That was for the domain registration, so we own the PLanB name.

Love me a bit of Cunk.

Just goes to show the lunacy of religion that sane people consider a omnipotent being capable of such silliness.

Don't be a dick. Just because the cops are black doesn't mean that they haven't bought into the underlying biases inherent in American policing (I blame Hill Street Blues), and overt racism isn't the only factor making cop culture particularly dangerous to minorities. To a very significant degree, ...

Policing in large parts of the U.S. was modelled on slave catching, and later, when chattel slavery was ended, was predicated on filling prisons with as many Black people as possible so as to continue to use them legally as slave labour. Should we be surprised that policing continues to carry that ...

White slaveholders often used Black overseers to beat and whip their slaves (sometimes to death) in order to keep them in line. That didn't in any way mitigate the racist nature of slavery. Likewise, the fact that Black cops are sometimes the ones who do the dirty work does not disguise the inheren...

More people under 40 in England and Wales now declare “no religion” than profess to be Christian – the first time the UK’s dominant religion has been pushed into second place in any age group. The striking census findings – which also show more than 50% of twentysomethings are not religious, compar...

The news here has been full of items on the kid who was beaten to death by the five cops.

No one interested?

We'll have to check with Gob and see what he understands by it all. :shrug He's usually got great insight. ;) Nah, I cannot understand why a mythical infallible deity would indulge in such stupidity. But, if this is old testament, aren't we supposed to ignore it, (apart from the bits about poofs an...

As the US adjusts to an increasingly non-religious population, thousands of churches are closing each year in the country – a figure that experts believe may have accelerated since the Covid-19 pandemic. The situation means some hard decisions for pastors, who have to decide when a dwindling congre...

What is the point of drag queens? Why do these blokes enjoy dressing up as hideous parodies of women?

You'd not catch me doing it.

Listened to "Jeff Beck with the Jan Hammer group: Live!" for the first time in years, yesterday. The man was a genius

Searching 6 year old kid's backpacks, let alone for guns, shows how low things have sunk there.

My last specs cost me £110 for two pairs.

I could have had slim lenses and bifocals for £180. (2 pairs.)

Buying specs online is risky if your prescription is more than 2years old.

Brilliant books, written by Mick Herron. I have the complete set. Not watched the TV series.

The shooting of a teacher in the city of Newport News in Virginia by a six-year-old student should be a red flag for the US, the city’s mayor has said, as the teacher’s condition showed signs of improvement. The mayor, Phillip Jones, said the condition of the teacher, identified by local media as A...

I think Andy nailed it. Still having problems with the ticket agency, going for the best price isn't always wisest.

Laughable. Threatening to cancel due to them fucking me about, they restated my old flights and dropped the price a few quid.

Now to get a yankie visa. You lot keep schtum!
