Unless it's your own in which case you made a terrible choice I suspect.

Most of the trouble with the police could be avoided if people didn't break the law in the first place.

I have to disagree. My car wouldn't start and jumping it from my phone battery had no positive effect.

Higher education is woefully inefficient and in need of reform.

With what is now known, we can see capitalism won't work. But nobody wants to talk about it.

What about them?

Scott.

I dislike typing on them. I dislike social media which seems to be the most popular use for them. I dislike the common assumption that everyone has them. I dislike seeing people using them while driving. I could go on...

I agree with everything you have said...but I love mobile phones :D

...or just have more crisps.

Middle/old-aged white males are the only remaining socially acceptable target for being the butt of jokes, negative media stereotypes, and structural discrimination.

Doorstep clapping for the NHS (or any cause) is excruciating nonsense and not all of the 1.5 million NHS staff are 'heroes'.

And especially so if they're English.

And even more especially so if they're from the South....

Snorvey wrote:When Trump was addressing a rally last night he said: (of COVID19, paraphrasing)

'It has many different names.....Wuhan Virus......Coronavirus......'

Then some redneck in the audience bawled out..... 'KUNG FLU!!!'

Trump smiled, even laughed before repeating what the redneck had said.

'Yes, yes...Kung Flu' he said pointing and nodding at the audience member



....Which, although completely inappropriate, made me chortle into my porridge oats.



That's about the limits of Trump's humour: abusive and not particularly funny, in this instance he didn't even come up with the joke!


Snorvey, you are NOT Donald Trump and I claim my £5!

You are safe if you're not straight and/or have ginger hair.

Hang on, I just realised that I've misinterpreted this whole thread as being the 'popular opinions that can't be stated' thread. Sorry OP/mods.

James Blunt is quite a good singer and his music is catchy.

A positive aspect of Coronavirus is that it has accelerated the demise of many elderly people whose lives were miserable.

Don't create children unless you have made adequate provision and are willing to sustain them into adulthood.

Inheritance tax should be scrapped. Inheritance should be treated as income and subject to income tax and national insurance.
