Other than the occasional Pointless & the Chase, the only other quiz I listened to regularly was Popmaster on BBC Radio 2. Not tuned in for a year or so though. Liked Pointless because you really have to know your stuff if you're to get an answer that's least likely to be picked, or that no one else...

Thanks for the suggestion. 🙂 That could work, but for all the hassle, I'd be just as well plugging the portable CD player directly into the car. I'd still be interested to know about the newer players though - a lot of them are coming with Bluetooth as standard too, again probably because everything...

Nowadays, because most things are streamed, including music, a lot of newer cars don't have a CD player, instead they've been replaced by USB ports. I've seen there are portable music players available with both USB & CD, but what I want to know is is there a standalone one with compatibility to tra...

Some voters are being put in impossible position. The decision was huge with huge long term implications (none of us have a chystal ball). To make the decision purely in the present without trying to at least consider the future ramifications of the choice seems shallow to me. And yet, not even a m...

No fresh snowfall in Edinburgh since Thursday, some areas still have a few inches of the stuff lying. It was a lovely crisp -7 this morning too.

Government now toying with the idea of giving everyone in England who tests positive for Covid 19 £500 to adhere to self isolation.

I watched Die Hard (again) but, this time, trying to introduce my sons to the era of 80s classics. Watching their reaction was very interesting. For the first 10 mins, they were on their phones or ready to evacuate to the den to play Fifa on the Xbox. But then, the rear doors of the van open and we...

Just heard on the radio, they are hoping to roll out / Pilot 24 hour Vaccinations within the next week or so.

24/7 would be handy for those such as keyworkers who provide round the clock cover such as the Emergency Services. Not everyone works days.

So, swimming is permitted as a form of exercise, but swimming pools are closed.

Two faced or what and he's back on Twitter.

Should have been a blanket ban.

Saying the man is too dangerous to hold a FB account but to give access to Twitter makes no sense at all.

Trump's Social Media ban extended.

He's one and done

Surely not if he's removed via 25th, he won't even be a one term President?

Maybe the 25th should be invoked - NYT reporting Trump has told Aides he wants to pardon himself in the final days.

Pelosi saying Congress may impeach Trump if 25th Amendment is not invoked.

The guy had a test at work. Luckily it was a cold, hes had a test and its negative.

Although the Common Cold can be a misery, must be a relief that it's not Covid 19 - can't be too careful though Andy.

Just mentioned on CNN "How can a man deemed too dangerous to have a Twitter account still has the Nuclear codes?"

CNN reporting that Some Cabinet Members are holding prelim talks about invoking 25th Amendment.

Very sad scenes. To paraphrase an old saying: “Never underestimate the power of a democratically elected lunatic with access to Twitter”. Not for at least next twelve hours.... Twitter finally taking steps. Wonder what's likely to be causing Trump the most upset just now - losing the Presidency or ...

Now being reported on Sky News that someone has been shot & has died at Capitol Hill.

The cleaner came in the office this morning, sweating. Feeling ill, couldn't breathe properly. Still bloody working. He's an Angolan guy and at the start of the pandemic he boasted black guys are too strong for this. This is another problem we have that this macho image in certain communities is Ki...
