Airports are weird. I don't think all that many people have a couple of beers with their croissant at half five in the morning even in Glasgow, but in the airport lounge today it seems to be the standard breakfast. Could it be that the EU is to blame??

If you don't vote for the winning party/candidate in FPTP you are throwing your vote away. Vote for whoever you feel best represents you or if none of them do spoil your ballot.

I know that deliverychat is a favourite of this thread; today I had a missed delivery where they didn't even bother to show up at my door. I just got a text from Yodel saying "sorry we missed you", and apparently I'm meant to have a card from the courier. I've been sat here all day and of course there's been no van, no knock at the door and certainly no card. I'd call to complain but I don't want to pay them 5p a minute to do so.

It was an order I made through a third party Amazon seller, I've sent them a polite but disgruntled email and will see what the response is. It isn't something I need urgently and I wouldn't actually care if it didn't show up until next week, but it's pretty annoying to be lied to by their courier service.

quote:the reason that the average person doesn’t see this bonus in their everyday life is because it is pocketed by large companies and the government. quote:so why are some of us still in poverty, and why are there not enough jobs to go round? Apart from that yeah it's really long and people aren't going to read it, although I understand that you want to address as many things as possible. I'd take out the last paragraph on immigration (UKIP are anti-immigration), last three paragraphs in other (environment, cost of living and racism), it doesn't feel like they add a lot but they do make the thing much longer. Then condense the stuff on Farage into one paragraph and move the stuff on jobs up to where you talk about employment.

Virgin were great for me when I had them years back. We signed up for some thing where you paid line rental plus about two pounds a month for their broadband, and they only ever charged us the two pounds. After calling them up a couple of times to sort it out and never seeing any change we gave up and paid under 50 quid for two years of fast internet. If you can get that deal I highly recommend it.

Is there any chance that the Tories and Labour will let up a bit on their anti-immigration spiel now? I know that UKIP's rise seems like it would make them redouble their efforts, but nobody would take UKIP the slightest bit seriously if mainstream parties hadn't been blaming all the country's ills on foreigners and the EU for the last few years.

Half of Union Street seems to have shut down too.

Dance Academy is a lovely building, it's a shame to see it falling apart. I was in JFK's the night it got raided and shut down, came outside and there were police everywhere and they seemed to be fighting and/or arresting half the population of Plymouth. As I recall I dragged my mate away from a punchup and we went to the Dragon Inn for sweet & sour chicken balls, happy days. When I visit now we go out exclusively on North Hill or the Barbican.
