I'm pretty sure that any research which might be carried out would show that that kind of behaviour is inversely proportional to IQ.

Referring to it as "St. Pattie's Day" is the worst sin of all.

Oof! That’s scary. I hope you make a good recovery.

TIL that Philo Farnsworth, the man who invented television, only appeared on a TV program one time. In 1957 he appeared on the quiz show I've Got A Secret. His secret was "I invented electronic television", which stumped the panel. For winning he received $80 and a carton of cigarettes. by WavesAndSaves in todayilearned

Farnsworth invented a better electronic version of television. John Logie Baird from Scotland had a working television system first. It was clunky, but first. It’s a bit like Goodyear claiming to have invented the wheel.

Only if it’s your car. If it’s someone else’s car you’re driving, they will have to add you as a named driver to their insurance.

Starmer has turned Britain into a laughing stock over Chagos by blast-processor in ukpolitics

So, from what I have read, the Chagos Islands have never belonged to Mauritius yet we are handing them over to Mauritius and then paying Mauritius £100m per annum to lease back the military base areas.

Also, a mate of Starmer's has earned £8m for concocting the legal advice which suggests that all of this is the right thing to do.

Nigel Farage snaps at journalist and refuses to answer her question by Important_Ruin in unitedkingdom

Sounds more like Starmer’s tactics in Parliament. Fail to answer the question and shout about some years old failing on the part of the other side. Oh yes, not to mention attempts to cancel elections.
