Second moan is about review websites. I was looking for a recommended product and a reputable website offered one of those '10 greatest thing you want' lists. After reading through it though it was all Amazon affiliate linked products that they didn't seem to have actually tried but just read the fake Amazon reviews
Or you could go to the which review and read the preamble and the shadow of a series of reviews with just the score no words and the model blacked out. It annoys me more when which reviews come up early in your Google search. Even more annoying than the affiliate links to amazon when you just want to see the prices at the time of the review.
Wild Edges mine has increased by £32 a month. I did all the comparison sites in July when my 12month fixed rate deal ended, could only save £33pa,so desided not to switch to a smaller company,thank God! Watching the news last night,saying all new gas boilers banned from 2033. We hardly produce a vast amount of Co2 in this country,compared to India,China. That flaming Greta Angry bird, screaming and ranting at our country. Let's reverse The Industrial Revolution! I see the public are sick of Insulation Rebellion, the head moron talking s***on the news. OK hopefully that's me done for today!!
Peter Oborne opinion piece! Keeps banging on about funding. No party is clean if they have external funding, as in not from pure membership. You think union funding is benign for Labour? Personally I'd like to see all external funding to from party politics and less money available to parties. Direct individual membership funding and a small state funding only. That is the only way external corrupt influences like lobbyists, unions and wealthy donors can be stopped.
As to not being the party of x, y or z. Jeez how outdated! Does he really think the old working class exists as the Labour voting block it once did? Laughable opinion. How the heck can such a block vote for tories across the North of England? Don't the Scottish tories have more representation at all levels of Scottish politics than Labour? A more socialist part of UK.
Sorry but the voting public are as self interested as the wealthy donors or union barons. If they see Labour not doing anything and tories do get things done locally they will vote tory and hold their nose about the Eton, about the donors, etc. Time for socialists to grow up. Also time for conservatives to grow up and take over the centre ground. Eff the ERG and their ilk!
Hubby moaning not exactly shouting,came into bedroom, light on! It was 6am when I gave up and got up, so God knows (phone just typed "bless him') e r,NO!! what time he actually came in,enquired,our dog had apparently p**** and s*** "everywhere",he was checking the bedroom. Me, maybe 25 years of night nursing, would have crept in with a torch! Was talking to my daughter on the phone yesterday evening, said dog was standing by dog flap, occasionally I lock it, checked it was fine. Didn't think anymore about it. He wouldn't go out of it. I put him out this morning at stupid 0 clock,he wouldn't come back in it. No idea what's going on there!
Hopefully the dog simply ate something it shouldn't have, but the combination of incontinence and acting in a way which is not normal for the animal can be an early sign of dementia. I would just keep a close eye on the dog for any repetition.
@Nanny Beach. We cancelled our Sky last year, no problem did it on line the next day they phoned asking why, too expensive, can’t afford it, so they offer a cheap package, I said you’re too late should have done that before. Bought a Manhattan box for recording, the only think we don’t have is sky gold.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
KT53, it wasn't diarrhoea, just a normal poo, unfortunately a big wee,and we have laminate. Our last dog who was 17 way over the average collie age,had dementia,but there's nothing you can do about it. I got the daily papers yesterday morning,put them on the conservatory. Took the dogs on the beach, just got out the car, couple of ladies I know going by, having a chat,hubby walked by,our garage is in a block down a sliproad, thought he's going there, NOPE he went and bought the papers, granted he hadn't seen I had already got them. Am slinging him out the dog flap!!

I wonder how awful someone has to be to be considered too rotten to be a Tory donor?
@Hostafan1 - Tory donors are vetted as per rules laid down by the last Labour govt, so that's all right.
I feel like we are living in the last days of the Roman empire. The corruption is so open but the people don't seem to care. The only possible opposition outside of a coalition is eating itself while its leader is rehearsing the Tony Blair songbook. Whilst our economy collapses and we have more and more people on the breadline (whilst the naked emperor declares how wonderful that we have so many jobs now and employers are putting up wages) the most pressing of problems affecting our planet is relegated to our watching that nice David Attenborough and tutting over that silly schoolgirl, those silly people gluing themselves to the road and arguing among ourselves and just how much fuel Greenpeace uses in getting its boats to the areas of the world where it tries to block deep sea drilling.
We keep shooting messengers and then being surprised when the thing they were warning us about actually happens.
