Don't post on here often, but read it every day. Can't sit by and watch @Ozanne getting picked on for doing little other than make a polite 'point of order' request without my saying something. F

Obviously horrible news. But I think pointing the finger at Rayner is not only unfair to her, but also serves to help silence critics of the Tories. Don't forget that over the years, BJ's words h

feeling happy cos i've just found my  two smartwatches that i'd not seen for four months and thought they might be lost. 🙂 

they're very good smartwatches with features that're wasted on me and  annoyingly short battery lives.

they're a pain in the arse to setup - would probably help if i knew what i was doing.

Which ones you got ? 

Most need an app and the stars to align to get them to bluetooth with your phone 😛 

i've had them a while: ticwatch E2 and E3.

E3 is the top of the range one, still has sh*t battery life. i wanted ones that use wear os rather than propriatory stuff.

 

used to have a sony smartwatch but it died.

bluetooth worked a dream when i reset the watch. i like bluetooth it works well, it took about a decade for the big tech firms to nail down the spec for it, they did a good job i'd say.

If Hamas are not going to surrender and Israel don't fancy being wiped off the face of the earth - whats your answer ?

And just exactly who is going to wipe Israeli from the face of the earth?

Hamas aren't capable of doing so

We have answers to how to achieve lasting peace in the middle East on this forum? Wow. Hope the powers that be are reading. Does it involve continuing the destruction of Gaza in the hope that they will kill some Hamas? Or does it involve a ceasefire, hostage release and negotiations on a way forward for that whole region?

If we had a time machine to go back to 1948, with our current knowledge, we might have a chance.

Regarding what the saudis are doing Yemen. I'm actually not convinced that going back to 1948 would work. Would the Sunni's accept the Shiites being in control of Jerusalem or would they be doing the same thing Israel is doing and judging by the state of Yemen alot worse.

Yeah but no one would care.

wow - wrong.  Your limited history knowledge kicking in now.

So the Israelis didn't forcibly remove approximately 750,000 Palestinians--over 80% of the population from their homes?

Well that's news to me

      Ticket tips and Tricks 2027

      By kalifire · Posted

      I've heard that ticket sales for other events that use the same system have included the question 'are you still there?' on each window/browser you have with a place in the queue. If you don't confirm you are, it'll assume you're not and that place will drop.   I've no idea if Glasto/See will adopt this, but it would be challenging to keep on top of with many windows open.

      Glastonbury 2027 ticket price predictions

      By kalifire · Posted

      People who're struggling are already priced out, so I don't think a bump in price will affect who attends. There'll still be a cross section, leaning young. I also think they'll do a soft breaking of the £400 ceiling, keeping the ticket price just below but having postage take it over. Next year the ticket itself will be over that threshold.

      Not sure if this has been mentioned but new La Roux album out November - was meant to play in 2020 but hasn't found her way back onto a lineup. If any excuse just to hear this absolute banger on the fields next year!
