  1. Our Alexa started reciting poetry to an occupied but quiet room. Nobody was talking, as I was reading and Mrs Salt and Vinegar was doing emails. "Summer's day" my @rse.
  2. Asset rich, cash poor? The git should thank his lucky stars that he doesn't have to pay Council Tax in Edinburgh. Big houses, nae dosh. (Fekkin autocorrect tried to change the last two words to "name dish".)
  3. UTTER PISH. (No, not as an accompaniment to chips.) For me, salt and vinegar every time.
  4. Naughty Jacob and his pals up to no good again... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-68596973 "Five episodes of GB News programmes hosted by serving Tory MPs have been found to have broken broadcasting rules by media regulator Ofcom. They include two episodes of Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg's State of the Nation, and three of shows fronted by married MPs Esther McVey and Philip Davies." Rules, eh?
  5. Further to that, arranging to meet pals in a really busy pub and when you walk in a pal is already being served, meaning you have no waiting time for that glorious first pint. (Extra points if the dude is an absolute star and is getting a double round in.)
  6. Regardless of the circumstances, I find nothing reassuring about seeing a political leader demonstrating a belief in the supernatural. I've seen photos of Donald Trump holding a Bible. That should really tell us everything we need to know. Wee quote from Sam Harris -"George Bush says he speaks to god every day, and christians love him for it. If George Bush said he spoke to god through his hair dryer, they would think he was mad. I fail to see how the addition of a hair dryer makes it any more absurd.”
  7. Folk seem to be getting quite excited about this. We have an en-suite for our bedroom, a bog/shower room for our laddie/visitors and a downstairs bog. I'm hardly Jacob Rees-Mogg!
  8. These are the kinds of issues that fascinated me. (Sad, or what?) If a belief system can become an ethnicity, a "race" etc, what about those with a strongly held "belief" in UFOs as evidence of extra-terrestrial beings, or the Loch Ness Monster or a flat Earth? What race or ethnicity are they? Some football fans seem to treat support for their club as a matter of more importance to them than many treat a traditional religion. They gather in the same places as their fellow adherents; many feel uncomfortable in the presence of folk not in their group; they sing songs in praise of their particular version of a deity; they defend their deity against criticism from outside the group and will ostracise critics from within the group. A belief system is an opinion. I don't have a religious belief. Am I of a different race or ethnicity from my pal who is religious? If we really get to the stage where there are certain opinions that cannot be discussed, we are in bigger trouble than we think. That way lies blasphemy trials, accusations of witchcraft and other superstitious nonsense. (Yes, other opinions are available...)
  9. Pity it wasn't a triple. (Cue joke no 245....) Then she could be f'd right, left and centre. I'll get my coat...
  10. Can someone confirm that there's no sign of a comeback by Sarah Palin? I can only stand so much incoherence; some of her contributions were truly awful.
  11. Not really taking part in this debate... but you can always rely on P&B to provide updates on insults... where TF did "cabbage-toed cretin" come from?
  12. "Starship"? "Starship"? In what sense is this thing a "Starship"? Which "star" is it planned to visit? Are they going to crash it into the sun?
  13. Dunno why, but a quote from astronaut John Glenn came to mind... "I felt exactly how you would feel if you were getting ready to launch and knew you were sitting on top of 2 million parts — all built by the lowest bidder on a government contract." Presumably such concerns don't arise with private companies. (Ahem)
