But it doesn't stop him doing what he does. Just as I'm sure he'll make more threats to the Fed director to stop further rises and even reverse the latest one. It all reminds me of the ASA issuing statements and rulings when advertisers don't care they can't run a controversial or misleading ad...

Is that still true of anything these days? Trump seems to just declare whatever he likes and everyone goes along with it. I'm sure he's going to try something illegal and if he gets told no, he'll blame Biden.

Never used BP or Shell facilities so far. No intention of doing so unless it's an emergency.

Who runs the tech stores at airports now? Not even sure what they're called or how many airports still have them at all. If not Dixons, I know WH Smith also has electronics at some locations? The only time I've ever felt the need to buy anything was a cheap pair of 'emergency headphones' but I...

I don't think the average Reform voter is as worked up about Commonwealth members, compared to those they see coming on the boats. I would also still question the assumption that they'd all come in and vote Labour to be given everything for free as was always suggested. It's only now Reform...

If you get an Electroverse card, always check for plunge pricing when there's a lot of solar or wind. Solar might be getting worse now for the upcoming winter months, but wind is likely to be strong (literally) and 20 and 30% discounts can be announced at relatively short notice even in the...

For years, the thinking was that Labour wanted to bring in immigrants because they'd vote Labour. Now, unless they come UK citizens (doing the necessary tests) they can't actually vote in a general election, but why let facts get in the way of outrage? More recently it seems that the thinking...

What happened to those Med Beds that the Republicans all believe exists?

The fabric (antimacassars) gets torn off on some services (particularly common on 700s that go to Sevenoaks, where it's declassified anyway) and you'll sometimes see them deposited elsewhere on the train.

They're all thin skinned. Take Danny Tommo who cried when stopped in his car for trivial things like illegally tinted glass, no insurance and more. He cried online and set up a gofundme that raised about £30k in no time. His supporters talking of two-tier policing and implying it's unfair...

I sometimes jump over the 'please prepare to move your trolley off the end of the travelator' sensor to stop this message playing, when I don't have a trolley of course. Not sure that would be a good idea on an escalator though!

In an ideal world, the heckler would be given a chance to speak and the people on stage would be able to respond (and like any comedy night with a heckler, the person on stage has the benefit of the microphone). Otherwise you coerce the person to leave, using minimum force (i.e. not strangling...

People are conned into buying into crypto all the time, and even Trump got involved along with his wife and many other powerful and influential people. The meme coin trend is particularly egregious, as many buyers know it's a scam but want to try and make money before it goes bust. Like a...

Yes.

Over 10 drivers out and a number of mostly 700s out for repair (two trains involved in just one incident, with one having damage to the side of the train and an incursion into first class) and now a 379 with the latest. The number of people hit by trains on just one route has been quite...

Built by 2030 and all the hardware and software issues fixed by 2034?

Bloody Joe Biden!

Another fatality involving a GN train now.

Isn't giving everyone $5000 akin to communism? And what would that do for inflation, when we're always told you can't give payrises to people (companies are fine - they need the extra income...) because of inflation.

There are lots of driver and train shortages now due to what appears to be an exceptional number of people hit by trains between London and Cambridge (as well as yesterday a Peterborough train involved in an incident south of the river) in a relatively short space of time. I believe some 10...
