In todays news...

[Count Steer]

Some lighter news I thought was interesting.

Ancient bronze sword found in "as new" condition.

It's not exactly today's news but I've been reading about another well-buried find - 7 tons of nails (Buried by departing Romans to stop the locals getting their hands on a large quantity of 'weapons grade' iron). Nails were quite important and not always readily available - there was also something about American settlers burning down the homestead and sieving the ashes to recover the nails when they moved.

The Beeb are saying a debris field has been found in the search area.

Oceangate just stated they "believe all passengers have been lost"

In other news, a few hundred people died at sea fleeing war and famine this week.
Kinda weird how ones newsworthy and the other is just dead refugees innit.

[Ant]

How did you find out then?

And in other news, Times Radio has the boss of Tesco saying that Brexit is causing higher food prices in the UK.
Whodathunkit?

I'd have thought people would move on from Brexit by now, it's done, it's gone. Let it go.
Blaming something from years ago doesn't matter any more. It changes nothing

[Ant]

They can't let it go, it's like a religion, it's a cult.

After COVID, the fuel crisis, inflation - best of luck pinning any financial issues definitely on Brexit

-I- did 'predict' it though, like some kind of savant - there seems to be a lot of "I told you so, and feck you" nonsense on here at the mo.

It reminds me of motorbike racing, "oh the Ducati is fast, look at it in 2015". .. like there's even 1 single bolt from a 2015 bike that's used on the 2023.

"Stoner could ride the Ducati fast, Rossi couldn't" again just like any components were the same on Rossi's bike as we're on Stoners.

I imagine a room of remainers to be like an old working mans club, full of people coughing and moaning about how they don't like change. Do you remember the good old days Bertie? Ooooh Ernest, oh yes when we were in the EU and we did nothing differently to how we do now, but it just felt like fluffy bunnies.....

I know, they went on about it for years and years.
Although it wasn't a very strong rebuttal Ant old boy.

I know you want to forget your mistakes and pretend they didn't happen but when it costs the country billions its worth pointing out every once in a while.

It's always someone elzes fault though isnt it?
Nurses, Immigrants, leftists, train drivers, mortgage holders, protestors, yada yada yada. Not the government who've been in power for over a decade and with a massive majority for a good part of that, eventually you'll run out of other people to blame.
Likely my fault for pointing it out now

[Yorick]

The sick jokes are out. Just fucked off 2 folk on FB who I thought were OK.

[weeksy]

I don't care either way about remain, leave, who did or didn't want it. But it's done now, it's gone. The ship has well sailed.
I just don't get why people on either side keep going on about it.

You better warm up your ignore list then, I'm sure some will be on here too.

I can cope with black humour, but the 2 I saw were gloating about rich folk dying. Ignoring the fact that poor folk died as well.

Yes, laughing at the deaths of people is deemed as ok.
