Re: Bye bye Starmer

WhatsApp, Instagram, SnapChat, YouTube, then XBox Live

I meant to ask earlier, I presume you don't think the banning of advertising of high sugar and fat foods to under 16''s goes far enough. I presume that while you may only give your boy the occasional bag of crisps or chocolate bar, because some ...

Re: Bye bye Starmer


sounds familiar.


Nope, not the way my son has used his phone, xBOX and iPAD. He maintains excellent connections with his aunts, uncles, and cousins in Ireland and further afield, has built up an near encyclopaedic knowledge of sports statistics, something he's very passionate about and has an ...

Re: Bye bye Starmer


Because as a society we set all sorts of rules and limits for what is acceptable based on risk - Driving, drinking, smoking, school attendance, sexual consent, etc… Once upon a time all those were without rules too, the world changes.


I don't think it's quite the same though - 80% of 90% of 14 ...

Re: Bye bye Starmer

I can see your point...

You're banned... Now clean yourself up and we might lift the ban

but then again,

Clean yourself up... or else you'll be banned

would achieve the same goal but not throw the baby out with the bath water

Re: Bye bye Starmer

We shouldn't just take the easy way out though because it's hard.

I absolutely refuse to believe the social media companies can't do significantly better - they just don't because a. It costs money and b. no-ones really making them.

Instagram Algorithms are almost supernatural in the way they ...

Re: Bye bye Starmer

Bottom line is this...

Rather than go into battle with the tech giants, Politicians have passed the buck over to parents to manage the fallout from this while at the same time 'appearing to care about the yoof: while at the same time, allowing the tech and social media companies free rein to ...

Re: CCTV Recorder

Well done mate... it's a great feeling fixing something you have no place fixing... :lol:

Having said that, given the cost of lawyers time, it probably would have been cheaper to buy a new house with a working CCTV set-up... ;)

I may have mentioned previously but in my test, I made a right turn instead of the left the tester had instructed. :lol: Guess I was just stressed and nervous. The right turn was harder than the left and I executed it, albeit in the wrong direction, perfectly. Besides, I think the tester had already ...

Re: Decent Recent TV


Mr Inbetween always looked good on Social Media clips but never had the channel.

Recently got Disney + through Sky so gave it a go.

Only 2 episodes in but really good. Ray’s the definition of quiet menace


Finished the 3rd series on Sunday - it really is a very good series - hilarious and ...
