@FrayedBear On the contrary it is going to cost us,the taxpayer, much more to remedy the situation than if proper regulation had been carried out at the time. The govt. has just awarded another £3.5 billion to help remove the defective panels. There are at least three guilty parties here. The regulatory authority, the builders, and the makers and sellers of the panels. They should all be held to account.

@girlwithsmiles There are quite a few moving up from the south now that working from home is becoming more popular. I live in a small village in the Cairngorms national park and English accents are very common here. The two things I miss about England are the warmer weather and village pubs but the crowded roads and restriction of access on private land you can keep.

Unfortunately this has now been spread widely on social media and it is being picked up by unionists here and British/English nationalists in England. There always has been a few idiots on either side of the border but I have many English friends both here and in England from my time working in London,Hampshire and Bristol and none of them have had any experience of this. I think he should stick to writing fictional stories.

Just because it is in the manifest does not mean it will happen.

That's going to help our carbon footprint.

Interesting to read your comments on US presidents. A view from outside of the USA sees Trump as a total embarrassment for the USA but probably did no more harm in the world than previous presidents. As he said, he didn't start a war. Clinton was seen as a good president. So he let a young internee give him a BJ. Big deal. Bush was seen as an absolute disaster. His invasion of Iraq caused the death of hundreds of thousand and destabilised the area and gave rise to ISIS. He and Blair should be in the Hague on a war crimes trial.

@VineetHonkan I don't normally respond to people who resort to childish name calling but you are relatively young so I will ignore it. I am interested in your definition of racism. Certainly we all have to be careful not to repeat racist terms accidentally but do you hate or fear people with a different skin colour or ethnicity?. Seems a bit illogical to me. I support my national football team and cheer for Andy Murray in a tennis tournament. Does that make me racist ? A well known premiership footballer got in to big trouble for using the word "Negrita" in a text to a friend. Apparently in his culture in South America is is a term of endearment, I was brought up without any religious indoctrination either for or against unlike many of the members here so I hope I can view the subject dispassionately . The same with racism. I didn't encounter any other "races" until I went to work in London in the '60' s and encountered West Indians and Asians in particular and I found them a bit exotic and interesting rather than something to be feared.

Moravian replies on Jan 5, 2021:
The UK has an extradition treaty with the USA but the refusal to give up Julian Assange has a precedent in the attempt to extradite Gary McKinnon who hacked into Pentagon computers. Theresa May as home secretary refused to allow extradition also on humanitarian grounds. In the other direction the US have refused to release Anne Sacoolas who killed Harry Dunn, a young motorcyclist, when she drove on the wrong side of the road. She initially agreed to co operate with the police then flew back to the USA claiming diplomatic immunity.

Know what you mean. That's something else to blame the Chinese for. It is 5th Nov here and also to a lesser extent new year. A few years ago my dog disappeared on 5th Nov and I found her a few days later at a dog rescue centre on the edge of town. A local gamekeeper had found her wandering miles from home and took her to the rescue centre. She was obviously frightened by a firework. For the rest of her life any loud noise would scare her. I have heard talk of silent fireworks but I doubt if that is possible.
Well at least nobody's lying to you.

@AnneWimsey That's a bit scary but I was referring to the fact that in New Jersey you are not allowed to fill your car's tank with gas yourself but a young guy does it for you and you tip him a dollar or two.

Question to atheists and agnostics: Are you sure no god exists that you believe in?
CuddyCruiser comments on Dec 29, 2020:
Get it straight.....no one is 100% sure. NOBODY alive knows. Most who are religious have different points of view, but are pretty much all the same in the manner where they believe theirs is the “real one”.
Moravian replies on Dec 30, 2020:
Yes, the meanings of words do change over time and words can have two or more meanings. If I say something is sick I mean it is bad or unwell. If my young friends say something is sick they mean it is really good. Musicians such as Eric Clapton or Jimi Hendrix are called rock gods but we do not really think they are gods in the original sense but to use the word god in the context of a natural phenomenon is somewhat disingenuous in my opinion.

@skado To which context. Gods by definition are supernatural. Nature is super as described in Lyall Watson's great book "Supernature" but it is not supernatural.

Moravian replies on Dec 28, 2020:
@Triphid I've been a gooner since I lived in London as a teenager. I shared a flat just round the corner from Highbury so I was on the terraces every second week. Funny thing allegiance to a club, if I had stayed in West London I may have supported Chelsea or Fulham. I always support my local team as well and when living in Perth I supporter of St Johnstone. My greatest memory of Mcdermid park is when they played Monaco in a European game with Fabian Barthez in goal and his super model girlfriend watching. The game ended 3--3 but what a night.

Moravian replies on Dec 22, 2020:
@Gwendolyn2018 Well he had to go somewhere in those three days; I have read Kelsey Graves book and a couple by Acharya S and a few others and the list of resurrected Saviour gods is fairly lengthy. Speak to most Christians and they are completely unaware of this. It is almost as if the details of previous resurrected saviours is being kept from them ;-)

Moravian replies on Dec 21, 2020:
@Gwendolyn2018 I don't think it is directly connected but sun worshipping predates Christianity by thousands of years and the winter solstice was very important as can be seen by the number of stone circles that celebrate it. I was a bit dubious about the three day static sun but I have checked it and it is correct.

@Marionville Moray MP Douglas Ross has been chosen as the next Tory leader at Holyrood when Ruthie dons ermine in that geriatric care home in London. He won the seat by around 500 votes and is on record as saying to the farmers who voted for him " don't worry about the trade deal with the USA, people will look at the label on foodstuff and reject the cheaper imported food and buy yours ". Will they never learn.

Moravian replies on Dec 14, 2020:
I left home at 16 but made the mistake of going back to live with my parents at the age 22. What was a parent child relationship deteriorated markedly and my father didn't speak to me for the last 15 years of his life' I swore that if I had children I would be completely different but i regret that in many ways I was just like my father. However I have a fairly good relationship with my son and I now have two gorgeous grandchildren who I intend to spoil rotten when things get back to normality. If you don't have any children/grandchildren maybe some nieces/nephews to spoil ?

There is always a silver lining. Most of the fish caught in UK waters is exported to Europe so if even temporarily the fish are left in the sea it may be a good thing.
