Maybe it shouldn't be questioned but why do we have a queue? Wouldn't it have been possible for an on line booking system to have been used? Using say, hourly slots people could book times that were convenient for them knowing that the longest that they would have to wait would be an hour. I suppose that no such system currently exists .... but the death of a 96 year old could have been anticipated and a system could have been developed. It would have required some investment in software .... but the administration of the current system with its miles long queue isn't coming cheap. Is it because the British like to queue??

You can say that again. 😁

Maybe. Let's see. Politically and for PR reasons alone it should be a dead duck. Truss however has said that she is happy with the rich benefiting more from her intended tax cuts than the poor and the idea of removing the cap on bankers's bonuses comes from the same PR disaster zone.

The last 2 fixtures are going to be decisive and our fixtures are easier than Surrey's. Hopefully the relegation issue will have been decided before we play Warwickshire but I would prefer to play them and Kent than Lancashire (away) and Yorkshire.

Yippee. A Brexit benefit !! Banks can now legitimately pay bonuses to their staff of more than 200% of annual salary. Snouts in the trough lads.

Good news. Our friend Alexei is still alive. He has posted on the main forum. I am sure that as I write he is preparing a post amplifying whatever post he finds on Russia Today.

Gay out for 145 and then they came off for bad light!! Don't think that we can complain however. Something similar happened to Northants last week and we didn't complain. Northants are in a good position although the new ball will be due early tomorrow and I don't expect too much from the remaining batsmen.

Yes. My father in law has just returned from a 4 week stay in hospital with similar blotches on his hand . Caused by where he had a canula.

And thrashed Worcestershire in the "title decider" a few weeks before the season ended.

It says so much about her that she did her constitutional duty with 2 prime minister's just a matter of hours before she died. On a lighter note,in my fridge I have a bottle of milk that has seen 2 Prime ministers and 2 monarchs!!

I am putting money on a windfall tax being the first (of many) U turns of this Government. It may not get called a windfall tax but when the electricity and oil companies start to announce record profits yet fuel bills go up, the clamour for a windfall tax will be too loud for any populist government to ignore.

But if she imposed a windfall tax on BP the wife of the ex BP executive may want a return of the £100,000 that she donated to Truss's leadership campaign.

...and increased interest rates leads to increased mortgage rates which in turn leads to more inflation. A vicious circle!!!

Does anyone else now think of Joe Lycett when the Truss sycophants get interviewed? There have been a couple of Tory MPs interviewed today on radio who have rabbitted on about what a great leader Truss is going to make , how the sun shines out of her arse and how her farts smell of roses. I suppose I never took them seriously before but after the Lycett intervention I now just think they are hilarious.

Mad Nad is leaving now to give herself more time to colour, sorry write, books.

It's a known fact that if you join the Tories from LDems your voice gets deeper, more northern and you can only speak in staccato like sentences.

Don't say that. You will upset our friend Alex.

Anyone else noticed that when she starts to lie she starts to blink very fast. Watch her interviews. Out of her depth.

That is one of the great things about being a Saints fan. Wherever you are in the world, if you meet another Saints fan , you immediately have a friend. There are not so many of us. I have met Saints fans in so many unlikely locations - Times Square , New Orleans, Barcelona airport, Singapore. Always a quick conversation and an agreement of "Up the Saints". I cannot imagine that it is the same for fans of the "Big 6".

That Sunday Telegraph prediction is alarming . God help the Conservative party and the country if Truss's first cabinet includes the likes of Mad Nad and JRM . Time to turn the lights off and leave the country if, as sometimes predicted, Redwood and IDS get Cabinet posts. Maybe she will surprise us all and appoint a cabinet of all the talents .....😁

At least we are improving in Batman's eyes. A couple of weeks ago we were definitely going to be relegated. Now it is the bottom 6. I wonder if he has told Bournemouth that they are definitely going to be relegated. You would have thought that he would know that a 9 nil defeat does not mean automatic relegation.

At least we now have a list of the bedwetters on this forum. I hope that you are hanging your heads in shame at the end of the season.

.... and if you can get someone else to pay for the kettle, like Boris would, you can make an even bigger saving.😁

The podcast "The rest is politics" is worth a listen on this subject. Rory Stewart and Alistair Campbell. Stewart was a junior minister in DEFRA (under Truss!!) and explains how we have ended up with this state of affairs. Essentially it comes down to a question of money.
