The General Conversation Thread

It's still camping, posh totty will stay at a posh hotel rather than slumming it in a slightly posher tent. Though they might do it at a festival to try and avoid all the unwashed oiks.

Bah!

 

You can not be serious??

 

Anyone remember the Sunday roast deal at the old Boswells restaurant in Tombland? You had one trip to the buffet so most plates came away looking like that skip

 

It's an art form too, stacking plates like that. For a start, arrange the slices of meat (assuming you eat meat) around the edge of the plate in a fan shape - thus increasing the plate size by circa 20% and enabling more yummy brussels sprouts and roast parsnips to be loaded on!

 

I used to go as a boy and they had a Mr Whippy machine with unlimited height too, Used the Cromer fan method with meringues .

 

You never went as a girl DD?

Looks like someone is fed up with their Ikea furniture.

£61m to repair a frickin' clock / clock tower?
Gimme strength

They should just modernise and put 4 big screens with digital clocks on sponsored by Seiko.
Call it the Seiko tower and Casio could bid when the current sponsorship deal ends.

Do the same with Buckingham Palace it could be called the KFC palace and the queen could do a photo shoot holding a drumstick and a bucket of chicken.

 

This is totally horrendous. As a semi-autonomous part of Spain, surely these people are entitled to a vote / say on the matter? This is as bad as many thing s witnessed during the Franco era.
Please Espana, don't go back to those days!

Absolutely shocking scenes of police brutality. No place for that in today's world

 

The government tried to block the election from going ahead, hence empowering the Guardia Civil to
blunder in and try everything they could, from trashing polling stations to cutting old ladies on the forehead and leaving them streaming with blood!!

And still they will all want the right to bear arms! Lunacy to allow pretty much anyone to legally buy guns.

Bah!

 

Can't verify whether this is true...but hey, it's the U S of A we're talking

 

Do you need to apply for a milk licence?
