@Ryan27450801 @nicoinlowercase @Craig49903318 Bit earlier than that!

@nicoinlowercase @Craig49903318 He was singer of Culture Club, they had a hit with Karma Chameleon in 1991.

Can't believe we've got 3 brits this year and the famous one is going be the first brit to not qualify

@colasgrid @VinnieSull1van @BygoneBritain @Britains___Pubs That's amazing, how wonderful.

@bencollier @VinnieSull1van @BygoneBritain @Britains___Pubs A quick google of the family name and Glastonbury suggests the trams still existed in 2022 and still owned by Nigel the son, there are pics on Facebook, the layout seemed to last until the early 2000s!

1950s England was a place where young men had enough time, respect, and patience to pursue or join their loved ones in the type of wholesome hobbies that made the country better as a whole. ♥️⏳️

@FfcLucan "All the people I meet; seem to come from my street"

Who are these 20% of the population who are supposedly voting for the Greens? I’ve genuinely never met anybody who has claimed they’d vote for them?

@Larschezburg @MvelohEnhleh @realMJThompson Well have *you* ever seen them together? 😂

@MvelohEnhleh @realMJThompson Yes, it’s Epstein. He owns a formula 1 team now called “Aston Martin “

Look at his face. It’s so over, gentlemen

@torturedtoffee @afneil Tell that to HMRC.

@afneil If somebody gives you advice but it's bad advice, how is that YOUR fault?

If McSweeney has to resign because he advised Starmer to appoint Mandelson why does Starmer not have to resign for actually taking the decision to appoint Mandelson?

@TedBuddy8 Absolutely horrible

Wow what a soft taunting penalty on the Seahawks, it was 4th and 12 for the rams, right next play Rams score a touchdown

@Hedgehog1963 @therealmissjo Because it is.

This is exactly what it was like growing up in the 1980s. I don’t think we realised how good it was for children. Children have so much oversight and monitoring today.

@ghosted0192 @Aelthemplaer @grok If it's any help - it's about how an empire treats its peripheries. The late Roman Empire neglected its outer provinces, expecting taxes but not offering defence. It led to the provinces building independent capabilities, which neutralised later attempts at asserting authority.

@Aelthemplaer @grok please explain what this post is talking about

If you guys read Charles Paul Minor's 1976 thesis, you would entirely understand what is happening politically in the United States, and how this ends.

@LeavesOfOrange @implausibleblog It was Macmillan. Our own nuclear deterrent "Blue Streak" couldn't be launched quickly enough and was based at specific sites which could be targeted and destroyed. The US replacement, Polaris, could be launched from submarines. France took a different line and are better off.

@implausibleblog What retard decided it would be a good idea to not have an entirely independently made and maintained nuclear deterrent? I mean how fucking stupid do you have to be?

Robert Peston, "Your entire approach is predicated on the idea that Donald Trump is amenable to reason, and respects the rule of law" "But it's patently that neither of those two assumptions are true" "So when will you consider some kind of economic retaliation through tariffs" "And will you talk to the Monarch, The King, about not going to America to celebrate 250 years of independence?" Keir Starmer, "Well, Robert, umm, this is a serious situation" "Threatening tariffs on allies is the wrong thing to do completely" "And a trade war is not in our interests" "It is in our nation interest to continue to work with the Americans when it comes to defence, security and intelligence" "Our nuclear deterrent requires us to have a good relationship with the United States"

@grok @mr_common_sent @Nigel_Farage For clarity, Diego Garcia is on the Chagos Islands.

Diego Garcia is a British-owned atoll in the Indian Ocean, leased to the US for a major military base since the 1960s. Farage seems to suggest that if the US worries about Greenland's strategic vulnerabilities (e.g., to foreign powers), it should reconsider relying on UK territory for its own key assets amid the tariff dispute.

We don’t always agree with the US government and in this case we certainly don’t. These tariffs will hurt us. If Greenland is vulnerable to malign influences, then have another look at Diego Garcia.

@Dr_Robert_Lomas hi - I'm based in Stockport, and was wondering if it might be possible to visit Coronation in Runcorn. I can't find contact details online. I'm with Mellor 3844.

@Kaffekone @innovateonward @ShadowofEzra They really aren't. Those would be grounds for being thrown out of the masons.

@innovateonward @ShadowofEzra The freemasons working for the police are supposed to let other freemasons off the hook or sweep their crimes under the rug.

Freemasons are seeking an emergency injunction from the High Court to block a new Metropolitan Police policy that would require them to disclose their membership in the organization. They have filed legal papers in London, arguing the policy amounts to “religious discrimination” against Freemasons. Police officials say anyone who is, or has been, part of a hierarchical organization that requires members to support and protect one another must declare it.

@BarclaysUKHelp @carlosmagnorosa Hi @BarclaysUKHelp I'm having the same problem, happy to pop to DMs - I can't get to a human who can solve the problem on the phone, and everything else tells me to use the app, which doesn't work, obviously!

@gamesyouloved "It looks like it was built by a blind Bulgarian bricklayer!"

The BBC Micro What do you think of when you see this?

@ArthurMuir1901 @GoodwinMJ Entirely possible this is being driven partly by votes at 16.

@GoodwinMJ Who on earth are the 15% voting for Zack Polenski's Greens? They live amongst us....

Wow - look at Labour! Reform 32% Tories 17% Greens 15% Labour 15% Source - FindOutNow 15th October 2025

@joachimwernerss @paulg @SenMarkKelly That's almost impossible to police.

@paulg @SenMarkKelly Isn’t it pretty simple? Members of congress can’t share sensitive information with their investor spouse. The same way that a therapist can’t share what their clients say in sessions.

It’s pretty simple: to stop insider trading in Congress, we need to ban members of Congress from trading stocks.

@lucastech @paulg @SenMarkKelly There would need to be a clause along the lines of "if your trading activity results in the disclosure of privileged information, an offence has been committed".

@paulg @SenMarkKelly Instead of banning, it should be full transparency. If you/family make a trade, it becomes public knowledge immediately. The problem is that they have to file some 1990s style paperwork to disclose, which do they don't for years, and they don't get punished for it.

@MuseumCommodore I'll wait for Commodore themselves to release an FPGA-based machine. They'll need to negotiate some rights but I don't want a software emulation, I want real hardware.

(1) Are you planning to buy Retrogames Ltd's full size 'TheA1200' upon release? (2) What price would you be willing to pay for it? (What price should it be?) (3) Did you own a Commodore Amiga 1200 back in the day?
