One of my favourite films.

We, the UK, took decades to pay back the debt to the US. I suspect the US also got preferential options to profit from rebuilding Europe too. It makes me sick when politicians keep saying we have a special relationship.

Generally in the UK if it is a connection train you have to run for that train.

Also the right to bear arms has proven to be useless because the argument for this is actually happening without a response.

@jeevunsandher.bsky.social I second this. I often have to use the road due to pavement parking and then get abuse from drivers. Vehicles still have to pull into the incoming lane.

Yeah, and we need to punish all the enablers of this lunatic.

I had to call them constantly and tell them my rights to try and get my refund off them. It should simply be an online request and done. They stall at every step of the way. They also only release part of what they owe and you go through the whole process again for the rest.

My wife and I visited Frampton Marsh yesterday. It was absolutely amazing. I think these are the sort of things everyone needs to experience tbh.

Cleminson Street, Salford. Salford pioneered play streets, traffic-free from 8am till sunset (borrowed from New York) in the 1930s. Legislation followed: there were 700 in England and Wales in the 1950s, all but forgotten by the 1980s.

We had lots of warning that this would happen to give us the opportunity to strengthen ties with EU and remove/reduce the need for resources from US, but, you know it wasn't going to impact the wealthy. So why the rush. I think many of us predicted this a long time ago.

Amazingly this was a flop on release. His follow up film North by Northwest which he fought against changes was his comeback film.

I am type 1 diabetic and have to apply for my driving licence every 3 years. I have an eye test every 2 years. No big deal.

Wow I never thought we would be approaching WW III against Russia and USA. History repeating itself. Wasn't WW II possible due to weak leadership allowing Hitler invade other countries, sending envoys trying to appease him? Will king Charles and William be detained on their visit?

Here we go again. Trump has told the UK that if we want a UK-US tech deal, we need to buy chlorinated chicken from the US! 🤢🐔 How dare he try to impose poor food standards in Britain. Sign the petition to keep chlorine-washed chicken off our shelves: act.38degrees.org.uk/act/chlorine...

Tbh if I don't like it or stop liking a show I assume I am not the target audience. With ST it started well and was interesting, later series seemed a bit bloated, full of cliché. I am an older person and can generally spot the plot. Many people like it though.

I agree some people do need to carry 'stuff' although these vehicles are not great at carrying much stuff. Better off with the older models that can generally carry more.

I don't play those games anymore. When you can only get some cool stuff by being part of a team really irks me. I just don't buy those games anymore.

Which version did you read? I bought my wife the original text version, there are many rewrites. The text takes a lot to understand at times but it's really interesting too

Why would any business oriented on profit do anything unless it is to help keep making profit unless it is made to do so by regulation?

Hmm remember when motor vehicles could only go 20mph? Probably a very similar answer as to why people wanted them to go over that limit.

I always thought Primal Scream were very much anti racist, anti fascist, anti hate considering the posts I used to see from them. I must admit I haven't seen anything by them for a while and they do perform provocative stunts. This confuses me though.

Andy Banshee @andybanshee.bsky.social · 14/12/2025
Not all schools have 20mph zones and drop off zones. Where I live it is chaos caused by bad driving parents. Rules of the road no longer apply. It seems to be the most dangerous part of a child's journey no matter the transport they used.

2.6 km a day is barely anything too. I commute the short distance of a total of 9 km, total cycling time around 25 minutes. So that shorter distance is so doable.

It has also been debunked that pollution will increase. It actually decreases.

I think they were getting annoyed but wasn't prepared to challenge the idiot. I was walking. He had parked at right angle to the exit. Obviously to many drivists, cyclists don't belong on the road.

Andy Banshee @andybanshee.bsky.social · 10/12/2025
Shut the fuck up. I stepped towards him. Why? You are the one being a fucking idiot. He backed off calling me a melt . I made baby crying noises at him. Spineless arsehole.

Andy Banshee @andybanshee.bsky.social · 10/12/2025
What are you looking at? My reply. You. You are an idiot. He was one of those guys who somehow doesn't know how to let their arms hang by their side. You know, elbows out, tight top. You what he answered aggressively. You, you are an idiot blocking people. He stepped towards me, you better...

The other night I dropped off a parcel for Evri pick up at my local garage. When I left there was a guy who parked his van across the forecourt exit so he could be near a cash machine. There was a queue of cars waiting to get out. I just stopped and stared at the idiot. He saw me and asked me..
