I find this a step in the wrong direction and we should be making it harder not easier for people to gamble. The government says it intends to let people use debit cards to gamble on slot machines. The move will allow pubs, casinos and slot venues to compete in an increasingly cashless...

I've been on with the hallway and upstairs landing for the last few weeks and I can finally see the end of it. The minister of good ideas had decided she wanted new white rises and solid stair treads added to the stairs and wainscotting to the lower walls to create mock panelling. I am about...

I've just been reading about the floods in Normandy, I hope it's not impacted on you or your loved ones. The picture below is in the Calvados region. Connexion - Update: Heightened warnings in the Calvados department for river flooding have been extended to include Tuesday (May 14). The river...

It looks like one of our posters hasn’t come back from his last mission. Anyone know if he’s ok or know why he’s stop posting? Jedi is a good lad and sadly missed on here.

Is anyone watching this? It is shocking that these people live amongst us and we could easily be sitting in a restaurant or pub with them.

I've just watched this documentary narrated by Jeremy Clarkson on BBC Four and would recommend it. I am not a lover of Clarkson but he is good at getting his point over in these programmes. I think it was recorded in 2014 but well worth a watch if you like WW2 history. Edit: The story of...

Hi, We've had our house alarm in for some years now and although it works ok, the keypad is a horrible yellow colour and we have wires running everywhere. I have been thinking about getting a wireless alarm fitted and was wondering roughly what the cost would be and if anyone could recommend a...

I was reading an article on how olive oil prices have rocketed in France and couldn't help but laugh and felt the need to share the name of the managing director - Fanny De Gasquet. Surely that name is open to schoolboy humour. 🤣 🤣 🤣 Connexions - “We’ve gone from €3,000 per tonne, to as...

Did anyone see the lad in the blue Spurs shirt screaming abuse at the corner taker just before the third goal? After the goal, you can see him in the background walking out. 🤣🤣🤣

It is unbelievable how tight it is at the bottom of the table. I had hoped Huddersfield would avoid relegation but now hope it remains as it is at the bottom. Birmingham deserve to go down due to the club appointing Rooney when Eustace was doing so well. I do hope Plymouth survive.

Enjoy. https://www.skysports.com/football/video/33727/13124335/cardiff-1-4-middlesbrough-championship-highlights

How many times have you reached one and thought thank ferk for that? 🤣 🤣 🤣 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictures-36036561

I know a few on here were discussing travel to the Springsteen concert at the Stadium of Light. My Family Days Outings have gotten back to me this morning and they have added a second coach, price of £29.99 with pick-ups from Billingham, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough and Stockton...

So, in what month does he get the sack? I am going for October 2024.

I've just read this in The Connexion. It is a shame our government aren't interested on broading the horizons of our youn people.

A little bit of Johnny Cash.

There have been a few comments on the City v Chelsea FA Cup thread about how City are boring to watch and others have mentioned how they like the way they play. None of us are right or wrong and I am sure those making these comments don't want to see a Tony Pulis style football of lumping it...

I've struggled with neck pain for some time now but after a recent MRI scan, I was told I had rheumatoid arthritis in my spine. I've previously had two operations on my lower spine to fuse discs and was offered an operation on my upper spine some years ago to sort my neck out. I refused at...

Technology is a wonderful thing and I am amazed at how fast it is moving and allowing people like myself who aren't tech-savvy to use devices to stay in touch with people. On Wednesday, I received a text from my mum stating she was sharing her new phone number. Something we've all done but...
