I'd rather it didn't, to be honest. Happy to never have to see it again.

Farage is definitely on some sort of jolly. As for Trump, he's just in La La land.

I made a vegetable curry for dinner yesterday. I just felt something was missing when I plated it up with naan bread. I only just realised this morning the gap I left on the plate was for rice. I forgot the rice. No wonder my other half seemed confused and suggested we eat out today. Ooops! ๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ

There is a sad flag on the Redditch to Bromsgrove Highway which has been at half-mast since the madness began. It seems to be getting lower and lower as the months go by. I also think it is symbolic of the Tor-Reform party.

The nickname is a revelation. The reasons behind it were not a surprise. I always thought he was all the things mentioned and I (thankfully) have never had anything to do with him. When Nonce Andrew insisted tax payers pay for his daughter's wedding it confirmed to me he was indeed an entitled ****.

About 10 years' ago in Germany, a DJ (who knew our little group - English and Scottish Goths, Punks and whatever else) played Into the Valley. Cue boysterous bouncing by us, 15 or so 50ish year olds. The Germans, giving us a wide berth, looked bemused and we loved it. ๐Ÿ˜œ

Informative Q&A and review, thank you. I didn't realise any of this was happening and still touring. I am out of the loop regarding gigs and find it difficult, for a number of reasons, to get to gigs and clubs these days. Will try harder from now on.

Ooh, I need to look out for this. I loved the Skids and had soft spot for Stuart Adamson.

We are going to watch the last two episodes of series 5 this weekend. I have been wanting to watch ST for years and only got Netflix at Christmas, so has been a lengthy catch-up. I am pleased this series is the last. I feel it has gone as far as it can now.

Netgoth was my first introduction to online people on my return to the Goth scene in 2002. Discovered bands and clubs through it. Best of all, I met people to go clubbing and see bands with. We're still friends with many now. Also, I loved MySpace before it was ruined. Happy days. ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ’œ

But at least he can pay ยฃ30.00 or so for a 'jump- the-queue' pass to avoid standing with the commoners.....just like us commoners do.

I feel your pain. Eurostar did this to me as well in the past. It's a not like they weren't expecting me, having pre-booked.

Thanks for the tip. I've always loved U2 and wondered when they'd do something new. I'll have a listen later. I will probably have bought the album by the weekend. ๐ŸŽง

I've just booked a holiday and paid in full. However, the company keep advising me I can manage my booking "in the app". I prefer to go to their website and log in there, should I need to do anything further with this booking.

Yes, I do push back when some tech makes things onerous for me.

I think that is deeply unhelpful from the AA, but good to know so I can avoid their breakdown products.

I don't mind emails etc. but I really don't want tons of apps. Why are companies so keen? What's in it for them?
