What has caused so many journalists, correspondents and military men to go doolally as soon as they retire ? Who radicalised them ?

Report on X office being raided

I often wonder how effective these searches are. I find it difficult enough sometimes to find the paperwork I need and I know my way around my office.

And electronic files ? How many times have people moaned that search is useless ?

Passing by the Railyard site yesterday and it looked like a base section for something like a crane had been installed.

Let's plan a bus trip from BallyHowya to DunEgorten. Click on "Plan your Journey" then "Routes and Timetables" and scour every single route to see if it serves those places. Has to be a better way.

And there is - we can use the TFI journey planner but it's not linked here...

An old video Olga Nesterova posted as though it was new. She wrote: "The surgeon general of Florida announced that ALL vaccine mandates in Florida will be ended."

The video is from September

Clout-chasing pseudo-journalists really need to knock it off with posting old videos without acknowledging when they're from. When people see posts like this, the assumption is that this happened today/yesterday/this week.

This video is from September. Do better, @onestpress.onestnetwork.com

Received a call purporting to be from Virginmedia about my cancellation. Didn't progress very far after yer man refused to provide verification that he was who he claimed to be.
And yet if we ring them we've to supply chapter and verse.
