About the same length as a piece of string.

The CSI Miami crew will be having kittens.

Very restrained of the policeman to only shoot him in the arm.

A violation of the equal intellect rule.

Desperately sad. It'll take a long time to get the DUI culture turned around though.

As Ukraine needs the US I doubt this issue will be too overblown.

Open and transparent competitive tender process?

Hope the woman recovers fast.

All a misunderstanding.

Deport them!

The 'eye for an eye' versus the 'kill them wherever you come upon them' bovine excrement summed up perfectly in a Gary Larson joke.

Yes. They can. So can Christians. Thou shalt not... An eye for an eye... The point is criminals kill, not the religion. Criminals break the law, the religion does not. We can all point fingers at other religions (I was brought up Christian, but quit when I learnt the Minister was a kiddie fiddler and got protected by the church and not prosecuted by the police). My mind is open to other religions, and I prefer to see the good that religions bring to the vast, VAST, majority of their followers, but of course being aware that twisted minds will twist the religious writings to their own ends when it suits them. And I am aware of the ridiculous intolerance some have to religions other than their own. I'm also generally a fan of free speech, so wouldn't want people to stop expressing their views. Whether I agree or not.

The male must have had a beef with her For those of you not used to English slang, the term "beef"⁠ means to have a problem, fight, or argument⁠.

I don't care about his approval rating, it means nothing to me. The "Daily Telegraph" is often known as the "Torygraph" in the UK. Not exactly the most balanced editorial content, but in this case well done to them for highlighting this issue as it's an absolute scandal. Personally, I don't mind them scrapping this universal payment, far too many rich people getting it. But, this was ill-thought out, lacking in consideration for how difficult many people find filling out Government forms, especially the online ones. It would have been far better to fund a charity for 3 months to help every over-60 to fill in the forms, so that as many as possible could escape the trap of having to choose between eating or heating this winter.

There were so many, I don't know where to start. If Sue Gray's Report was a pack of lies then I'm sure the UK media would have said so. They might have done and I may have missed it, but maybe you know better. I'm sure you can post some links to that. I'm also not so blinkered that I stop at Sue Gray's Report. Were you alive when Brexit was happening? Remember the promise on a side of a bus about NHS spending? There's a bit more on this link. https://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/61163/boris-johnson-dishonesty-brexit-privileges-committee-partygate There's shed loads more, but I'm not wasting any more time on this cheating liar. Of course, he's not the only cheating liar in politics, so perhaps I'm a bit unfair to single him out. But he is close to being at the pinnacle of liars and cheaters in world politics that I'm aware of, and has been well exposed across a wide range of media. Very many times.

I expect that the minivan will have had seatbelts fitted, but due to non-maintenance none of them could actually operate. Yet again, avoidable deaths due to gross negligence by the minivan operator/owner and at all levels of government who don't inspect the vehicles or enforce the laws and safety checks.

"Whoever kills an innocent person it is as if he has killed all of humanity.” — [Quran 5:32] This murderer is not a Muslim, he is simply a cowardly murderer who needs to be taken out of the gene pool.

Thanks for the reply, it’s appreciated.

I'm proactively looking at retirement now. Currently swithering between Thailand and Philippines. Phuket never made it onto my long list after holidaying there 12 years ago (loved it), then 9 years ago (didn't love it due to the Russian influx and their negative impact on the Thais). Hua Hin is my favourite place so far, but more research to be done. Philippines? Not found anywhere I love yet (been to Cebu, Manila, Angeles, Kalibo, Taal and Palawan). A Filipino I know has recommended the Subic area (less typhoon impact, less busy but still got some life about it). Going to check that out next.

Scammers who found a new way to scam. All through abusing the names of people killed by the police. Amazing. Almost as amazing as the woke funders who thought they could get good publicity from feeding the scammers.

Any chance of a completely unbiased, non-political appointee who will apply the law evenly, and without fear or favor? I thought not...

Oh, obviously one dragon ball short of a portion…

Ooh!! Just like the Vardy v Rooney Wagatha Christie saga in the UK!! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagatha_Christie

I wonder how many buffalo are in her 'family'?
