  1. That looks like "good bye Rooster" from me if you are moving to video/podcasts or whatever that kind of cr@p is called.
  2. On a car in the UK it would be a "bumper" when that is also wrong as you are not supposed to bump with it!
  3. Calling the storm a "disaster" is IMO OTT! as the OP states "There were no fatalities, although one person was slightly injured." It seems it is disastrous for those people who do not have a sense of humour! PS; I highlighted the "disaster" in the quote. PPS; From the OED disaster n noun 1 a sudden accident or a natural catastrophe that causes great damage or loss of life.
  4. I thought everyone "did" a stroke when swimming to stop themselves from drowning! ????
  5. So do you have any idea about the non-existing HIGFNY?
  6. I assume he means the UK TV panel show programme: Have I Got News For You - HIGNFY - Not HIGFNY!! I do wish people, especially on a platform with people from many different countries etc, use the correct names and then use the acronym in brackets after it! Putting the acronym in the wrong letter order makes Google pointless as does the fact that many acronyms have multiple meanings.
  7. Actually it was the Roman legions who built the wall, neither the Scottish or English borderers would have wanted it! It took six years to build most of Hadrian's Wall with the work coming from three Roman legions – the Legio II Augusta, Legio VI Victrix, and Legio XX Valeria Victrix, totalling 15,000 soldiers, plus some members of the Roman fleet. From Wiki;
  8. Actually it is the other way round, the wall is there to protect the Scots from the English savages!
  9. I'm not so sure I agree with you! Just look at the "Monster Raving Loony Party" for instance! The Official Monster Raving Loony Party | Vote For Insanity
  10. How do you know that, if as you state, you only watch one, so called, news channel and therefore have nothing to compare it to?
  11. Quote from the headline; "Entire Russian spy network dismantled in Poland" Who is making that claim and how would they know if it were true?
  12. "I think I can recognise propaganda, wherever I see it." If you believe your statement above wrt to Al Jazeera then you are sadly misguided in your beliefs and rational thinking (if any!)! PS; If you only watch one news' source how do you know it is balanced or trustful or not state controlled etc?
