At the monthly meetings of a voluntary organisation I belong to we started to suffer this at meetings, several of the dozen committee members engrossed in their phones and not following, keeping track of what was being said and being planned. In the end a couple of us who weren't yet brain dead...

Well said Zlatan. It's been very noticeable over the whole life of this forum that the vast majority of posting takes place between 9am and 5pm Mondays to Fridays, business hours. I'm quite sure this will be true across most internet forums. Considering the sheer scale of total posting, it's...

Indeed, another reason to concentrate their manufacture at one ex GM plant, which logically will be in an EU country. .

Now PSA who took over GM in Europe, including Vauxhall, have announced another 260 jobs going from the Ellesmere Port plant. That's on top of 400 lost a month or so ago. I'm sure that's part of what I forecast, PSA intending to wind down and shut Vauxhall in Britain since they have so much...

I agree, but that isn't the only reason for Blair's unpopularity. .

We'll see, as I've previously commented, the public will get so sick of the 38 years and increasing term of Conservative and pseudo conservative rule that Labour could be elected by default. Not so much Labour winning, more the Tories losing to leave Labour in power. .

That's a blessing. .

Only 2 pence a minute. He must be jealous of Philip Hammond's 2.7 pence. .

Well done, two and a half out of three. Must do better. ,

Well, almost. It can work if the responsibilities of socialism are enforced, but of course that can be unpleasant for some in such a state. There are exceptions though, Sweden for example, a very level and fair society. .

I preferred a local anaesthetic, I even had an open bowel operation done that way so I could watch and listen to the surgeon describing every stage and asking me to assist at one point. Your mention of the patch coming off surprised me. I know the NHS ops are followed by a lint layer and patch...

It's only the vegetarians and vegans who'll suffer, we carnivores will just eat them. .

Understood. I also understand that they are still, so long after, suffering the ill effects of the agent orange used in the Vietnam war Queue wise we are getting there though, our A & E queues now spilling out of waiting rooms, along corridors and outside into queues of ambulances. .

I wonder how much of that was cultural though? The peoples of many far away countries seem uniquely able to create physically chaotic situations. In sharp contrast, the British in similar situations just form a queue. .

I think the reference to Blue Tits got Soundwave aroused. :eek: .

Yes it is very tricky to connect those motor cables and always best to split the crankcase. Fortunately once parted it's much easier to deal with the content than on the old unit which had more complex innards. On my site just look at the old unit stripping information first to see how to...

For your own sake Zlatan, please consider carefully the options if the cataract operation is necessary. This is one area where the NHS has long been failing, their methods many years behind the times. Basically for cost and convenience reasons they will only plan for one eye at a time, and...

You are completely missing the point I made, that ethnic cleansing can be by removal of identity and that is the method the Israelis are using. I'm not denying a population increase, I am stressing the loss of identity. Hamas are using two methods at least to increase the population in an...

Because they are being progressively being denied the chance to adequately support themselves, they are made increasingly dependent on outside support. Their lands are being continuously shrunk to achieve that, a deliberate Israeli strategy which includes oppression and military control beyond...

But studiously avoid protecting the survival of Palestine and the Palestinian people. .
