Quote from: Mups on Yesterday at 10:51:43 AMI just give my postman a tip at Christmas,  and the paper boy.

I rarely go anywhere much that requires tips during the year.

What is a postman please. ?

What will we call  'A little black dress'? If the word BLACK disappears from our  vocabulary....
And 'Blackout Blinds' and no more Black Magic..

The heavy rain.. and the noise coming from some Labour wonkers was just mockery..
The poor man just took it in his stride.. He showed his weakness.. and vulnerability... He is not a ruler..
Why didn't he say 'I'm not bloody going out there in the rain'  ..
The press that attended all had umbrellas..
He makes me feel sad for him.. And I don't want that feeling about the person running my country..
I wonder what other countries thought of it all..

I won't even go round to the Co-op in the rain..

Just go to the board you want to add it and click NewPoll. It will give you a bunch of options to determine behaviour.

It will certainly count votes block or allow multiple votes depending on settings. From memory the rolling result can be shown or deferred to some date or other.

Just give it a go if you want to. I think the result will be a foregone conclusion and different from the national result but I may be surprised.

Btw I wouldn't vote in a lab, con, somebody else poll. The somebody else could be lib or green and I'd put either even lower than the other two losers.

On the subject of the next general election, I had thought about putting up a poll in which (to keep things simple) the choices would be:

- Mr Wishy-Washy (Conservative)
- Mr Flip-Flop (Labour)
- Any other party

Unfortunately, I have no idea how to set up such a poll in which the votes for each would be tallied automatically.  Perhaps keeping the tallies secret until the poll is completed (after a set time) in order to influence any voters.

Quote from: klondike on Yesterday at 11:22:46 AMI suspect the confusion would more likely be caused by King starting with a K. I've heard both but Jack is now the norm. I fail to see anything non PC about using the word Knave. Problems with calling cards in the suits traditionally coloured black black cards suggests some form of mental illness to me.
In this present 'PC Age', I fully expect that words such as 'Black' will soon be outlawed.

I just wonder what alternative word would be acceptable.  After all, there are many things in this world which are black in colour, so they're going to have their work cut out to find an 'acceptable' word which could be put into practical use.

Because our police like most other things in the country are useless. Nothing works. Including a sizeable chunk of the population who now apparently choose to live on benefits instead.
