When you have to put your ticket in to a gate to get on to the platform, the same to get off at the destination platform, the same guard on your train has seen your season ticket for the 10th time in a month, and has chatted most days with you, it does get pretty irksome having to show it.

And here’s me thinking a router is a tool you use when working with wood!

My interactive Titanic Crew Map shows the addresses of the Titanic crew members who lived or lodged in Southampton prior to the voyage:
historicsouthampton.co.uk/crew/
There are 542 red markers, each one represents a crew member who died when Titanic sank #OnThisDay 113 years ago.

She was an interesting ship. The Carnival cruise line-like funnels make the stern look like the bow in that photo.

We’ve lost so much amazing architecture in the Southampton area, it breaks your your heart.

I didn’t know the plague came to Southampton! You do dig up some interesting stuff, Russell.

It’s on the list. Especially after a TV show earlier in the the year, but more so that a work
colleague goes every year, and can’t praise Malta highly enough.

Did you see the extended version at all, did it improve things? I haven’t had time to watch either.

All you see is cloudstrike everywhere these days. Micropants probably send out an even more invasive spyware update, causing cloudstink to block it. Take me back to XP days.

There are two things on your car that let people know what you are doing, or about to do. One is brake lights, the other is signals/indicators, which you have to operate manually. I don’t understand why people don’t want to give other drivers as much warning as possible.

I’d disagree with job, and it’s probably more Gen Z than Millennials, but a great observation.

There’s a viscous circle where you miss a truly excellent series, only to come across it a year or three down the line. You start watching it only to find it got cancelled early because of poor audience figures due it getting lost in the plethora of other shows.

Unions were started for a reason, and are a good thing. Until they start trying to control the country.

I grew up in the Midlands and North of England, above the North/South divide. My father’s side of the family were coal miners, my mothers side British car manufacturing. All manual workers. I think that qualifies.

He’s a great man, and I’ve always admired his work. I’d love to go for a beer with him and have a chat.
But even many of the right-wing disliked Thatcher, it’s just that the male MP’s didn’t have the balls to stand up to the unions, and let them get away with whatever they wanted. She did.

He sounds Posh, but he’s a working-class lad, from the North of England. They will never vote right-wing.

Most UK ‘artists’ are left-wing, for reasons no-one really knows, but it explains their reason for hating right-wing Margaret Thatcher.

3/3 to dig up dirty, climate-destroying fuel to burn, when you could import it for a half to a third of the price from Europe. Really bad times, but she was the bad person/Political Party…. OOI, mining was so dangerous, 15 yr olds were allowed down below to the coal-face for ‘work experience.’

2/3 leaving the country, and hospitals, in darkness. The refuse/garbage collectors wouldn’t empty your bins, letting rubbish, and vermin, fill the streets. The coal miners were striking to stop mines from being closed, where teenagers were paid £400 then, £1740 now,

1/3 The thing about Maggie is that nobody can be ar$ed to look back in time/history and actually see how the Lefties were dragging the Country down, and how she tried to prevent that. Imagine unions so powerful that they could turn the mains electric off in the evening,

As you can’t have too many cannons, saw these in Betancuria, Fuerteventura, the other week.

I got that for making a comment about trophy killers. Apparently you you can abuse and harass dead people….?
