If TM gets the boot, then it rather looks as though we will all need to have one eye looking over our own shoulders. The unaccountable chattering minions and their insatiable desire to flush out the dirt, whether justifiable or just a foundless même are to blame, the media only serves a ready market whilst touting a Nuremberg defence.

Rhodes and now Corfu being hit with fires, Its going to cost a lot in tourist money, I expect the EU will help them out  , but it was getting hot down there when we left Majorca it was 38 degrees, they say 48 degrees in Sicily. A bit here would be nice though but its all down to the jet stream being stuck. |

On The Home Service just now, yer Farage stated that the banks are now routinely scrutinising the social media of its clients, presumably for anything that they do not wish to he associated with, or that may tarnish their market appearance by any such association. I have never hidden the fact that I have a low-ball opinion of him, no that's wrong- more objectively (and to avoid poking at him specifically) those Steerpikes who seem to make a living in the way that he does (those folk who earn a living by always being ready with an opinion, and the nous to know how to be heard) but what I've learned is that whenever Farage says something, he can definitely back it up.
The very notion of banks undertaking such snooping underhand skulduggery hacks me off big style, I suppose it is daft to feign surprise though. Once you draw breath, you realise that they are probably not actually surfing your FacePage, Twatter or even Proboards and by extension groups.io accounts et al, no- as usual web bots will be doing the number crunching for them, and keywords flagged up for a sentient being to review. Artificial Intelligence at work? "Brave New World". Those who charge FacePage, Twatter et al for failing to regulate those platforms need to inculcate the understanding that there is no way that any organisation that can measure its userbase in billions can possibly do that. Keywords are the key there too, but you'll never eviscerate the trolling scrotes.
The banks have definitely had their collars felt here. All those years of giving us bugger all for our savings whilst cheerfully gouging mortgage payers to the tune of several percentage points above an equivalent free loan? No wonder Islam eschews usury, even though they just dress it up with some crappy pseudo equivalent.

Rose has gone now the others need to go, and banks do what they are supposed to not police social networks for things they don't like.

Womens world cup kicked off and they want the same money as men footballers. I wondered how long that would take.

But (pardoning the pun) they are not level playing fields are they? "All things are not equal". That said, if (when) the women's game garners the same revenue as the men's then, hell yes- they deserve it, and the leeches contributing little to nothing and syphoning plenty whilst sitting at the top table in the sport would already be rubbing their claws together in anticipation.

The high court decides in favour of khan? What thick ass dung wits are these high court judges? Khan was not elected by those individuals shafted by this decision, nor do they benefit from his Oyster Card scheme, and his jurisdiction does not include Surrey anyway. I suppose by the same twisted logic exhibited by those beaks he might as well include Guildford and prepare to move on Brighton. If I was an S.C.C. official, I'd have cameras torn down if erected within my own catchment, wouldn't you? Let khan spend London rate payers pay to challenge Surrey in the high court. Putin would definitely approve of his "initiative". What the phuck are these be-whigged kernels playing at? If that ruling includes me (and you can bet yer boots it will) I will have to find a way to deal with our VW Transporter. Must be worth at least, ooh- £50 now? Shytehead.

I have just checked on a TFL website and it says We're outside the ULEZ, but the boundary is only about 400 yards away. My heart goes out to all the individuals affected who will now have to move on their affected vehicles or pay the charge for every day that they drive in the proposed extended ULEZ. Decency precludes me from intimating what I'd like to see happen to that caniving specimen of my genus.

Rayner says the whole country will have ULEZ when they get into power.

Just imagine the scrap mountain that "win win" they can charge us to dispose of (dump on a third world country). Save the planet eh?

Yesterday's Euromillions results:
7--32--33--34--38 Stars 6 & 9
Last Friday's Euromillions results:
7--31--33--35--36 Stars 7 & 10
I thought the web page was out of date until I cross checked.

TL;DR?
"The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number. Why was that gauge used? Well, because that's the way they built them in England, and English engineers designed the first US railroads. Why did the English build them like that? Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the wagon tramways, and that's the gauge they used. So, why did 'they' use that gauge then? Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they had used for building wagons, which used that same wheel spacing. Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing? Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break more often on some of the old, long distance roads in England . You see, that's the spacing of the wheel ruts. So who built those old rutted roads? Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (including England ) for their legions. Those roads have been used ever since. And what about the ruts in the roads? Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match or run the risk of destroying their wagon wheels. Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome , they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing. Therefore the United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original specifications for an Imperial Roman war chariot. Bureaucracies live forever. So the next time you are handed a specification/procedure/process and wonder 'What horse's as came up with this?', you may be exactly right. Imperial Roman army chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the rear ends of two war horses. (Two horses' ass'.) Now, the twist to the story: When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The SRBs are made by Thiokol at their factory in Utah . The engineers who designed the SRBs would have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but the SRBs had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site. The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains, and the SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know, is about as wide as two horses' behinds. So, a major Space Shuttle design feature, of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system, was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a horse's ass. And you thought being a horse's ass wasn't important? Ancient horse's ass' control almost everything."
I expect most of the foregoing has an element of substance to it?

As am I  In my opinion all those arriving on small boats should BE IMMEDIATELY DEPORTED As for the child killer she should not be in kept away from other inmates, and lets see how long she lasts? |
