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

      Some are definitely already there with that and with another round of inflation looking like it's on the way, it certainly locks that in. And I say that as someone who also isn't willing to break the £100 marker.

      A lot of people have said this online but does the Marvel world need new cities to play with? New York seems to be a target of all the villains to the point where you wonder why anyone in that world still lives there. Much as you can accuse me of overthinking it I guess haha.    I do agree that The Void is a compellingly different villain in many respects given the superpower is trapping people in their most traumatic memories. Shame in some respects the film came out in the post-Endgame funk Marvel seems stuck in and a lot of people missed out on it.    Speaking of, I rewatched Infinity War the other day. First time I think I've seen it since seeing it in the cinema on its opening day. Holds up pretty well imo - I have issues sometimes with ensemble casts and jumping between 4/5 storylines but it felt this one got the balance right and also properly explored Thanos. So it was good.

      What telly progs are you bingeing on?

      I didn't think I'd ever watched a Coben adaptation or read one of the original books, though turns out I did - I watched one called The Stranger back in 2020. Clearly didn't stick long in my memory as until researching it, I didn't know that was one of his. Queens Gambit or Black Mirror, it was not.    But clearly it's popular tripe in some respect if Netflix is going yes to everything he has to offer and are apparently about to start trying his most popular individual character, as seen below:   https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2026/jul/30/how-harlan-coben-became-the-king-of-potboiler-tv   Plus hey. Sometimes people get a kick from watching something and deriding it as crap. Don't let this internet rando stop you haha
