Listened to this Guardian Podcast before : Guardian Focus Podcast: Examining the British far right | World news | guardian.co.uk In England the far right seem a bit of a joke, I can't ever see the BNP or EDL taking off seriously. But in the likes of France and the Netherlands, it looks like it is gathering more support. And unlike Nick Griffin, I get the impression a lot of people in, say, France see the likes of Marine Le Pen as a credible politician. So, what do you think of it then? Where is it going to end? Will we see another openly fascist country in Europe anytime soon?

I'm after some recommendations and thought I'd throw a few into the mix: "Altered Carbon" by Richard Morgan. I first read this in the summer and was blown away by it and am now on my second go. It's very gritty, noir-ish SF about this insanely hard bloke on the lam in a future where your consciousness can be stored, or transferred into new "sleeves" (bodies). Fucking ace. I've read a few of the "Eagle" novels by Simon Scarrow set in Britain during Caesar's day. They're nowt special, but are an entertaining diversion. "Wall & Piece" by Banksy was a Christmas book and it's absolutely addictive. Everyone who enters our bog seems to get lost for about hal…

1988 – The Dollywood Foundation Parton originally launched the organization in her home county of Sevier County, Tennessee, with the goal of decreasing high school drop out rates. She then started the Buddy Program, in which Parton gave $500 to every seventh and eighth grader who finished high school. According to the organization, the initiative was successful and the dropout rate declined from 35 percent to just 6 percent. 1989 – $500 scholarship Parton offered a $500 scholarship to every student in Sevier County who wished to attend Hiwassee College. 1991 – Eagle Mountain Sanctuary at Dollywood The 30,000-squa…

Really heartbreaking story. One of my closest friends lost her brother last week and is obviously absolutely devastated. He has 2 young kids (age 4 and 7). I was talking to her yesterday and she was in tears telling me how they'd broken the terrible news to the children, specifically the 7 year old. I asked how he'd taken it and what he'd said and, still in tears, she told me the kid had replied "Can I have his phone?" I don't think I've ever struggled so hard to keep a straight face.

Righto, might not be the biggest news to many, but this will be everything to my little girl and there’s every likelihood the next 12 months will have some shit in them, so - in addition to me putting my name in the had through the club registration, and me asking the fella I sit next to to do the same, if anyone at all has any inside contacts that could possibly pull a string or two to help smooth a route to tickets, could they just keep me in mind. cheers, that’s all.

My ex's mate in her divine wisdom decided to try and stage a fraudulent insurance injury claim by making up a car accident. Apparently she knew someone who did this and it was fool proof. So she phoned up her insurance company to tell them about the crash she was inventing, cutting a slightly longer story short....... Car Insurance: "ok miss H, can you tell us what happened exactly ?" Miss H: well I was rolling up to the traffic lights and went straight into the back of the car in front of me " Car Insurance: "right, then that means you're liable and cannot claim, if you go into the back of another car you're liable" Miss H "er, oh, ok". Miss H now has to conti…

So what do you think about the start to the new seies, Hoddy? I'm loving the political machinations with Burrell getting manipulated all over the place and Rawls as the new (and very unpopular) Deputy Opps. It feels like another slow-burning classic with Cheese gaining a bigger role, Avon on his way out of slam, Omar great as ever and Greggs turning into a female McNulty by the second. Gotta love the "Put kids off violence by autopsy" route to keeping the streets clean, too. I've seen the first two episodes and it already feels even better than Season Two. Oh, by the way - did you see The West Wing has been canned? Season 7 is the last one. Also, did you know th…

My son, Jamie, who some of you have met, is training to run the London Marathon on Sunday 21 April. His first. He is fundraising for a number of great causes. I don’t know if I’ve exhausted the goodwill of the very generous people of this place but in the spirit of ‘if you don’t ask you won’t get’ I decided to share his page and if anyone would like to chip in I know he’ll be really chuffed. Thanks in advance https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/james-plattssmith?utm_term=AXJXrKGAz

It’s time we upped sticks and let the 2022 thread die. It’s never been more exciting to be a fan of the sweet science. Anthony Joshua is fighting Ngannou tonight and it’s just been announced that 57 year-old Mike Tyson is fighting that YouTube knobhead, Jake Paul, steamed live on Netflix. Seriously. This is the golden age.

During the height of The Equalizer's popularity, actor Edward Woodward was often approached on the street by people in need, with situations similar to those depicted in the show. He began carrying flyers with the phone numbers of social services organizations and legal clinics for them to contact.

Anyone been there on holiday? Thinking of going next October. I've wanted to go for years but what with one thing and another I never got round to it. Where are the best places to go? Goa is the obvious choice but I believe it's becoming like Ayia Napa so I'll be giving that shite a wide berth. I'd really be looking to chill the fuck out after what's going to be a hellishly hectic year ahead. A few beers, a beach and some fabulous food. Any tips?

My new job requires me to wear a suit every day to work. This is very new to me having worked for the last 21 years in a very casual (dress wise) setting where only rare certain types of external meetings required me to wear a suit. Anyway, I went for a piss a short while ago and did that thing I seem to do every time I take a piss in a urinal or toilet, and that's spit into the toilet. As this was a urinal I decided to entertain myself by trying to drop a spit directly into the hole for the drain. This meant I had to lean forward, and to cheat a bit (in my own game??) I leaned downwards as well. As I was pissing straight across so I could trying a break the stream…

Which of these fucks is worst? Valachi was the first made guy to squeal, admitting to the existence of this thing to the Senate. On the other hand Gravano, as Underboss, was the highest ranking member to flip.

Noticed there's a fair few wrestling fans on here so I thought I'd set up a thread to discuss best matches, favourite moments etc from WWE, TNA, WCW/ECW, ROH or Indie promotions. Also, if you're gonna discuss the live shows like Smackdown for instance, use spoilers please. Anyway to kickstart this thread, my favourite ever match is TLC 2. [YOUTUBE]jlfCLgUG90k[/YOUTUBE] Always been a huge fan of Jeff Hardy and this match had me gripped from start to finish. Jeff was at his best here and the spear by Edge is an iconic moment in wrestling. Also, Brock is fucking ace. That is all.

Think we need out own dedicated thread for the president elect. I had a look and there doesn't seem to be a thread to bump about Joe like there was for Trump. Unsurprisingly there is one for his daughter Ashley dating back to 2009. Anyway, think this is going to be one of the most watched terms of office of any president. Not only is he going to be picking up the shitty baton of Covid, he's also going to have to deal with unifying the country and the aftershock of Trump. Added to that, time or age really isn't on his side for him to stand for a second term. So, I'll get the ball rolling with this. Deb Haaland: Historic Native American '…

I’m sure we had a poll on this a while back it I can’t find it. I used to be a stander upper until I discovered sitting down wiping is far more effective. However ….. not sure if this is a US thing or just Chicago but it’s playing havoc with me as a sit down wiper. I’ve had to stand up so I don’t get shitty hands. It’s not just the hotel it’s every bog i’ve seen here. @TheHowieLama is it the same in Florida? Do the three seashells not actually exist?
