Weston Super Saint

I didn't notice you were gone....

Presumably they hadn't previously tested positive for Covid...

I'm sure a certain someone will be along any minute claiming you know nothing about 'excess deaths', blah, blah, blah.

I can see a new game show format for Channel 4. If she can make it back to Dover then she can get her passport back and her day in court. They could call it 'race across (half) the world', but in this version the contestant(s) don't get given any money...

Why bother with the trial if you're going to lock her up for 30 years anyway? Seems a waste of money.

It was West for five years for me. I did spend six months 'East' though during the summer. It rained every single day. Miserable.

It'll be fine, different rules up North

I wonder how many people in the country actually knew that there was a headstone in a graveyard in Wales that had the dog's name on it before yesterday? I didn't and I doubt more than a huundred people in the whole of the UK knew before it was plastered on the news. It's caused zero harm for over 50 years.

I wasn't expecting any tangible changes. I believe I even stated that the protests were 'pointless' in that respect at the time. Why on earth would there be law changes, we already have laws that protect against racism. They don't need to be changed.

Why aren't there any more Black Lives Matter / kick it out / anti racism protests? It seems weird that a movement which resonated so deeply to so many people just 6 weeks ago, spurring tens of thousands of people to attend protest marches up and down the country, should fizzle out so quickly. It's almost like a skate hero to zero swingometer. Does this mean that we have now beaten racism in the UK so marches are no longer needed? Or has the need for virtue signalling finished and 99% of the protest marchers are happy to go back to their white priveledge lives safe in the knowledge that they have 'done their bit'?

That aged well.

I'm not one for his 'aesthetics' and think it's a bit 'old hat' now, but I do enjoy the messages. I guess that's the thing about art though, it can still be enjoyed even if we don't like what we see...

..."Queen lost head"??

I don't want to call anyone thick....

Nice one Jeff. Another classic

Meh, I guess we can consider it 'what goes around, comes around' where dim tim is concerned

You know they've printed maps on paper for many years right? You also know that google maps uses GPS rather than data, right? Granted you need to plan a route and that will need data, but you can do that before you leave, connected to wifi I've never made a call from a riverbank or mountaintop (whilst abroad), no. When doing those things I've been on holiday, with the people who I would want to share the experience with so no need to make a call. I've taken pictures whilst there though, but your phone doesn't need data or wifi for that. No need to be bitter because you got stung for roaming charges because you didn't know how to turn roaming off, it's OK, we all thought you were a bit dim anyway so no-one thinks any less of you.

And if they do, no doubt people will switch to using internet based apps to avoid roaming charges as mentioned previously. It's also possible to avoid roaming charges with a little bit of thought. I've owned a mobile since 1993 and travelled extensively throughout Europe and beyond in that time. Not once have I paid a penny in roaming charges. It's really not that difficult to do.

When you mention 'pack', do you really mean 'getting close to half full'?

The new forum has a much better search tool than the last one did

Shhh, don't let a good moan about brexiteers be ruined asking for actual evidence!

Surely if you're travelling to the EU for work you'll use your work phone so if there are charges, someone else will pay. If you're travelling to the EU for a holiday, here's a thought, why not switch the mobiles off and enjoy some time off? Who knows what you'll discover. Having said that, pretty sure the world has moved on from the time of roaming charges when mobile companies could fleece their customers without complaint. The first mobile company that tries to re-introduce them is likely to be signing their own death warrant! Even if they all decided to introduce them at the same time, the development of the internet has far surpassed roaming charges with pretty much every pub, restaurant, cafe and beach bar across Europe offering free wi-fi, people will just use internet based calling / texting and not their mobile data plans - well apart from your wife's mates who don't appear to be the most colourful crayons in the box. (pretty sure Jeff's wife also used to have a couple who were friends and voted to leave, Jeff didn't want anything more to do with them after that though! Must be just a coincidence ) Any more 'project fear' anecdotes?

Yes. It's ecuk that seems to be struggling with this concept. HTH.

Laws such as this? As I stated previously, the laws already exist. Enforcing them is the issue that needs to be addressed....

If they're the ones who said they are going to leave the UK and go and live in the EU, then yes.
