TIMON

Macron called Brexit "a crime" and has promised to his bit to punish Britain with harsh consequences for daring to leave the EU. Not much to celebrate there then. Timon.

The best in ear defenders I have used are the Boots muffles wax ear plugs. They seem to block the most noise out and are super comfy and just a couple of quid for a few pairs. Also they don't chafe your ears like the foam ones can. Timon.

Oh! Contraire! I find it brings much needed comedy to British Politics. It's all harmless fun, really. 🤡 Of course, if they actually had any slight chance of getting elected then it would be more concerning. But as it stands it provides an amusing sideshow.

To Susan Edwards and her guide dog: "Do you know, they have eating dogs for anorexics now". [emoji38] Timon.

Shame.... he came out with with some "classics" in his time. [emoji850][emoji850] Timon.

Whatever you do, don't keep re-applying antiseptic creams. They can end up "feeding" the necrotising bacteria. Like Stubby says, get to the doctors. Hope you heal up quick. Timon.

No surprises there then. Timon.

Looks like nice gear. Only down the road from where I was born. [emoji106] Timon.

The EN 1891-A is the correct standard for Arb work PPE. Do you know the name of the manufacturer and does it have a CE mark? Date of manufacture/first use is also important to know. I would definitely want to be sure of the manufacturer as everything gets copied these days and just because something has a "label" with a spec list on it, doesn't necessarily mean it's genuine. Hope this is helpful. Timon.

How would you try to sort the problem out? Timon.

Bomb who less frequently? (Hard to sort out the worlds problems from the comfort of a bank holiday sofa) I think if you are going to get involved in a war then you have to have a decent strategy, only Russia seems to have a clear objective in this case. Arming and training Islamic extremists out of convenience has shown itself to be a poor strategy over the decades and it has come back to bite us more than once. Just using air strikes is of limited effectiveness on its own. Hard to get support for a full blown war since Tony Blair (mis)lead us into Iraq. When the allies took on nazi Germany they were fully committed to the comprehensive defeat of the nazis and committed to the rebuilding of Germany . Understandably no one has the stomach for that level of military commitment anymore. One of the biggest failings in this whole sorry saga has to be the ineffectiveness of the UN. The UN is totally impotent and seems to be distracted into spending all its energies trying to further persecute Israel, the only true democracy in the Middle East. Personally, I think that European borders should be reinstated (they were never removed with the intention of mass migration ) In my honest opinion...The UN should get its act together and create well protected and adequately resourced safe zones in the Middle East. Then look at who should be supported in governing the region. People migrate because they have lost hope and who can blame them. Timon.

Good post. It is a shame that more isn't being done to create incentives to stay and re-build or stay and develop the countries that people are fleeing from. If mass migration was halted then people (government, aid agencies, NGO's and community groups) would have more incentive to improve the places they live in. At this rate there won't be anyone left in these places except those who are too poor to leave. The only people left will be the poor, uneducated and the unskilled. Timon.

Nice work. How did you hang the gate on the concrete posts? Timon.

I suffer from the year round variant, rhinitis. Before I found a way of treating it, it was miserable. Nose running like a tap, red itching eyes and a raspy cough. (Think it might be a dust mite allergy). I tried loratadine which didn't touch it, then I tried Cetirizine which is really effective. I take one at bedtime so any drowsiness will work in my favour. Timon.

Especially in regards to the wire gate climbing caribiners. [emoji848] Timon.

Another horror story courtesy of the spread Islam in the western world. I just wondered if anyone out there wanted to defend these apparently common and increasing practices? Opinion: Phyllis Chesler: FGM is illegal in the United States. So why is it still happening here? - Fox News https://apple.news/AhpsWLLFUQLqAm5H6QYdlPg Of course, it's only a tiny minority that do this kind of thing.....really? For instance, the vast majority of Egyptian femails are victims of these crimes. am I being "islamaphobic" or racist when I start to think that Islam really is a cancer on the civilised world? Timon.

Force them to convert to Jehova's Witnesses. If not, it's off with their heads!! (Or pay a jizrya tax). Timon.

Jonny... is it me or is that ram slightly bent? If it is it would explain a lot.. Timon.

So what would we suggest that the next President of France do to tackle The spread of crime, poverty and violence in France. Wherever it comes from? I ask this as a serious question because it seems that a lot of the proponents of fundamentalist Islam use "tolerance" and "political correctness" as shields to hide behind and sticks to beat western culture with. Is it possible to make an honest assessment of the core tenets of Islam with its major doctrines (e.g implementation of sharia law and the call to jihad) and make a value judgement based on that? If we can see it for what it is in the plain light of day surely we should be able to "call it out" and show it some "tough love" on account of it being incompatible with western cultural norms in its fundamentalist form. For the record, I don't hate muslims but I do hate the spirit that lurks behind fundamentalist Islam. Timon.

It's high time the British Government started asking honest questions of Islam. For instance, get the facts out into the open. What really is at the core of Islamic teaching? These are the questions that need asking, imo. Sadly, no one seems willing to take a look.... perhaps the truth is a bit unpalatable? I'm not saying all Muslim people are bad but the way I see it, Islamic ideology is very dark. It's a bit like introducing poison into your home, how far do you have to dilute it until you are prepared to keep it on the shelf or drink it? Can it ever be a "good" thing? " by their fruit you shall know them" Timon.

I would of thought you'd choose Pilate! Timon.

More of the same then..... Timon.
