Beasts", with a rather dark role in that too), but at the end of the day it's still a deeply depressing telling of a deeply unpleasant story. I suspect that the next episode - which concentrates on Timothy Evans - will be rather difficult to watch... [ more ]
Garage Joe Crock. [ more ]
Kaffs I've got it recorded, but from what I've seen on Twitter Tim Roth and Samantha Morton were brilliant. I love Tim Roth, so I'm looking forward to it. [ more ]

Enthusiastic Contrafibularities I only need an indoor cleaner as I live in a Penthouse apartment But I will see how this fares and if it lives up to it's billing and performs how I expect, then I can see me buying more products in the future. I've purposely not cleaned my toilet for 3 years to see how good this cleaner works. [ more ]

The Science of Everyday Living (Funny)
Saint Made me laugh and is a bit like HHGTTG [ more ]
Enthusiastic Contrafibularities To be honest I have been full of cold so my extended stay in bed was more necessity than want No gigs lined up at the moment. I would have seen the League on Dec 4th but I don't like big arenas much prefer the smller venue. I did catch a bit of them and its about promoting thier new acoustic album, which I will buy when it inevitably hits the 2 for £15 section in HMV. [ more ]

Black Friday
Enthusiastic Contrafibularities As you all probably know by now I am a big buyer of music and film. Just starting to see the deals come trickling through for items I have had my eyes on and some surprises I have not. Ideally I get some bargains but not too many as the bank balance takes a bit of a hit. [ more ]

Poppy debacle
El Loro The Welsh and Northern Ireland FAs are also to be investigated by FIFA due to fans wearing poppies. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38077727 I always thought that wearing poppies was showing respect to those who died or wounded in the services. Clearly FIFA has no concept of respect though apparently players and managers are expected to show respect to referees. [ more ]

Leonard Cohen has died
Kaytee Leonard Cohen has always been one of my favourite artists....exceptional in every way RIP Leonard you will be missed [ more ]
Garage Joe I've done this material before, however I remember going to parties in the very early seventies, the sort where modern middle class Mums would put matresses about the house and leave their kids to it. The arty girls wished to listen to Laughing Len whilst the rest of us wanted to listen to PF, LZ, FZ and JT. One cold December night one of the arty girls insisted I walk her back to her parent's farm, an incident which I now know led to me contracting glandular fever. After that we would hide... [ more ]

Hello. A tinie tiny self pity post involving family and the election.
pirate1111 oh well...at least donald has finally met theresa [ more ]
Lori And THIS is why I rarely discuss politics with family... Rawky, I don't know if you've heard yet, but we are all expecting to move in with you. [ more ]
Amythist Rawks...it's difficult, the Election and Brexit have caused a divide between people ,all those who feel scared, betrayed and unrepresented need time to heal and adjust, but we mustn't let hatred divide us as well as ideology. Have time away from social media and enjoy the beauty of Canada, you sound like you are really enjoying it [ more ]

State pension triple-lock should be scrapped, say MPs
Dame_Ann_Average Don't even get me started...1) what they did to women born in the fifties was illegal. 2 ) they have put the years up in stamps to 35, so anyone taking a break to have children are up sh*ts creek without a paddle and they have stopped being able to claim on your husbands NI payments to cover those years. 3) they have no conscience, I advise everyone to watch I, Daniel Blake...it's factual, researched to high heaven and based on true stories and this happens everyday to many thousands of...

Enthusiastic Contrafibularities I love a good firework display. I was at a family do last night. But like Xmas fireworks should be confined to a small window in the year. When I have to rise for work at 5:15 Monday morning, I certainly don't want to have been kept awake until 12:00 by people just letting them off for sh*ts and giggles. [ more ]

Enthusiastic Contrafibularities Not to put down Eugene's post (all contributions welcome) but I think some of the forum postee efforts are better than PE. [ more ]
