Tricky one, some phobias are illegal. How it's illegal to fear something, just a control measure I suppose.....

Someone said to me that I can't get a replacement for my bike. I think that's just shock tactics.

Gremlinette went out for a leaving do last night for one if her Halfords colleagues. He has an non-compliant car, earns a retail hourly rate so can't afford a new one, so can't afford to carry on working.

Air pollution has a negative ...

Certainly more heart warming than the gullible who have been taken in by this.

With a £270 per month tax, we really are going to see the poor pushed down even deeper and probably lose a lot of businesses.

Sounds like the shit they would print in The Sun jokes section.

I remember in TRC, there was a 'Morning Check In' thread, people found it useful for saying hello or what ever, I'm having coffee, it helped out some who were suffering who just wanted something really general to say hello. Seeing something similar on another forum and seeing this thread just ...

Peer reviewed or not, statistical scientific opinion is just that.



I think it says a lot about their opinion, and their data, and their credibility, that they were so easily guided to a different conclusion. Like most unqualified opinion really, they should be ashamed of themselves. Experts ...

The colour and vibrancy of most Carnivals are a spectacle to be enjoyed. So why are shopkeepers & homeowners along this weekends Notting Hill Carnival route desperately boarding up their premises?
