    Bean To Cup Coffee Machine

    I've not had them for a while but when I have they're great. Are they worth the money? Hmm. You decide. As regards machines, I've been around the houses and if for domestic reasons I had to choose I'd have a French press and ground coffee of my choosing. If there were still space in the cupboard...

    Car buying; does anyone enjoy it?

    I always wonder if people make these kind of comments because they think that it makes them look smart.

    Car buying; does anyone enjoy it?

    I've lost faith on Copilot already, because steel is by definition an alloy of iron and other materials. It is far from pure. Iron may be, steel never is.

    Car buying; does anyone enjoy it?

    I think mine has mag wheels, they have "Mg" stamped on the inner rim. They are also split rim and screwed together, no problems so far touch wood. I dare say they cost about the same as a house to replace.

    Germany sees sense and legalises cannabis

    OK, so accepting this, is my concern that legalisation/decriminalisation would risk a social cost of people being able to get off their face all day every day for the price of a lettuce (a) a legitimate concern or (b) "No actually Steve, the production costs and logistics are such that it's not...

    'Nasty evil @%$kers. . .'

    Absolutely. I've always voted, people fought wars for that right and regardless of the outcome I will exercise it. I'm fortunate at the moment, my constituency is a bellweather. Con to 1997, Labour in 97, Con again 2011 and ever since. I hope to see it go red again this year, with my single vote...

    Germany sees sense and legalises cannabis

    So are you saying that it's not feasible to grow the stuff to a halfway decent quality on a warm windowsill in the UK? Because I've seen the stuff (now OK it may have been, probably was in fact, hemp) growing literally at the side of the road in Spain. I've also had friends who grew the stuff at...

    'Nasty evil @%$kers. . .'

    Many votes are wasted. Anyone voting other than Conservative in, say, Richmond-on Thames, is wasting their vote. Unless, like Lord Sutch, they want to make a point and consider that to be worthwhile. Which it may be. It's like the people who spoil their papers by writing "none of the above". Be...

    Is it time to reassess the very concept of money?

    I will have a go at the podcast. In terms of models, as I said earlier: "Any model has its exceptions. The only way to cope with this is to accept their limitations, and like analogies not to stretch them too far". You talked about bridge building, which ought to be a pretty straightforward and...

    Germany sees sense and legalises cannabis

    I'm sure that there are people more knowledgeable. I'm equally sure that you can grow the stuff in a bedroom, which is what I'm saying. I'm very sure indeed that the previous 2 sentences are facts.

    Germany sees sense and legalises cannabis

    My position remains, the stuffs being successfully grown in a thousand bedrooms, have they all got growlights? 18 hours daylight? Where does that happen in nature where cannabis grows? For maximal yield, and quality, maybe, but how many bedroom botanists are that botherd? So "dismantled" ? Hardly.

    'Nasty evil @%$kers. . .'

    Where indeed. The thing is that theirs is a difficult sell, aren't they those dodgy vegetarians that want to ban cars?

    Car buying; does anyone enjoy it?

    Well, possibly on some cars. Dacia do a steel wheel option.

    Is our world becoming more cruel?

    I do. I've only met one person who was evil and he was bloody scary. I've talked about him on here bef ore. He was a kid at school and my dad taught him before I met him, he was the only one of whom my dad ever said "I'll tell you this straight, *do not* have anything to do with him. I wouldn't...

    Brexit: give me a positive effect (2023 ‘Epic Fail’ box set edition)

    The popular majority that voted for Brexit didn't know or care how it was going to be implemented. Half of them didn't even think that it would happen.
