When you are reading the news and see this article and remember you once had several breakfasts with this awful man at a weird (but beautiful) B&B in the Lizard, Cornwall. He asked about Farage and we were vocal about that and he seemed a bit put out then.

Do agree with you @intiniki
The difficulty I have with history from a UK perspective is that the establishment and media wonât let our last big achievement i.e. WW2 lie.
We make it out to be the reason why we have democracy and our way of life today. Recommend that anyone who wants to see that our plucky invasion in Dunkirk was small fry compared to what was going on in the rest of Europe should have a look at Russiaâs War by Richard Overy. Great account of realities. There are plenty of other books on this.
Anyway this bloke and Farage are still dicks.
The other people that live with you donât bring you food when they bring every body else food
The transition from work mode to I am at home mode I eventually discover I am not in charge 
Get a PA at work, then you will find that you have no say in your life.
I happened to be in Singapore for the first GP when they didnât quite realise what they had. Anyway, on the race day we were wandering around the track killing time before the race. We had got down towards the Fullerton. They have a separate function building which sit bang in the middle of the hairpin bend. As we walked by the front door, a waiter said would we like to go up for a drink. Of course we said.
after a couple of flights of stairs we find ourselves on a roof top terrace with race track on three sides, tv screens showing the coverage, beer on demand and as many canapés that you could shovel down your gob. All this for the cost of the beer.
after enjoying the beer, food, racing, we had a thirty minute walk to the pubs and clubs of Clarke quay. Epic night.
Password resets when you sign in to an e-mail account when you change country.
the whole point of it being e-mail is so you can move around the world and still get your messages but having to create new accounts just to get password resets for existing ones is fucking bollox
Automatic update of phone operating system when you bloody well want to use the bloody thing.

Trips to the Doctor.
My arm looks like a pin cushion from the blood test.
Why is the Urine Sample Bottle so bloody small.
And yes, the Stool Sample. Do you go for a direct drop or a scrape off? Do you have it lined up? What happens if itâs a fast sprayer? Or a long slow dropperâŠ
Of course you didnât get it in exactly the right spot, thereâs more on the way and you canât reach the sink.
Should I spray or should I go nowâŠ
And then the walk to the Nurses Station with âThe Bagâ They ALL know what you are carrying, those young Nurses that you were so âbubblyâ with yesterday all give you the look that says âWe know youâre carrying pooââŠ
And because this is PRIVATE HEALTH CARE - not NHS and the Doctors can make MORE MONEY by giving you all these tests you wonderâŠ
What the FUCK does all of that have to do with an ingrown toe nail?
And then the Insurance COmpany turn down your renewal because you actually claimed against themâŠ
Been ther done that have all the t shirts @dubai_phil
The stool sample technique needs to be perfected before youâre 60 here in the UK. At that age they start sending out Bowel Cancer Screening kits in the form of âPoo Sticksâ
As I say you need to get this rightâŠyouâll find the catch on a piece of paper and then to smear with a supplied stick develops into an art form. The smearing onto a small window on a card is like an artistâs canvas to the creative.
I can hardly wait for my next kit.
What?!?
Why has no one told us before that this is what awaits us? 
Do you have to float them under the bridge before or after smearing the shit on?
When Outlook goes down all day but no one tells you 
Canât you just put the stick into the shit thatâs in the toilet? Maybe as you get older you lose your senses and think youâve got to shit on a bit of paper and then scoop it up with a stick. If I ever need to take shit to my doctor, Iâll poo into the bog, get the stick and stick it into the shit and then just take that in. No dramas.
Ah, somone else had the same idea. Didnât think you were that old though, GB.
Iâm not. I just like playing with my poo.
Man-up ladâŠthereâs more where that came from. The legendary prostate examinationâŠthe Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) screeningâŠparanoia is just a NHS letter away.
