This never ending bickering by two, three or four people is spoiling the threads and the site. I don't care about "he said, they said, I said" ! I don't care about "you started it.....no I didn't, you did" ! one of you has to be the bigger man and stop responding and break the tedious cycle of childish name calling......... Cheers.

I doubt anyone wants to turn THL into a "safe place" for woke, snowflake, easily offended metrosexuals ! And if anyone is really offended at being called a twat, maybe this isn't the site for them ? But, a line has to be drawn when it comes to families. Cheers.

He had a PDC tour card and has played the top players in some big tournaments, but I think the UK Open has different qualifying rules to other tournaments. I think it's the top 128 in the PDC, winners of some other competitions and 32 wild card invites. So not all tour card holders get into it. Cheers.
-
He isn't in it, Sid. Im not sure if he still has a tour card. Cheers.

It can be somewhat disconcerting when working with Americans when they tell someone "to get their fanny into gear" or that they gave their wife "a slap on the fanny" ! Of course it has a completely different meaning for the yanks. A classic example of " two countries separated by a common language" ! Cheers.

It was a term for a vagina when I was young, but, hey, a lot has changed since the 50's ! ? ! Cheers.

I think his humour is more sardonic, ironic, even, sometimes, sarcastic........but never crass. Cheers.

I've been a mod on a few sites, and it's a thankless job ! You need the wisdom of Solomon, the patience of a Saint and the hide of a rhinoceros! You can't please everyone, and those you don't please tend to animosity and hold a grudge. Who wants all that nonsense for a perceived ego boost ? So, in the very unlikely event of me being offered a mods job, I can categorically say that I would politely, but firmly decline. Cheers.
-
LOL ! I would be afraid I'd have a flashback to my former self, and have a blitzkreig, killing fields, scorched earth moment and ban a swathe of miscreants ! Cheers.
-
Ironic, isn't it, that you start a thread explaining why a previous thread is closed, and your thread immediately morphs into the banned thread with exactly the same protagonists ! Cheers

I'm uneasy about freedom to discuss anything, including the vaccine, in a reasonable manner, being curtailed because of the unreasonable behaviour of the minority. Cheers.
-
Deja vu, anyone ? Cheers.

Still used in the Middle East to make a type of "chocolate" and "coffee". Cheers.

Four grams is exactly twenty carats. The ancients weighed things in carats, (the carob seed was of a very uniform weight so was used for weighing, the name morphing into "carat", as used for weighing jemstones). So you could be right, Tomo. Also, Im available for home schooling, that's if you want your kids to learn a lot of useless information ! ?? ! Cheers.

It's a shame, as the pandemic and the vaccine are extremely relevant subjects for discussion. Cheers.

First full day of the U.K. Open yesterday. A few surprises; Anderson went out, Wright, last years World Champion went out. Durrant and Bunting, both BDO World Champions out. Barney out on his televised comeback. I like this tournament as it's re-drawn after each round instead of the "ladder" system of progression. Chizzy and Bully Boy Smith both did well to go through, and both have the skill to win if only they didn't lose their bottle in the later stages. MVG and Price still look to be strong favourites. I guess it's like snooker, you either love it or hate

It's a pub on a council estate that's flouting the Covid lockdown, and a lot of dodgy characters are in , drinking and telling each other conspiracy theories about the government......... bit like a real life THL ! ? ! Cheers.
-
On the macro level, yes, I agree; chaos theory, when a butterfly flaps its wings, etc, etc. But on the micro level, and my circumstances in particular, and not wanting to sound selfish, it won't make a damn bit of difference to my relatively frugal existence ! ? Cheers.
-
I knew it affected limited companies, but if you are a "one man limited company" is there a threshold to be reached before paying the top rate ? Or are you still on PAYE ? If it adversely affects one man type operations, it can't be good. Ive never been self employed, so don't know the mechanics of it . Cheers.

The likes of Starbucks and Facebook will have absolutely no impact on me, but I use Amazon a lot. Did the budget include something that was mooted; an on-line purchase charge, supposedly to make the "High Street" more competitive ? Cheers.
-
Isn't the tax rise from 19% to 25% Corporation Tax ? Isnt that what most people wanted, big business paying more tax on their profits ? Wonder how it will affect the likes of Starbucks, Facebook, Amazon, etc. Cheers.
-
Becoming "cashless" doesn't bother or affect me much, in fact the only place I can think of where I need cash is the animal feed merchants that I use. I find that the more cash I have in my wallet, the more I spend ! Cheers.
-
Isn't that not being phased in until 2023 ? There will be about four budgets by then, now that they have a "budget" and an "autumn review", the economy could have forged ahead, or gone down the pan by then ! Anyhow, I don't think corporation tax will affect most of us ? Cheers.
-
As much as I've studied it, at short notice, I can't see how it affects my life by one iota ! Im asking myself, "What was the point ? ". Does it affect anyone else on here ? Cheers.
-
I don't ascribe to time limited gussets. When a gusset assumes the texture of a corduroy cap, or a suitcase handle, then it's probably time to evaluate its "wearability " and need for replacing or laundering ? Cheers.
