    I must be getting better at this. I've actually heard of 5 of them this year. It's time they stopped the show.......so I don't get sucked into watching it every year. It's the only reality/talent show I watch thankfully.

    Does being a wife make you celebrity? <diva>

    It'll all be gone in 10-15 years. Online shopping will kill it.

    I wonder if Vardy's wife will tread on her opponents feet to get them sidelined?

    It's not a case of 'if we let it'. It's inevitable mate. People increasingly buy their stuff online. It's snowballing. Don't get me wrong, there will be a niche of people who will go to a shop and buy things, but they will die out, as habits change and shops disappear though their inability to compete. Look at how buying habits have changed these days against, say... 15-20 years ago. For example, nowadays many people have lost the ability to know when food is unsafe to eat, and that is a growing trend, because of a reliance on safety advice labels rather than their common sense learned through their education and experience. It's not too great a stretch to realise that people can and will change their direction when it comes to shopping. Already, Amazon is the 3rd largest retailer in the World. Alibaba, from China, are the 6th, and both are closing in fast on the biggest high street retailer of all, Walmart.

    Environmentally, buying stuff online is actually a good thing too. The bottom line though is it's cheaper. It may do nice things for our city centre too.

    Don't know. I think they can buy certain categories of firearms and they wouldn't be cap-guns.

    Not sure, but I know they can be trusted to bear arms, but not gamble online. My daughter and her hubby vpn back to my house in order to place bets.....

    It was good. Cliché ending though, in fact plenty of clichés throughout.

    Peaky Blinders is back <badger>

    Ask him when the Darkness falls across the land is he midnight hour is close at hand and do creatures crawl in search of blood to terrorise y’all’s neighbourhood. And whosoever shall be found, Without the soul for getting down, Must stand and face the hounds of hell. And rot inside a corpse’s shell

    He'll probably reply by saying that The foulest stench is in the air, the funk of forty thousand years and grizzly ghouls from every tomb are closing in to share your doom. And though you fight to stay alive your body starts to shiver. For no mere mortal can resist the evil of the thriller.

    He'll laugh then.

    Maybe.

    Yes, it's a wait and see moment, so far. But with fingers, toes and anything else that one normally has two of and can be crossed, he's not going to be President any more.

    He’s the only one from outside the area actually. A Scot, no less.
