I don't do it so much, but would go canoeing in the summers. The rowing machines not only helped work all the muscles needed, as well as with stamina, but were always available to use.

Glad you weren't the writer of the booklet. That could have led to problems 🙂

A fly past with a coffin would certainly be worth seeing. 🙂

Glad you're kidding. For a moment I thought you had Bibby Stockholm syndrome. 🙂

Gap

I thought he was great in Westworld.

Considering recent headlines of rape, coercive behaviour, drink spiking, toxic masculinity etc, they could do with widening the distribution.

Clearly, they shouldn't be in Bradford when they can speak Italian. 🙂

You post that we shouldn't post anything negative. Then, you're getting the ball rolling, knowing it will just go past him and into the net. Make up your mind. 🙂

2022 survey states Ukraine population was 1% Muslim. Little steps. 🙂

Do you really think we have people here pleased 3 people are dead, and a fourth in a critical condition? I'd hope not. Bit grim if that's the case. Well, they did invade Ukraine resulting in countries taking a lot of refugees. So, technically that counts.

A moment of silence as I retire that one. A comment that has had such long service, it started before the Blue Jays were near a world series. It's a blow to lose that one. But I'm sure my many surviving flippant stereotypes will go on strongly. 🙂

We saw what Rangers fans thought of a system that was a best fit for Baz. Sending him to Celtic would end badly. Sending him on loan to Suspend Your Keeper Above A Shark Tank FC would be a better option than that.

I didn't get past the first 2 pages in a ADHD magazine in the supermarket, before having to conclude that it's something I don't have. I made a spirited defence of thinking that perhaps only managing 2 pages was a sign. But clearly, whatever issues I have, that's not one of them.

Good question. The views often come along with current events. So, there will be a mix. There will be a lot running in parallel again. Examples provided:- Councils run by people from non Christian religions. This will result in their cultural values taking precedent. They will hire like minded individuals, from similar cultural backgrounds, and family. This will shape priorities and policy. Not much different to any other group really. But note the general election, where different cultural backgrounds and alignment to different countries now has an impact. That voting trend then impacts the policies of other parties. So, that's a mix of immigration giving numbers, then self interest and indoctrination. The education one often has similarities with social services. A lot of useful idiots present, happy to embrace any bandwagon going, without realising the implications. See student LGBTQ+ groups for Islam banners. This one is delivered as wokeness at the ground level. But the indoctrination of the educational establishment is a lot deeper. As my acquaintance is on the right, this crosses over into left wing capture too. Social services turning a blind eye to anything that could possibly be seen as having a racial characteristics, is a cross between all those indoctrinated students getting soft skill jobs, aided by policies from higher up, created by other like minded folk. Law enforcement seems to be a bit more sinister. A combination of "woke" ideology, but with a view to not drawing attention to cultural backgrounds. Things enforced from the top. Which somewhere would have political links, although it gets a lot less clear there. You can see how there's no shortage of things to be discussed. Usually in a tide of pent up frustration.
