V spoken, as in 'Wales V England'. Lazy and ugly! Either 'versus' or 'against' please

I have been wondering if June who keeps popping round with the Sun Life Overs 50's Life Cover envelope and the bloke with the binoculars are actually having a sexual relationship. If you notice the daughter of Mr. Binoculars always disappears and leaves them in private.

Do we think the Sun Life envelope is just a cover?

People who watch videos on their phone on the train without using headphones.

That's better but also include, pubs, buses, office, I don't want to hear your private call, go outside.

I have never understood why people buy newspapers, even when I was a kid in the 70’s delivering them. Even then you could get the latest news every hour on the radio free, and now every minute of a day on lots of different media devices. Always puzzled me that.

...err, a newspaper has much more content than News, and that content can be read at a time and place convenient to the reader.

No, don’t get it, the more content is stuff I don’t need to know.

You don't need to know 99% of the stuff on cycle chat - in fact you need to know 0 % of the stuff here in café!

Actually this one has only bothered me fairly recently. I am more and more impressed by my local MP even though she is a Tory. I keep wanting to congratulate her for taking a position at odds with the mainstream of her party, yet I cannot bring myself to vote for her.

Is it Heidi Allen and could you vote for her now?

True, and I don’t pay for the stuff I don’t need to know on CC.

Yes and probably, at least for now until we see more clearly where the new grouping is going. (I think there's another thread for more detailled discussion of this sort of thing )

What are escalators that descend called?

 

[Lullabelle]

When people go to a show, they drink alcohol before and during so they end up having to leave part way through to go to the loo, missing the show.

Descalators?

Can I please eclipse that with those incredibly annoying people who have their 'phone on loud speaker as they talk to their friends, like on The Apprentice? I don't want to know what you're saying, you self serving gobsh*te, let alone your equally tedious mate.

The prevalence of casual racism. 3 strong examples in the last two days. All 3 make the perpetrator appear so thick.

The mildest was yesterday, in Lidl, was a lady taking her elderly father round shopping. I heard her say, ‘Jesus dad, all this stuff is foreign!’. AND she was wearing burgundy corduroy trousers that were too baggy. The audacity of it.
