Anybody here think that it might be better for your body and soul to engage in conversation relating to love and pleasure rather than indignation, outrage, condemnation, hatred and spiritual and...
I'm surprised that there's no post here about the alleged BBC scandal. Do ABers think that Princess Di's interview was forced by Bashir, or vice versa? How does the 'gutter press' come out of all...
Does anyone else here feel, as I do, that it's so nice not to have the old Troll-in-Chief daily whipping up his wannabee trolls to retroll pro Russian/Chinese/blablabla propaganda, in the sad belief...
Our Vaillant was recently repaired by replacing the main PCB. The engineer left the old one with us. Are there any bodies who repair and re-sell such things?
I thought they sounded lovely, but having had a couple I now think they are awful. Emptying them involves clouds of smoke-like dust going everywhere. The filters get clogged up and need to be tapped...

I'm overstating my feelings, but I do find them pretty awful. I don't understand the appeal of caterwauling cats, and 'saucy Jacks', and phantoms of the opera; all got laboured plots and casts of...
