I have yet to work how to tell my watch I don’t give a fuck about decibel levels. Don’t need an alert every time we score at St Mary’s Or when the missus is trying to blame me for something!

As said tbf to Ralph he is always polite. Also have called him a cunt a fair few times before 😀 -
They seem to be crap at executions - staggering that someone can survive two lethal injections when cyanide capsules seemed to work perfectly well 80 years ago. Surprised MAGA lot haven’t lobbied for the more effective guillotine or firing squad.

It was the outpacing rate ie rising dramatically faster. It is not a case of hard work not being rewarded - what planet are you on if you think that doesn’t exist in the UK? I sympathise a little on public sector bloat but most of them won’t be earning great salaries. I really think you have a defeatist attitude - times are hard for many no doubt and when people tighten their belts clearly some businesses will be adversely impacted as disposable income shrinks. Politics of envy? I’ve been on higher tax rate pretty much all of my career. Not one of my family has claimed one penny in benefits. Only ever had child benefit that ceased as soon as means tested - so would very much say I was a net contributor. However I don’t see everyone on benefits as scroungers, although of course some are. Most people aspire to earn more and very few sit back and think they will have a life of Riley on benefits, they just hope for opportunities. As often said so many adverse factors affecting society, many outside of any political control. You seem not to be able to grasp that. Those with assets are benefiting far more than those without, year on year, but you seem to the think it is moving towards an equilibrium as the poor are taking your money. -
Fair to say that as a passenger that would truly be a shit yourself moment: plummeted 17,000ft (5,200m) in less than two minutes

Presumably as myopic as you, struggling to understand economies and the part global shocks play, not commies taxing you and the working class claiming benefits? You crave a society where you keep everything and that is idealogical, nothing to do with being a businessmen. What are your thoughts on CEO salaries out pacing typical workers pay by something like 20 times in 2025? Is that the commies? -

It was said ironically but why did I know that would pass you by? -
All joking aside it is only a few idiots that bang on about echo chambers, there are a mass of subjects where there is plenty of agreement and disagreement. Reasonable people will give Burnham a chance. The GM News brigade get so excitable and love highlighting failure. I know a stereotype but is in keeping with people who haven’t achieved much in life.

Betrayal? you guys just love dramatic words. I’m sure you were a balanced swing voter before -
I find you the more reasonable one. Your mate, the delusional brainwashed gimp, is just not worth debating with. commies and lefties? You guys are in the dark ages and need to get out more.

That is mental to be asking, should be kicking some off. I am sure I have ADHD to some degree - aware some absolutely need adjustments and possibly medication but so many will have some traits and just cope
