    When I go in a car (coach again, this year) we get up at 3am on Wednesday in Worcestershire, parked by 5-5.30 and in the queue by 6am. Through gates by about 9am. Works fine.

    Crikey you folks are hardcore, some of these remind me of the 4 Yorkshiremen sketch "I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed..."

    I do genuinely appreciate their social media interactions. I received a message from them last year and they gave me 2 tickets to see Lana Del Rey in Hyde Park! It was such a fantastic day and I will forever be grateful to them for the experience. Their social media team is decent! 


    Bloody hell you're a lucky rascal!

  3. Despite the recent rains, the field at the end of my road is surprisingly dry, pretty hard in many parts.

     

    Yesterday was lovely all day, this morning before I got up could hear it chucking down, somewhat surprised now to see that outside the sun is out, blossom gently blowing in the breeze, ground is dry.

    if you think back a few years there was loads of complaints (mainly by corbyn fans ) about opinion and comment pieces in the papers like they shouldn't exist, i don't ever remember a complaint like that about owen jones!

     

    He gets a phenomenal quantity of vitriol, every social media site, all the newspapers you'd expect, clearly we know he's been assaulted too.

    Well that's a Guardian article, the irony is The Sun would never have published that.

    You simply don't know that. 

     

    They've crossed some extraordinary taboos which I was flabbergasted they didn't get prosecuted for.

    If you don't read the articles how do you know they're bollocks? The point is The Sun is the most popular news site after the BBC so the public at large don't share your disgust, (BTW Hillsborough was 35 years ago tomorrow, many won't even have been born then so sadly it's less of an issue today.) You need to be aware of what is being reported so you know what effect this is having on the people who do read The Sun and Mail, better to read and point out the distortions etc. than to pretend no one has those opinions.

    This is the scum's political editor

    I once woke up to find myself lying on double yellow lines in a lorry loading bay. Not a very comfortable. However, I was lucky that it was a Sunday morning and there were no deliveries.

    Ha ha, excellent. 

     

    I've had so many confused awakenings, including waking in a corridor of the wrong building when on a skiing holiday.

    I'd have gone for the sucking the moisture up while sleeping approach. I don't mean with my mouth, in some deviant like manner. I mean by osmosis through the skin. That's what I'd say to myself to justify doing nothing about it before jumping into the scratcher. 

    Depends how warm the room is, it's not nice waking up cold and wet 😉

    Update on the can over the bed situation, I fessed up and my sister said don’t worry because she was planning on washing the sheets anyway 😂 🙉

    Small wet patch like that, I'd have just got the hair dryer out...again.

    i don't think they are and don't think many yanks will either, its the land of money where money talks or stops the talk.

    I refer the honourable gentleman to my previous statement to the house "Two-thirds of registered voters say Trump’s hush money charges are serious". 

     

    Ergo, you don't know what they think.

    Just  a Couple of Mums hearted my question about Glasto 24!  Niche I know but always great fun!

    Not at all niche, a few years ago we ducked into the Spike on a day that had been a bit damp, lovely drinks plus their happy vibe and tunes was a real tonic. 

  12. "Two-thirds of registered voters say Trump’s hush money charges are serious" 

     

    "When it comes to the 2024 presidential election, 41% of registered voters say that they would vote for President Joe Biden, and 37% of registered voters say they would vote for Donald Trump if the election was held today."

    If that’s the case then she’s in the clear as there is a time limit of a year after the offence and this supposed one was 10 years ago. I doubt it’ll be enough though for the Tories/RW until they hound a working class woman out of her position. 

    Indeed. 

     

    Funny how this minor story has dominated this thread as tediously as the media
