I'm not sure you read it properly if that's your conclusion. She couldn't afford to buy it, or pay the rent. The "reduced" rent was an increase from €430 to €1419 per month. Not sure how any reasonable person can conclude that the old girl was being unreasonable.

I think some posters need to respect that others don't want to go down rabbit holes. Ralph, for example, will swerve one question asking about 3 in response. He may want that wider discussion, but it doesn't mean the bloke being asked the multiple questions should play his game.

It's odd as anything. I'd hazard a guess that Trump was talking nonsense, but, 3 vans with moody sign writing seems a bit much for fuel thieves. As does bomb disposal robots.

I think you're struggling to read the answer mate.

It might not be the answer you wanted, but it answered your question.

The worst news would have been them detonating bombs and causing carnage. Does it make much difference if they were born here, settled here legally, or arrived on a dinghy?

But, but, they were boat people from Iran.

Re highlighted parts. I'd hazard a guess that none of the 64,000 babies and children killed or injured are combatants. "urban warfare" is absolute nonsense. Gaza was completely smashed up, mostly from the air. Official Israeli figures are that over 40,000 targets have been bombed. You've never uttered one word of condemnation for Israel, but maybe just respect that most people have a wee bit of an issue with the sheer scale of their retaliation for the 7 October attacks. Anyways, this has morphed into a lounge subject.

Yep, the prawn ring comment was below the belt, so to speak.

The haribo rings make a sweet alternative, and you can make the dippy kids voices like in the adverts. Apparently.

Fucking traitors, monitoring dinghies and not stopping them. That's NATO done for sure.

There has been no illegal immigration discussion today. None. What we've had is a link to news of an attempted bombing at an RAF base. What you've done is convinced yourself that it's linked to illegal immigration. When there's a credible link (not some random on X or Reddit) to illegal immigration, there's a discussion to be had, but until then it's just nonsense.

Not the Hula Hoops that don't even contain potato, these ones.

It's understandable that Iran would attempt to head off attacks before they start, any nation would if they could. The illegal immigrant link, however, is people feeding their narrative.

Eh? I'm avoiding the discussion! It's been done to death, and goes around in more circles than a hula hoop.

Fair enough, but there's something to be said for speaking up...saying and doing nowt does nowt.

Opposing what's happened and is happening isn't 6th form. It's normal. Whelk has said in the lounge that he feels that people who take a stance against Israel have "inbuilt prejudice". I prefer Baz's position to that.

Unless you're comfortable with what's happening in Gaza/West Bank, why take issue with a person taking a public stand against what's happening.

More destruction and expansionist threats from the apparently non expansionist Israeli regime.

You avoid a question, but pose all sorts of vaguely related (at best) questions, then demand your questions are answered whilst claiming you've answered the initial question.

They'd stay up every single season, and probably scrape a lesser European place also. That's not a proper punishment.

Moses Sesay, who's on loan at Colchester scored two great goals yesterday. Lovely comments from their manager too: "He's going to be some player, that kid."

League 2 for me, but there's an argument for lower. Points just puts them out of the PL for a season, and that's no punishment for what they've done.

Yep. Superb game of football. Best I've watched in a long time.

Not as expansionist as the uber expansionist Israel, does not mean not expansionist. People failing to recognise Israel and it's ambitions for what they are, whilst lecturing others, is a massive irony.
