I worry about Alzheimer's a lot ! But I've decided to forget about it.

I'm in....And I've emailed my MP......Just to annoy him !

Obama deleted the whole list of countries , trump relisted them That doesn't get away from the fact that the list was compiled by the Obama administration.... get ur facts right it was bush My facts ARE correct. The seven countries listen as "a threat to national security" was compiled by the Obama administration. Bush referred to the "axis of evil", but that included North Korea.....and Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan etc etc -

Why are the liberals bleating and demonstrating about this, as if he's just pulled it out of thin air ? This policy was a key part of his campaign manifesto and , lo and behold, he's carrying out his word ! There is, in my view, a deliberate attempt to distort this policy beyond what it actually is, and portray it as something more sinister..... The executive order, signed by the President, does not contain the word "muslim", or the word "ban" ! This is a temporary restriction, while new vetting procedures are arranged and put into place. The seven named countries were previously

I was always of the idea that State visits are at the invitation of Her Majesty ? Either way, we've laid on a welcome for much more dubious characters than Mr Trump ! Emperor Hirohito, Nicolai Caucescau, Vladimir Putin, Idi Amin, Robert Mugabe, to name just a few. To cancel the visit would send completely the signals to the rest of the world....Can anyone seriously contemplate cancelling a state visit by an incumbent American president ? Seriously ?
-
Is it actually a "Muslim ban", or do the restrictions apply to EVERYONE from the designated countries ?
-
I might be wrong, but aren't State visits made at the invitation of Her Majesty ? And, in fairness, we've paid out the red carpet to much more dubious characters....Emperor Hirohito, Nicolai Caucescau, Vladimir Putin etc etc
-
I completely understand why and what Trump is doing, but it hasn't been thought through - it's a good idea, badly executed ! There are too many anomalies - for instance, initially MP Nadhim Zahawi would have been effected, but not London mayor Sadiq Khan...... The "Muslim ban" is actually a temporary suspension of travel visas, and I hope Trump uses the time to clarify and fine tune what could be a worthwhile policy !

I do not support, encourage or condone violence....by anyone. Two people have been arrested and I hope they will be punished to the limit of the law.

I'd love to see a comeback of offal etc We are absolute food nazis in our house, not health freaks or anything just hate processed food and love cooking everything from scratch. It's a massive shame so many young people cannot cook, my brothers and I were all brought up to cook, clean, iron and do household jobs I've got a packet of tripe in the freezer. Gift from my Hungarian mate......Love it ! When I were t'lad, we either had tripe and onions or liver on a Thursday - we were skint til my dad got paid the next day !

Early 80s 57p for 10 JPS Amazing that in those days they wouldn't think twice about selling fags to a 10 year old lol When I was a boy, my sainted mum used to send me to the shop for her fags...."and when he gives them to you, say Can she pay you Friday ?" !
-
My first pint cost 37p and 20 fags were 61p.....1979 !

"Why the f*** do I want a caravan that's got no f***ing wheels ?"

Copy some up for us, Nik..... I could do with a good laugh !

I like to watch "The Chase", and I've GENUINELY heard these answers..... "The nurse known as the Lady of the Lamp was Florence who ?" "Er...Smith ?" "Who was the winning commander at the Battle of Waterloo ?" "Hitler ?" "What nationality was Captain Cook, the discoverer of Australia ?" "American" And probably most shamefully..... Who was British prime minister during World War 2 ?" "Pass....." If they'd been asked who won X Factor in 2012, they would probably have romped home ! There is no hope for us.......

didnt Tom crean carry a man on his back that collapsed for 11 odd miles through snow and blizzards on one of the expeditions. I thought I read that somewhere maybe I have it wrong. One hardy skin of a man either ways was the book written about him called the unsung hero , I read extracts of it a very good read. It's an excellent book, and one I'd recommend - he was a truly remarkable man.

The media is to blame really, explorers and great builders used to be household names, now people are famous for having improbably huge arses like that Kardashian woman. I think that's true, mate. When we have awards for "Best TV presenter" and a myriad of 'celebrities' whose only claim to fame is their own fame, achieved via a series of so-called reality programmes, we are indeed in a sorry state !

so how do I load kodi cheers I think you need a PC to load it onto a Firestick. If you've got an Android device , you're away ! Just install a complete build.

Brill that , great little read , your right not many men like him to day are those husky pups he holding in that pic in your avatar .? Yes mate. Although Scott didn't use dogs on his journey - he said it was "ungentlemanly", and preferred horses ! Three good books and web pages about Cream. That story is just the best known - he survived many remarkable adventures !

I would nominate the man shown on my avatar, and a hero of mine,Tom Crean. He travelled to Antarctica three times, including Scott's ill-fated final expedition. He accompanied Captain Scott, right up to the last leg, when he and others were sent back, and Scott and a small party continued on. Here is a brief recount of what happened..... "....They trudged and hauled across 230 miles of the Polar Plateau, then 120 miles down the Beardmore Glacier encountering numerous dangers, and near death experiences, before the final 400 miles, across the Barrier, stood between them and the sanctua

As an actor, absolutely untouchable ! His performance as "The Elephant Man" remains astonishing and genuinely moving, to this day. RIP

He is as polarising a figure over here as he is over there, mate....You either love him or hate him ! Whatever view you have, he seems determined to keep his pledges, and I think that is a rare thing these days.... I hope he gives the American people what they need, and that he can leave behind a lasting benefit - he can also do us all a favour by making the West's relationship Russia more stable !
