I remember many years ago when we were disgruntled about pay, a colleague said in a union meeting "I don't need the money, I just want the fight". Some men just want to see the world burn. 1
Foxdiamond Posted 11 October 2023 Posted 11 October 2023 Often debate about England politics is about the North and South. How do you Midlanders feel about this. Just asking as as a Southerner with Northern roots but supports Leicester City
Bellend Sebastian Posted 11 October 2023 Posted 11 October 2023 In answer to Jon The Hat's post in the now shut down forerunner of this lovely thread, Bedfordshire Fire Service have said that the vehicle that started the Luton airport blaze was a diesel, which they seem to have said in response to speculation that it was an EV. Do EVs catch fire a lot? Cars catching fire is hardly a new thing is it?

MPH Posted 11 October 2023 Posted 11 October 2023 I’m a little confused that talking about The Israeli- Palestinian thread was considered politics.. maybe it was because some people had MADE it political… it would be super helpful to find out if discussing the conflict WAS considered political.. or maybe a couple of guidelines on what is considered political would also help

It's becoming a genuine problem for housing providers and landlords with e-bikes, particularly those maladapted ones covered in gaffer tape.
