      1. Janet, dreams of an alternate universe

        reminds me of this,
        on Feb. 4, 1912, Austrian inventor Franz Reichelt plummeted to his death from the Eiffel Tower. He launched himself from the tower hoping to show off his new low-altitude parachute, which failed.

      They have been researching it since the 40s; and a commercial fusion power station will happen “in 20 years”. It has been “in 20 years” as long as i can remember.

        This one takes the local biscuit though. It’s announced every year (usually by Coveney), and sometimes twice depending on if there’s an election being run.

        2016 – Enda Kenny turned the sod on the Cork Events centre.

        2018 – Construction begins on Cork Event centre. (No it didn’t)

    The world has gone truly bonkers.
    Pussy punter Kurt Zouma fined £250,000 by West Ham and faces losing his job.
    West Ham ? They’re owned by pornographers who made their money selling bestiality videos and hosing down spunk in their sex shops.
    The poxy French are getting in on the act – apparently he could face up to four years jail time there even though the incident happened in Essex.
    The bleedin’ French ? They eat horses sauteed in a garlic and butter.
    The idiot kicked a cat not let an alsation ride his missus.
    The French would pay good money to watch that on a DVD sold by West Ham.
    Has everyone taken leave of their senses ?

        Tbh Janet I haven’t eaten processed food since I was a poor, hard-up student.
        Fray Bentos steak and kidney pies were a firm favourite.
        I’ve always been very careful about what I put in my body.

            Actually all five when it comes to the French.
            Can’t stand them.
            A bit like your omnipresent hatred of the English on here.
            Get off your knees G-bag.

      Jesus charger
      For the life of me I find you some crude individual
      I wonder how crude do you have to get before badger blocks you .brutality to animals is as bad as child abuse.

      Oh dear oh dear oh dear. Cressida Richard has resigned. No confidence in her leadership.

    easyJet shares up 15% in three days.
    And markets generally buoyant on news Boris has declared the UK to be the first country in the world to drop all COVID restrictions.
    Well done Boris – you’ve lined my pockets with filthy lucre this week.
    A new kitchen for herself and a boys trip somewhere sunny for TenPin.
    Marvellous.

      Ah that’s mighty advice TomPill Terry/Admiral Nelson/Charger Salmons etc etc
      I hope this advice is better than the advice you gave us about wading in to support Donald Trump

            Yeah, it takes time to switch between each subject on Broadsheet. Have you tried the Bluetooth phone test.
