    Best Prime Minister

    There have been many threads posted about Boris, so which PM was better or worse? Going back to Maggie's time, who do you think has done a decent job, bad job and what are their highlights & lowlights, I thought Boris did a good job during Covid (parties aside), furlough, vaccine, lockdowns...

    Scirocco or Civic?

    I’m looking at getting a new car towards the end of the year and at the moment I’m looking at the Honda Civic Type R GT or the VW Scirocco GT 2.0 TSI. I’m swaying towards the Scirocco as opposed the Civic as there are quite a few of them about and I’ve read some bad reviews about the interior...

    A new Pay Spine?

    It’s been mentioned on the Pay Rise thread that if nurses can have a new Pay Spine, then why can’t we in TG1, so I thought I’d start a new thread on the subject. 1st off, well done to the nurses, in my opinion, well deserved and not before time. Now, back to TG1 getting our own pay spine, (and...

    Anyother Trades going down the multi-skilling route?

    Now that most techies have been multi-skilled (I say most, there are still a few courses left), what other trades could be multi-skilled, for example, Movers and Suppliers, or am I being too simplistic. What would the reason be for not multi-skilling certain trades? As a techie, I’m not 100%...

I was leaving my local chippy tonight and this bloke came up to me and asked if I was an armourer, told him I'm a rigger and I gave him my best puzzled look (not too hard to pull that off!) and asked why? He then asked if I was ever on 3 Sqn as he was the chef in the...

    CD drive not working

    My cd driver has stopped working. After I've inserted a cd and closed the draw, nothing! Gone into My Computer, it's not listed there. On Media Player, the now playing tab doesn't show my cd player either. It was working fine yesterday, not today though. Thanks
