Politics / Facial recognition police vans
« on: August 13, 2025, 10:57:10 AM »
Just saw it on the news this morning and once again the human rights brigade et al are all moaning about this.

If you're not doing anything wrong you have nothing to fear......end of.

I would take a lot of persuading that this was an infringement of my rights, in a perfect world yes we wouldn't need such measures but unfortunately we do.
If this gets just one miscreant off the streets then it's worth it

Chesterfield Discussion / Re: Recycling

Tagging on to this post I put out the black bin {household} for Tuesdays pick up.  Someone had put a sticker on the bins early morning so I had a look, it was for a bin cleaning service that comes round monthly and charges £6 per bin, and considering I have 3 bins that can run to a fair few bob in the year.

I clean out my maroon bin twice a year and my garden bin once a year, and with the black bin I put in wheelie bin bags and then tie them up on pick up day. The black bin was a replacement bin that I've had for about 5 years now and the inside is as clean as the day it was delivered using these bags.

A year's supply of bags for my black bin is less than a fiver.......plus there's no rubbish left on the road from my bin.

£6 per month.....it's a no brainer!

Politics / Trade deal with India
« on: July 29, 2025, 06:52:44 PM »
So Starmer is trumpeting the "massive" trade deal he has brokered with India.

Jobs and prosperity for both nations abound {apparently} but I'm just wondering if he took the time, whilst talking with India's Prime minister, to ask what was being done to close down the amount of scam call centres dotted around India that scam hundreds of U.K. {and elsewhere} citizens out of their hard earned cash.

There are rumours that D,T, got into the White House {the first time} because he is a Russian plant. There was a documentary on the box the other night and I taped it but only seen about 10 minutes of it so far. This could explain why there was such a mix up at the count when Biden was elected.

I know nothing about American politics but nothing would surprise me.

Talk about Starmer U turning what about Trump.......

A couple of months ago he:-
Stopped arming Ukraine because he accused them of starting the war with Russia
Said that N.A.T.O. was a spent force
Said he and Putin were "Getting on well"
NOW
He is arming Ukraine because he said Russia started the war
Having talks with N.A.T.O. because he thinks their the bees knees
Threatening Putin with heavy tariffs because he's not frightened of Trump.

Clare Boring has introduced Wimbledon again this year, my 6 year old gt/grandaughter knows more about tennis than she does, wads of papers on her desk she has to keep referring to when with the likes of Billie Jean McEnroe et al.

I don't know the exact amount she's paid for the two weeks at Wimbledon but her B.B.C. salary is up past the £2000,000 mark and I bet if you checked all the Wimbledon fortnight she wouldn't have been on screen for more than 15 hours.

Sport / Yet another shrine
« on: July 13, 2025, 11:49:20 AM »
The death of Diogo Jota.

When I heard what had happened on the news the other day I thought, surely he must have been speeding, thinking it had happened here but as more information unfolded I thought "Well I'm not surprised"

A 28 year old driving a Lamborghini at 12:30 a.m. in Spain having a puncture overtaking another vehicle you can see why I'm not surprised.
I can take a well educated guess as to what happened and I wasn't even there.
 
So what's happening? shrines going up left right and centre, fans in Liverpool feigning tears because the news cameras are rolling it's pathetic.......
GET A GRIP, he wasn't a ground breaking scientist who had discovered cures for tropical diseases, he wasn't a charity aid worker who had spent his adult life in third world countries tending the sick and dying... he was a footballer, he kicked balls into a net for a living and was very well paid for it.
Don't get me wrong all deaths are tragic but there are those that can be placed in the "Shouldn't have happened category" and I believe this one fits the bill.

Walked down Packers row this morning and rounded onto Low Pavement. Me and the wife walked past the old Halifax towards Santander and the paving slabs are an utter disgrace..well more than that they are a deathtrap, they are really bad, however anyone hasn't slipped and broken something is beyond me {if it ends up being either me or the wife the council can get ready}
The bottom half of the market looks like work has ground to as halt, can't see any progress at all. As for the car park at the rear of the town hall loads of slabs are piled in there covering half the car park depriving the council of car parking fees, no wonder they keep putting the charges up.

I usually park in the c.p. next to the town hall, it's scandalous the money they are charging for parking.

I think from now on if I need to go to town I'll jump on the bus. It's a good job I'm not in a hurry because when I went to town the other day I was stood at the bus stop for at least half an hour before one turned up, and there was a couple that had been sat there ten minutes before I got there.

Looks like Trump is deciding whether to bomb Iran or not!!

 Because he has the diplomacy of a dog turd I'm surprised he just doesn't toss a coin.

The fate of the world depends which side of the bed he got out of this morning, it's frightening, meanwhile my Anderson shelter is coming on apace!

Went to town this morning for a few things {as it had stopped raining} we got as far as Penmore and the heavens opened so went home. Tried again and got there at 10:58 stayed for an hour, by then it very warm and the sun was out, got back to the car at 11:00 and had to pay £3:70 for the privilege.
