The General Conversation Thread

IMO, stupidity in not reading/knowing the tide times - they are clearly displayed!!!!

 

Brilliant -

 

The political equivalent of trying to jettison Naismith! :

 

Ricky van Wolfswinkel suffered a head knock in the game last week vs. LASK and after tests, a brain aneurysm unrelated to the knock he received, was discovered. He will be out of action for several months as he undergoes treatment.

 

So, tax cuts for the top (Tory) earners proposed by Boris Johnson -
while elsewhere, swept under the carpet very conveniently, homeless
families are being housed in metal shipping containers.
The gulf continues to widen ...soon be a yawning chasm.

..and there's me thinking Johnson was a man of the people!

What a bloody mess!

 

Same old,same old.
Lack of affordable council housing,goes all the way back to Tories "right to buy" polcy.
Selling off council housing on the cheap was a Tory scheme to convince "property owners" they now had to vote Tory ,to protect their wealth.
To make matters worth,Thatcher and her cronies then restricted Councils from spending the additional income to build new housing,and was used to prop up the lower grants to Councils from the Govt.
Utter and completely scandalous,but typical Tory

 

DDF has ditched the beard and is wearing glasses!!!

They only eat plankton? Interesting.
Does Liz Truss ever get up to Cromer?

 

That's a bit harsh on plankton

 

When I first saw the link, my initial thoughts were perhaps it was Resurgam getting in some
sneaky practice for the Boxing Day dip that happens each year?

 

Yay!! Local schools go back tomorrow - I can get my charming seaside town back
from the marauding hordes of caravaners, campers and chips-on-the-hoof brigade!

 

Trousers too short - get out of class.
Good job we've nothing more serious than this to worry about in the country today.
Never read anything so demented - plus a lot of parents struggle to afford new school clobber every year and get no help from the government - quite the reverse

Loathsome, slimy, devious b@stard.

 

Alfie Hewett and Andy Lapthorne won two US Open titles apiece, sealing both the singles and doubles crowns in their respective divisions in New York.

Hewett, 21, retained his wheelchair singles title, beating Frenchman Stephane Houdet 7-6 (11-9) 7-6 (7-5) before winning the doubles title with fellow Briton Gordon Reid.

Good old Norfolk boy.
Well done Alfie

 

Rather bizarre Norfolk quiz.
