If we had roads that wide in the UK there'd still be somebody in lane 10 waiting until the last possible second to take the turn.

Facts matter. Our state pension is woeful compared to others. We already ask our pensioners to manage on very little.

75% of current retirees and rising (over 80% for those retiring now) have an occupational pension or private pension which is 4 times the EU average. The state pension is not the sole source of income for the majority here unlike the other countries mentioned.

Right you lovely lot, here's where I flush out the anti vaxxers and conspiracy theorists. I have COPD, Pulmonary Emphysema and a so far undifferentiated shadow on my left lung. I have been invited for flu jab but I don't know about side effects. Yes or no with experience please

I always get Kevin Oโ€™Sullivan confused with Kevin Maguire, which leads to some very confusing moments
As voices from the Left and Right hail Councillor Burnham's dad-based socialist drivel as one the greatest ever Prime Ministerial speeches, when did we become a nation so easily pleased? When did we become a people so easily swayed by sentimental slush? Whatever happened to us?

I spent half my childhood sitting through Eisteddfod rituals that were sold to us as ancient Welsh customs. In reality, barely any of it is older than the nineteenth century. That includes the whole "Druidic" tradition, by the way, which is basically just "the Masons, but Welsh".
why does โ€œtraditional folkโ€ dancing and clothing always seem to look the same? People really just made shit up in the 19th century and then called it trad

How many TV themes with no words do you make up the lyrics for? I admit "Wogan... it's Wogan" isn't the greatest lyrics ever, but Ronnie Hazlehurst probably intended that. The real one has to be The Sweeney though, doesn't it? "The Sweeney... The Sweeneeeeee..."

IIRC you can sing โ€œthe sweeneyโ€ the whole way through the tune and it fits.

Amazing
Starting next year, most Americans will apply for their passport entirely online. A revolution in how government works for the American people. The Trump Administration is making government simpler, faster, and more accessible.

๐Ÿšจ JUST IN: Sec. Marco Rubio announces Americans will be able to apply for passports ENTIRELY ONLINE instead of spending HOURS and frustration doing it in-person "No printing forms, no drug store hostage photo, no appointment, no line, no middleman...and REAL-TIME STATUS, [tracking] estimated delivery date." "By the end of 2027, our goal is for most Americans to be able to apply for a passport or passport card on America .gov." He just PERSONALLY confirmed it: America .gov will let you do the entire process online This is massively overdue! The page is Super Intelligence-powered. EVERY nation is going to copy it ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
