Hot water thinggy is smart looking Klondy  :upvote: 
I use a normal kettle, a Bosch which I've had since September 2015  ! you can choose the temperature and there's a keep warm button.   It won't shorten trousers though   😎

The billionaire gave Nigel Farage an unconditional personal gift for security, not politics.   At the time Farage had stepped away from public life entirely. Same billionaire also donated 12 million pounds to the Reform coffers.

Personally, knowing how the British media hounds Nigel Farage, it might have been more prudent if, when he actually became an MP, he had declared this money.

Quote from: CHF on Yesterday at 12:38:41 PMWhat astounds me is how a lowlife like Trump ended up being the most powerful
man in the world. 

Because the previous president was an even worse "lowlife"  :rolleyes: so people voted for Donald Trump

Quote from: Ashy on May 10, 2026, 01:10:35 PMI don't think we'll be calling Reform a fringe party for much longer. And nor will we the greenies, mores the pity. As these two parties have won control of some councils we'll see if they're any good. Or not.
Yes, it's very worrying.

Quote from: Scrumpy on Yesterday at 11:41:51 AMI think most MPs try to get a 'Freebie'..
They know their 5 mins of fame is short lived .. so they work harder at lining their own pockets..
Meanwhile the country goes to pot.. I doubt they really care..
That is only too true.
Plus, their cheap meals and booze in the HoC.
