  1. Why a Turkish side? He's already got a sharp haircut and nice teeth.
  2. And there you go again. Unqualified rhetoric. I'm not going to labour the point or get into an unnecessary argument as I don't want this topic shut down again.
  3. Who are the people getting these things, then? You've simply spouted the same rhetoric that Reform want to hear and spread. The only things on your list that they might get free is rent paid (if they qualify for full housing benefits) and food from a foodbank. And believe it or not people in crisis situations can only have 3 foodbank vouchers in a 6 week period by which time it is expected that they will no longer be in crisis. If their situation hasn't improved they can re-apply but it's not just handing out vouchers to all and sundry that rock up at CAB or the council. People are checked to try to ensure they are genuine. WRT foodbanks, I volunteer in 2 locally. The people that come in are genuinely in need. Some are living temporarily in a hotel room having moved to escape domestic violence or in 1 case I know of, modern slavery. All they have is a kettle in their room. All we can give them is pot noodles, tinned rice pud, tinned fruit, tinned cold meat, tinned fish, stuff that doesn't need cooking. And yes, some are immigrants that have left war torn countries and to avoid persecution. It's easy to generalise until you see and hear things for yourself.
  4. I knew you didn't mean the Whiskey
  5. It is up for debate though. And I'm not sure what your last paragraph means. Her defence team was weak, I agree, They didn't seem to challenge hard enough or go to great lengths to refute the prosecution. Having watched the latest programme on TV, it's pretty damning that the evidence put forward by one "expert" that he then changed his mind about after the guilty verdict and further investigation by the new defence lawyer, exposed a number of discrepancies in the prosecution evidence. Also the contrary evidence that injecting air through the nasogastric tube wouldn't necessarily cause death, (there's no substantiating evidence that this actually happened. The post mortem results suggested it was a possible cause). Also subsequent expert opinion explaining that neonates can produce excessive amounts of insulin naturally which then gets reabsorbed naturally over time. I'm pretty sure at some point in the future the guilty verdict will be judged to be unsound.
  6. Is this the same as a golden shower? Might as well be.
  7. In thought this was clever.
  8. HA in Hinckley on my drive. I didn't have a problem before. I have previously been able to save R2, R5live and some commercial stations that aren't broadcasting on FM. You're right about the DAB reception. It's not great. I could have the radio on a DAB station and drive 50 yards down the road and lose it. Very frustrating.
  9. That's going to go over so many people's heads on here.
  10. Is the Leicester Lions speedway stadium/team still going?
  11. I'm not disclosing any personal info but there was one memorable individual at the meeting I went to who disclosed that she would drink 3 - 4 bottles of red wine a night. She didn't drink during the day as she had kids at home. Her eldest son bought her a nice bottle of wine for her birthday once. She made him take it back and get it exchanged for 3 bottles of the crap stuff. It wasn't about the taste experience it was purely about the alcohol. I hope you find your support group... supportive. Good luck on your journey away from alcohol.
  12. Some of them attended AA meetings at different venues on different days just to avoid drinking. I'm not sure but most of the meetings seem to take place in the evenings for obvious reasons I guess.
  13. My dad took me to the world track cycling championships, must have been about 1970 when I would have been 14. I remember the sense of pride that Leicester had been chosen and seeing all the different nations flags on the lampposts on Saffron Lane. The last event I went to there was a car boot sale in the car park. The venue had been closed by then and the state of the place was quite saddening. On the plus side my BiL sold a petrol strimmer for a fiver after being short of the truth when the buyer asked if it was working.
  14. When I was working, I attended an AA meeting as part of a training course and when I listened to some of the awful experiences that were shared, it sure made me take a look at myself. It's remarkable how some of the people there managed to pull themselves back from the brink.
  15. Season ticket? Nah, unlikely Now you've scared @Finnegan again, just as he was calming down.
  16. Anyone able to help with a problem I have with the radio in my Peugeot? For some reason the "infotainment" system wiped all my saved stations and I had to retune after I did a factory reset. Now it won't pick up 104.9FM and I can't tune into any DAB stations where before I had several in my presets. I've searched Peugeot forums and Google but I can't find anything that really matches my issue so I guess this post is a bit of a long shot.
  17. Supermarkets were selling England flags etc. Nobody was buying them. No little flags on cars either.
  18. Another thing that was positive throughout the tournament is the players not surrounding the ref or waving the imaginary yellow card. And no frequent spitting, either.
  19. I wasn't complaining. I was comparing. There's a difference.
  20. I don't watch WSL as it's not a great experience. However The Lionesses is a different level.
  21. Not until the engraver does his work.
