about 5 or 6 on one; I ended up in the sicker and Kit did nothing! At least the leader is dead

A small pub boasted about having the strongest bartender in the county. The bartender was known to take a lemon and crush it in his massive hand, squeezing every drop of juice out. The pub had a long standing offer that if anyone could squeeze an additional drop of juice from the crushed lemon, that...

Sorry, I'm a little bit late with this TRUE story from the US of A On January 18th 1943 Clause R Wickard, Secretary of an administration related to wartime stocks banned the sale of pre-sliced bread. The reasons given were to cut demand for wheat, for waxed paper and for steel! In the case of wheat ...

surely Google, social media and news searches are standard nowadays? I would be extremely careful about what is disclosed by such searches. Reason to make further enquiries but to rely on them, no. Just as newspaper correspondents are likely to have actual or innocent biases so those writing stuff ...

It is impossible to implement a process that is flawless. But it really isn't difficult to make a decent effort and at least have a policy. Most companies would add a web search for information about the individual including news articles and social media profiles and posts to this list. It really ...

A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be very liberal, and among other liberal ideals, was very much in favor of higher taxes to support more government programs, in other words redistribution of wealth. She was deeply ash...

Dobbie tried to appeal to reduce his sentence from 12 to 10 years. This was refused. Still July 2024. To me therein lies an error, In considering a sentence already given the reviewing judge should have the option of increasing the sentence or requiring that the entire sentence be filled with no ea...

‘A SHOT OF WHISKEY’ In the old west a .45 cartridge for a six-gun cost 12 cents, so did a glass of whiskey. If a cowhand was low on cash he would often give the bartender a cartridge in exchange for a drink. This became known as a “shot” of whiskey. ‘THE WHOLE NINE YARDS’ American fighter planes in ...

My Wishes for You in 2022 May peace break into your home and may thieves come to steal your debts. May the poc...

Ed. I got totally pissed off with the EU and those who ran it. The UK was always the lesser dog, with its ministers dumped in minority roles. But than we got the excessive authoritarianism; for example several UK towns were fined for not flying the EU flag but where I lived in France there were nume...

Unfortunately that is what I was saying about that unmentionable German woman for a long time. Alice Weidel or Frauke Petry? Ed; I was being just a smidgen more serious; Angela Merkel Not having got on with the language despite 2 years work, was she trying to be Die or Das Furher?; Serious question...

By contrast I found it encouraging. Parapsychology is just woo and the older people get the more they indulge it. Hopefully pupils at CH are taught the scientific method and empiricism. That’s in the kitbag you need when you leave CH, not another layer of faux mysticism. To a degree I’m echoing a m...

Sorry - i am going to have to take this piecemeal... Which laws in the UK have been specifically anti-'non-white'...? For example the blasphemy laws (repealed in 2008) which were written for a Christian society. They simply didn't take other faiths into account. Have a quick scan of this if you nee...

Delighted to see that a Polish politician has at last admitted that Germany is trying to turn the EU into the Fourth Reich.
Unfortunately that is what I was saying about that unmentionable German woman for a long time.

Reference the previous comment by Furry and extraction I am forced to go along with the condemnation of NT's failure to teach anything. A total waste of time and having time now I wish that she had taken some interest in the pupils entrusted to her (non)care. I didn't hear much of the orchestra, tha...
