    I hate all the ads as they all seem to be hosted/acted by black or Asian people, it's got to the point where I wonder if I live in Africa or Asia. I personally  find it insulting to our once great nation. What is really going on. From Auntie.

    Yep - most feature heavy inclusivity these days, the most grating to me are fatty nothing like feminine wimen. Even Emmerdale has been infected with serious gaiety.

    ....  also vogue Williams in the fairy liquid advert her voice and smug grin makes me want to throw something at the tv I can’t stand her  but funnily enough through work I spoke to her and she seemed really nice totally did my head in  do I like her or can’t I stand her  😂😂😂

    I think she's quite hot but the wife can't stand her.

  3. Mine is that horrible nasal Alan Carr, particularly in the advert for ITVX. I can't imagine anyone less likely to want to use anything 'it' promotes. I say it because its neither a male nor female in my opinion and I think it makes UK males look effeminate nasal whiners. I'll leave it there so I don't get banned because we can't say what we think sometimes.

    My wife received a renewal quote in the post, which was almost £185 more than last year. I went on Go Compare (as they give a refund of up to £250 if you have to pay an excess charge) and I managed to get a good deal for her. Application form filled in on line and I also kept a copy. When she received the documents yesterday (her insurance expires 17th January) she noticed that her annual mileage was written down as 1000 miles. Checking the copy, it showed 8000. She contacted the company yesterday and the guy on the other end said that they only input what details are provided. She informed him that she had proof of what we stated, but he said, 'Okay, but there's an admin' charge of £47 to adjust it. She declined that and pointed out that she had a right to cancel the policy and receive a full refund, if it's cancellend within 14 days of receiving it. He would'nt budge so she told him that she wanted to cancel it. He then said that there was £20 fee for this! Anyway, the policy was cancelled, she will receive a refund minus £20. I looked on Go Compare again and took out another policy which was only £11 more than the first one. Today, she spoke to a staff member at Go Compare (Newport South Wales) and was told that the £20 should not have been taken, and that they will investigate this with the hope that the £20 will aldo be refunded.

    Compare sites need to have people reading all of the prompts. They like to sneak in tricks like seriously undervaluing a car under cover of a "this is what we think your car is worth window" too... be careful.

  5. I've just bumped my .22 FAC BTAS FX CYCLONE carbine for sale. It has a lever at the left side of the action that has three power settings, the lower is about 16 FTlb, middle about 18 and top power selection just over 26FTlb. It is seriously lightweight and has a shot count of forty while still on the regulator before dropping down, Anyone needing more shots than that on an outing is dreaming of a white Xmas reoccurring.

    I'm visiting family Dec 24/25/26 and don't do online wi my - mobile so be patient if you want a reply - or respond today up to midnight. You have not disclosed your whereabouts.

  6. I got a bit brave and tried making good a wheel arch - welding a strip of 1.5mm steel mostly to a rear inner wing fold over using 1.6 negative electrode, earthed direct to the new steel. It holds but I've not put much weight on it I blew through a couple of places. Next stage is to weld some 1mm plate to that new metal and the inner wing to make a base for some P38. I sparked up on the new steel then quickly strayed to the old metal.

    any proof for such a broad brush stroke think you will find it’s more a case people are sickened by the appalling death toll and victimisation of Palestinian civilians rather than any support for the hamas idiots sickening part is everyone knows it yet pretend otherwise to ease their guilty conscience 

    No proof - but of course all the protesters, young schoolchildren and university students haven't been encouraged to dislike Jews right?

  8. Thanks for the replies gents. As I suspected it seems whilst some of the general population in Gaza have to at least show some support for Hamas and help hide and protect them, its telling that the protesters around the world not under Hamas control actively support and endorse Hamas atrocities on Oct 7.

    That is quite sickening to see happening on our streets.

  9. Some of you know I'm slightly autistic and a bit bad with words so please help me put the seemingly popular 'hate Israel' thing into context.

    Much like my thoughts about Russia vs Ukraine: I'm thinking each side is as bad as the other when taking historical hatred into consideration. I'm not looking for any rights or wrongs to be brought here and please don't let this topic get out of hand: if it does, as its my topic I'll ask for it to be closed.

    I just can't help feeling Palestinians voted for Hamas and can't find reason for people blaming Israel for the seed Hamas sowed. I need  short simple answers as I can't absorb long text.

    Am I wrong?

    Also why is it now, after years of X-raying wagons over in France to stop illegal immigrants entering the country. Can we now not seem to catch loads of them on the shore line setting off for the uk in full view of everybody? Unless of course the French are turning a blind eye for some reason? 

    The fact is, since we left the EU illegal immigration is up. That’s the only fact on this thread 😂
