Plan B Forum

Going into the 2025 Kennedy Center Honors, President Trump — who hand-picked the honorees and emceed the event — promised the “highest-rated show that they’ve ever done.” However, according to Nielsen data, the December 23rd broadcast ended up drawing only 3.01 million viewers, a 26% year-over-year...

Indeed, maybe the most noteworthy part of the Minnesota welfare fraud story is that it became such a big story at all. Again, I assume that's because these alleged frauds revolve around a pair of politically convenient topics: the Somali immigrant community in Minnesota and the state's hapless gove...

I’ve been waiting to see what would happen, and I am not surprised that no one on this board has mentioned the Minnesota welfare‑fraud case involving the “Feed Our Future” program. . . .So why hasn’t it been mentioned here? Could it be political bias? Are you accusing yourself of not mentioning it ...

Sue, in South Africa there is no self-service at petrol pumps. There are two reasons: 1. it provides employment for 6-10 people at every station and it is expected that they will be tipped b. a significant number of self-serve customers would drive off without paying Reason a. is the main one though...

That's when the talking alert should kick in... " Your vehicle's gas cap is located on the left rear of your vehicle......Please plan accordingly dumbass"

Just because someone is pragmatic doesn’t make them a hater. Just to clarify . . . are you suggesting that Bardot exemplifies pragmatism by being a fascist, bigot, racist, homophobe, xenophobe, Islamophobe and an antisemite,? Or are you being pragmatic in disregarding her having been a fascist, big...

And the EU will have a similar thing (ETIAS) beginning in 2026. We have a trip to Spain planned in October and are watching when it will start. Good to know that too. Yeah Sue - the expiring passport thing . . . both of our USAs expire in May but I see there are exciting on-line ways to do some ren...

Fine, she wasn't cut out to be a mother - she might have kept her ugly mouth shut

I'm not sure you've got that quite right . . .

But the Donald sure has a way of understanding boats 'n stuff: “There was a major explosion in the dock area where they load the boats up with drugs. They load the boats up with drugs, so we hit all the boats and now we hit the area. It’s the implementation area. There’s where they implement. And th...

Just thought I'd take a look at our travel flight plans - depart Jan 2 for a couple of days in the UK then on to South Africa for 6 or so weeks - and we have narrowly avoided having our entire vacation (and all the bookings and money) go down the drain The UK government has a new thing for furriners...

Ms. Cunk suggests that someone could cash on in your idea and invent an arrow pointing at the arrow.

Good for him. Have to admit, I've never noticed the arrow. Heard it existed but just never . . . er . . . looked

The head of the Kennedy Center in Washington DC has demanded $1m (£740,000) in damages from a musician who cancelled a concert after US President Donald Trump's name was added to the venue. The centre's president Richard Grenell wrote in a letter that the cancellation was a "political stunt", "has ...

Yeah I just hit 75, my heart beats around 59 pm which is tachycardia and the muscle is dying by degrees...... Tachycardia is a fast heart rate. 59 bpm is a good resting heart rate. Are you sure it's not your brain that's beating incorrectly? :mrgreen: You need to stick around longer than a couple o...

In response to the negative . . . He has never denied knowing Epstein and even being friendly with him. That is true His story is now (and has been for a while) that he dropped Epstein. That is true And the backstory is that they fell out over a real estate deal. Whatever he or his spokes-viper has ...

Yeah I just hit 75, my heart beats around 59 pm which is tachycardia and the muscle is dying by degrees. I had a triple-bypass in 2017. One major branch of the left carotid is 100% blocked and the littler guys work overtime. My feet hurt. At least I can walk for 30 minutes. Especially if there's bre...

Of course, this means that he DOES admit to knowing Epstein and being associated with him. A bit silly, Bill. He has never denied knowing Epstein and even being friendly with him. His story is now (and has been for a while) that he dropped Epstein. And the backstory is that they fell out over a rea...

Well, she was pretty liberal. Maybe having some ignorance of certain portions of America. But Pryor was right to try and point out that it wasn't a black/white thing but a poverty thing. I suspect she couldn't quite grasp that her America, the picture she had, wasn't helping people. In a way, she wa...

Why do you ask, Two Dogs Trading?

Totally agree about Wallander. Especially since we get Emily Barker (and the Red Clay Halo) as a bonus. Nostalgia is a brilliant song - even adapting the words for the TV series. But I'm rather more fond of this one:
