To get back to the subject, with the PM now in intensive care at hospital many people from all sides of the political spectrum have come forward to offer him their support. Any word from comrade Corbyn? Not that I've seen.

I've just sent Vagabond an email, will let you know if he replies....

Honor Blackman, most famous for playing Bond girl Pussy Galore, aged 94.

Going out once a day for the morning paper (local, not any tabloid junk), milk and buns. Once a week to Sainsbury's for the main weekly shop, otherwise trying out various woodworking tools that I bought but never used (table saw, hand router, hand planer, first-aid kit) or reading books or car mags. Oh, and having a laugh at Trump whenever he's gobbing off on TV.

At last we have a new Labour leader, now FECK OFF Corbyn, you steaming pile of sh!te. MP's lie, but you continued to lie in the face of overwhelming evidence. You're a republican, when nearly everyone supports the Royal Family. You support the IRA, to the extent that you invited several IRA members to the House of Commons just 2 weeks after the Brighton bombing when they attempted to kill the Prime Minister. You have no sense of shame. You destroyed the Labour party. It was because of you that I voted Conservative in the last few elections, not because I supported them, but because I did not want to see a streak of sh!t like you becoming Prime Minister. Yours sincerely you gobshitting prick. John, a Labour supporter.

We had the Morphy Richards Fastbake Breadmaker for over 4 years and it's still going strong. Not expensive, can thoroughly recommend it

Sorry to hear that too Elton, please wish her a full and speedy recovery from all of us here. Stay safe all. John

Initiating post emoticon test..... Edit of post emoticon test in progress.... That worked, and probably this one too. Seems to be working fine Chesters, are you using a phone to view the site?

Only aged 49

Let's keep the personal insults where they belong, which it NOT on here

Chesters, just make sure you have a Network Cable CAT5e (enhanced) cable to go from the new router to your computer.

I don't have satellite boxes or stuff, just a couple of computers hard-wired (only one permanently) and a tablet via Bluetooth, so all those spare network sockets are lost on me You'll be surprised at the increase in speed though. For eg, a film from YouTube that would have taken a few minutes to download was done in just a few seconds!

I'm wondering about the hollow flat earth theory now

With ours, they run a cable (fibre) from the post to a box on the outside wall (that was visit #1), and then someone else came down to run a second fibre cable from that box into the house to another box screwed to the wall, and another cable connects that to the router (I don't think they're normal routers, probably a special type). Finally another cable connects to the computer. The last bit can be done via wi-fi or Bluetooth, but having it hard wired is preferable. The box we have inside the house is a lot smaller than the one shown, not much bigger than the one he's holding in his hand.

That album was late 70's

Getting the fibre optics going straight to your house from the pole is a far better way of doing things. That's what I've got, so now the router no longer needs plugging into the telephone socket plus the tinternet speed is just about as fast as anywhere in the UK.

You got that right H_V.

I've got a little black book with my poems in. Got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in. When I'm a good dog, they sometimes throw me a bone in. I got elastic bands keepin my shoes on. Got those swollen hand blues. Got thirteen channels of sh!t on the T.V. to choose from. I've got electric light. And I've got second sight. And amazing powers of observation. And that is how I know When I try to get through On the telephone to you There'll be nobody home. Excerpt from Nobody Home, from the album The Wall by Pink Floyd. Didn't they get it right.

Pioneering African-American Nasa mathematician Katherine Johnson has died at the age of 101. She was portrayed in the Oscar nominated film Hidden Figures by Taraji P. Henson.

Best wishes to you Phone

Cause of death - Stupidity.

If you want a really good laugh, check out the flat earthers and space deniers on YouTube

US daredevil pilot "Mad" Mike Hughes, 64. Killed during an attempted launch of a homemade rocket in the Californian desert in order to prove that the Earth is flat. Yeah, right
