I’d have thought the house had the tariff, but I’m only thinking. It's the owner of the house and panels Gloria. I've been searching online and it looks as if I will inherit Cols share of the panels with the same tariff, which is good news. Well done Wendy. When I fill in our regular submission to ...

Thanks for the warning, Mrs Tiz has made a donation from us. She saw it before me!

Think what Trump has been wearing and then guess what he'll be asking for when Xmas comes!

`Macrons to offer 'scientific evidence' to US court to prove Brigitte is a woman, lawyer says' BBC I hope the accuser, the right-wing American influencer Candace Owens, gets her come-uppance for this. This is in the Guardian: The Macrons’ US lawsuit states the accusation that Brigitte Macron was bor...

I have had to ban apples from my diet. Another penalty of Type 2! Me too but I don't have diabetes. It's the acidity that inflames my gut. People will say to me `Eat this apple, it's very sweet, not acid'. I have to decline the offer and explain that the perceived sweetness masks the acid that is a...

I think I recall that the Labour party flew a group of "volunteers" to America to provide assistance to the Democratic Party during the campaign of Kamala Harris against Donald Trump. At least the `UK volunteers' didn't raise much of an issue about finance because they were all invited to...

I've never heard of ballies or vainites. I did find vainites as a truce term on Wikipedia: Vainite

I've been reading a book written by Michael Rosen. In a section on malapropisms sent to him on Twitter he quotes an elderly lady writing that she had taken her old clothes to a `tragedy shop'.

I seem to recall Donald Trumpet criticising `British interference' in American elections... In conversation with Robinson on stage in the afternoon, Musk also claimed a “dissolution of parliament” and a “change of government” is needed in the UK. The crowd responded to his appearance with cheers and...

I imagine all of us on OG had never heard of him. Besides Tiktok he spent most of his time at US universities spreading the right-wing message `so that Donald Trump doesn't have to go to the universities himself'. I'd call it `grooming' the students on behalf of Trump.

I saw this in a BBC article about the Kirk killing... Trump, in a video address from the Oval Office posted on his Truth Social website on Wednesday night, called the killing a "dark moment for America". But he wasted little time in blaming the "radical left" for Kirk's murder. H...

This is going to de-stabilise the Middle East even further - and Trump gave his support for it. 15 Israeli fighter jets, firing 10 munitions against a single target, which was the building in Doha where the Hamas leaders were meeting to consider their response to Trump's proposals to end the war in ...

That makes me think of French railways: Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Français

I first saw this in The Times on Saturday. Looks like South Korea might be a bit annoyed when they are supposed to be an ally of the US... `Raid on Hyundai plant in US swept up workers on visitor visas' Many of the car workers arrested in a huge US workplace immigration raid had violated their visit...

The news editor should have been hanged for that mistake!

Stanley wrote: ↑07 Sep 2025, 08:30 In response to the post, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a Democrat, called Trump a “wannabe dictator.”

Keep an eye on JB Pritzker, he's out to get Trump and he's much in the US news at the moment. If he became POTUS at least Zelenksy would be pleased: Pritzker's family is of Ukrainian descent.

And here's something a bit more light-hearted from today's news...
`Knitted soldier army marches into city's minster' LINK

There are a lot more photos from when it was set up to celebrate the D-Day landings last year... BBC

A bit of old-fashioned trickery still goes a long way and both sides are at it...

But if I screenshot the image it's only 130kb if saved as a .png file and even less, 25kb, if saved as .jpg. Making it a bit bigger isn't going to crash the site.

Can you post your cartoons a bit larger Stanley. On my screen I can read `Red wall credibility' but not the other words. Thanks.

And it's what I was taught as I became a scientist and later in publishing.

I'll probably have to ask for help in the Ubuntu forums. Well that was quick and easy! I went onto the Ubuntu forums and immediately saw that other folk on 24.01 were having the same problem. The forums have lots of users worldwide and so the problem had been noted quickly and a suitable response g...

We've had big Ubuntu updates recently too. Mrs Tiz is on the same v.22.04 as you Stanley and she's had updates of over 300MB, made up mostly of `firmware'. I'm on v.24.01 and a 512MB `firmware' update keeps popping up but when I click on it it downloads very slowly, gets to 511MB then sticks - it wi...

The man who ghost-wrote Trump's `Art of the Deal' and got to know him very well said that Trump `lives in the moment'. He simply says what comes into his head in that moment and doesn't think back or beyond it. It explains a lot about him!

`Why the world is watching RFK's fight with US health agency' LINK ...It's a conflict that could have a significant impact not just on health policy in the US but across the world. In the past the CDC has been instrumental in global health, leading the response to crises from famine, to HIV, to Ebol...
