I can tell you it can be a real pain (mainly to the bank account) as once I try something nice I can’t go back to the cheap not so nice stuff. I’m not a massive food/coffee snob but yeah it’s been over 30 years since I’ve had instant coffee and I’d rather have no coffee than that

Yes and especially on bottles of chilli sauce as you have ones that have labels like “hotter than the sun” and it’s mild then the next time you get a very hot bottle you put loads on and even the chilli heads are “I’ve made a grave error”

That’s a different story I won’t go into in this thread but more a case of the RAF finding any level of work hard going

I’m not sure it’s a possibility (if law changed of course) mainly just that outrage claiming that history is being rewritten when in actual fact all they are doing is giving more of a correct and balanced look at history

All because they don’t want factual information about the past at National Trust sites…… just pretty old building with a cafe & gift shop with no mention of who owned it or where they got their money from

Actually just remembered there was a murder in Colchester outside a nightclub of a soldier and the RMP was involved in that too and questioned us (because we were at that club that night)

Armed Forces can & should investigate serious crimes but it has to be handled correctly. When she reported it to her superiors it should have been handed over to the RMP. There was a rape at a camp I was based at a long time ago in Germany and they handed the investigation

Yeah things do get weird online I’d say that’s just following on from when some Remainers thought the Queen would step in with a new law stopping Britain leaving the EU. Total misunderstanding about the Royal Family’s power past using really large scissors to cut ribbon

Yes I was shocked to hear Russian voices in Barcelona in the summer

Is that to try and keep all the money in Russia with the economy in the state it’s in? I was surprised to read on here in the summer (not sure if it was you) about the rich Russians flying to Turkey then onto many European destinations. Loads of Russian tourists in Egypt too

It’s very strange to think that many economists think at some point the triple lock has to go and there would be a lot of anger to that especially in right wing papers but to try to deliver all of that in one go and think you’d survive in government crazy

Paul killick @paulkillick.bsky.social · 1d

It’s great to see that but is anyone doing any research on the online radicalisation of white men over 45? As there certainly appears to be a lot of men my age who are getting quite vocal with far right views after listening to podcasts or watching YouTube videos (also tictok)

Doesn’t the telegraph think all solicitors are lefty human rights lawyers?

Paul killick @paulkillick.bsky.social · 1d

Pretty sure those and all NHS workers are looking at leaving but because of pay, conditions, toxic environment for immigrants and Brexit so I think the telegraph will stay quiet on that score

Paul killick @paulkillick.bsky.social · 1d

Arhh the telegraph following on from the damage of VAT on private schools will collapse the education system and the classic hit of “all the millionaires will leave and then you’ll be sorry” which also doesn’t happen.

Who needs a guillotine when you can tut loudly in the Home Counties

When you know you’re gonna like the comments before you’ve even clicked on them! I think what makes it even funnier is after Bakeoff did a Gala pie Bluesky was full of yanks talking like that had killed a family

Aren’t the vast majority of Reform supporters English and over 45?
I can’t see Reform winning more than a quarter of the seats in either Scottish or Welsh Assembly. Then everything they do will be judged just like the 4-5 MP’s & all the councillors who keep quitting/suspended

Paul killick @paulkillick.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah if you read above I was trying to stop parallels between the Falklands & Venezuela…… and yeah no thanks on the PM front most of the general public are idiots and I could never be in politics

Paul killick @paulkillick.bsky.social · 2d

I’ve always thought the fanatical fundamentalist right wing US Christians to be a larger threat than any other (mainly because of their links to the US government) but threats are always there and I’m ex Army and I used to the threat levels being high. Also been to the Falklands are talked to locals

Well so far Trump has lost quite a few court cases where the judge that ruled against him was appointed by him. As for the GOP with tariffs hurting and lots of the population losing healthcare, benefits and being very angry they must be thinking about removing him

I’m almost 50 and there’s been speculation over global war for pretty much all of that time (only briefly dropping after the USSR collapsed) there are lots of threats he is just one of them.

Paul killick @paulkillick.bsky.social · 2d

The courts, senate and congress very much have the power to stop him but they are choosing not to. At anytime all it will take is a handful of republican senators to say “fuck this” and it’s over. Yes he’s a threat but he is a rambling old man who looks one cheeseburger away from death

Paul killick @paulkillick.bsky.social · 2d

He really wants it to happen and he wants authoritarian regimes in all countries that allow him to do whatever he wants and not to pay taxes whilst those countries push his unhinged agendas. All U.K. political parties should be calling him out and stopping his influence

I did an experiment and it really doesn’t matter…… yet some people really want it to.

Four scone half’s. Jam on top with butter, on top without butter, cream on top and one when I blended to two together like someone trying to start a war on four sides
