Yeet another one has died now,  after a fall at the last fence.
I can't tell you how much I loathe these people for abusing these fine animals to line their own pockets.

I have to agree.  It's not only TwoTier, nor the Labour party as a whole; it's many of our own people, especially the young people who have been shown that there is no need these days to worry about looking for a job: the state will pay you!
Sadly, the country seems to be in a decline, ever since the new millennium.  I still hope that it can recover under a new government who know what they're doing.

Oh dear - now I need new slacks
The old ones hang like  baggy sacks
In the Co-op they fell down
Hilda watched it with a frown
I dashed out quickly and bought no snacks

Strong braces surely they would work
Then I wouldn't look a burk

AI answers show in all google searches now. Gemini is theirs and the one they use obviously but you get a more considered answer and by selecting thinking rather than fast if you use it direct from the link I gave or the app.

The thing to bear in mind is that AI will always give answers that sound authoritative but may be pure hogwash if they are based on the results from a poor source. I use AI a fair bit as it is quicker than trawling umpteen forum posts but am wary of the answers I get as they don't always work.

My renewal will be due again in 2028.  I thought it was exactly at 70 then every 3 years but as my photo expired and I renewed then I'm on every 3 years from that renewal instead it seems. I will try online as I do have the government account that gives access to umpteen services already. If I get problems I'll just get a form and do it that way. 

I imagine the eye test will be required by then too. I get mine done every couple of years but I'm unsure if one just for the driving licence will be needed.

I can't tolerate them. I was getting pretty bad muscle pains and mentioned it to my neighbour. She asked if I'd been put on statins recently. I had. I stopped them. Pains went away. 

Some years later I was persuaded to try a different tablet. Within a short time of starting them I had some rather odd effects. I stopped taking them, The effects stopped. 

I can't be 100% sure those effects were the statins because they were bizarre and appeared inside a week of starting them but the statins got the blame from me. I'd rather increase my statistical odds of heart attack or stroke than live with the pains I certainly got from the first lot.

xome to think - there is a local site - I'll give it ti them
