And, to my great delight and surprise you can still buy them, a local sell anything shop had them in, little dial wheel to tune it in and everything, love it, makes me want to go in there and get jobs done!

And with all the attempted cheating and play acting (bizarre when the players know how many cameras are on them), and rolling around in agony yet jumping up and running around again seconds later, it's a wonder that anyone could actually watch this game with any kind of interest or passion anymore!

I actually did laugh out loud at that, so thanks
You`re really going to like this story. A University in the States wanted a `no whites day`. A white professor complained that this was racist: the abuse he subsequently had to endure resulted in him losing his job. It`s been cancelled, but the fact it ever happened is a disgrace. Colour should just not be an issue: celebrating it just builds walls.

Look at the way the English team removed their medals Sunday! Like a bunch of sulky kids and they were to blame no one else What will they do when they have a real problem to deal with? Entitled little sh*ts!

To be honest Paul, like many others I'm currenty completly fed up and disillusioned with the current state of this country!

Constantly pandering to the minority, everyones a victim, a man today a woman tomorrow and not sure the following day, too many people with no sense of humour or common sense, no respect or manners, offended by everything and basically spineless, anxiety is now a trend that many haven't a clue what it feels like for real.

If we had a war now we would be FUBAR! What happened to the great British spirit? It's being taken away slowly.

I read comments online from older people saying they are glad there lives are nearing an end as they remember the older times were more fun. That is sad to read but at my age I can see where they are coming from, the old rose tinted specs etc.

My grandchildren will grow up with this being the norm and hopefully they won't be too affected, but to me it's all getting sad to see
