I think you're confusing it with the beaches along the north east coast of England that have sea coal mixed with the sand.

I'd been to a bike rally at the weekend in Belgium and, yesterday, rode up through The Netherlands to stay for four nights before going home. I was feeling quite chipper because I've managed to reach another birthday so have caught up with Skub again. This is my bike. Not the pedal cycle. The. appar...

In case anyone doesn't know about ees, here's a link to the EU website. https://travel-europe.europa.eu/ees/gen ... rmation_en After a number of years delay it is intended to start in October but how it's going to work still isn't clear in some places of entry.

I agree with Potter. While a task can be delegated to a subordinate who becomes responsible and accountable for carrying it out, but their superior cannot delegate their own responsibility and accountability for the completion of the task. It's a form of strict liability. Not knowing that the task h...

Electric cars were on the roads getting on for 150 years ago but didn't catch on because they were powered by battery and had a limited range. All these years later we have a similar problem.

10 /10, rocket surgery it wasn't. It was on a CBBC website so I wouldn't have expected it to be very difficult. Was it, I wasn't paying that much attention. But now you mention it, CBBC apparently spans from 6 - 15 years olds, so do you want to try some GCSE questions on physics, chemistry, biology...

Labour would not repeal new hate crime laws introduced in Scotland despite concerns about how they are enacted. Scottish Labour, which voted to amend the legislation before ultimately supporting it, would change the law to include misogyny . In the interest of fairness and equality, they should als...

Misgendering..........or more accurately, people that get 'offended' by it. JK Rowling has apparently been reported to the police because she misgendered some trans news reader (by the trans news reader themselves). Now, you can paint a cow with black and white stripes, but it will never be a zebra...

The slimy money grubbing self serving twat bastard. It's been on the cards since more people started vaping and fewer continued smoking. Man's got bills to pay. I know, it was a contributory factor to including vaping in the tobacco products directive way back in 2014, still doesn't make it right. ...

Arsehole pro-cyclists. They come for winter training and their arrogance and self importance knows no bounds and they piss everyone off. Today, they excelled themselves. Saw 3 cyclists, which would have been easy for cars to pass. Oh no. Their coach was sat in a car behind them, at their speed with...

How about Henderson's Relish?

Remember: they'll print/broadcast whatever sells. Doesn't matter if it's 100% true or not. If it gets people buying the paper/watching the channel they'll say it. If it turns out to be wrong: noone cares. Is he still around? I liked him in Herman's Hermits. I didn't know he cared though. That comme...

I know, but it still annoys me.

Please bear with me as my post is related to the royal family although I would have the same feeling if it were anyone. I've been getting a bit miffed by the constant media speculation about the health of Charles and Kate. Like most of the world, I don't know anything about Charles' cancer and hope ...

I've been signed off for another fortnight, which I'm fine with as I still ain't right. I've been told umpteen times to take it easy, put my feet up, get rest and recover, but I'm incapable of sitting and doing nothing as it seems a waste of time. I've read couple of books, cooked a shit ton of stu...

It's called ambiguity. Statistics are meaningless (or can have many interpretations) when not put into context. According to the NHS, 1 in 2 people will get some form of cancer in their lifetime . According to what Hull's chief anatomical pathologist told me several years ago, more people die with ...

Mmmm, am I right in thinking that you are saying that as a man, I either will get diagnosed with cancer or I won't get diagnosed with cancer? That's a strange way of reading it. I took it to mean that out of a random sample of, say, a million men, half a million will be diagnosed with cancer. It's ...

I was on visordown.
