He was quite disruptive and has, it appears, an incredible fascination with the right to bear arms. Possibly the main problem is the relatively small number of people posting on this forum. I'm a regular user of another forum and there are usually 100 members logged on and another 100 viewing as gue...

We're focusing on the headline "death" figures again. There are other serious, lasting effects, and probably some we don't know about yet. A side note, do you know the age of the average UK farmer ? It's 59 yrs, and only 3% of UK farmers are under 35yrs old. Average age of UK engineer ? 5...

Quite a few people reporting a big upsurge in traffic this morning. The lockdown is about to fall apart. People may go out and about but just about everything still remains shut - schools, pubs, sports centres, etc. How many organisations and companies will open up and take the chance of being arre...

It's a strange old forum this one....

PS You write/post far too many words. You have posted 1702 times in the 16 months you have been here. You of all people should not criticize other members for how often or how wordy their posts are. And who are you to judge in any case. There is such a thing as netiquette . Screens are more suited ...

https://www.omfif.org/2020/05/welcome-to-world-of-stagflation/ Heading for 1970s-style cost-push inflation What we used to call the advanced world economies face a fateful combination of possible pandemic outcomes: depression, then (possibly) boom, with either inflation or deflation. My view is tha...

I won't be wearing a mask either unless it is mandated in law. I live in a democracy after all. Quite. But in a civilised democratic society people are allowed to defend themselves against others who would do them harm . It was one of the jurisprudential reasons that smoking was banned in public pl...

Well, our mid to late 70's neighbours (both sides) are going out and about for walks and shopping. They are relatively fit and of sound mind. They are not wearing masks. Good for them I say. They have assessed the risk and I imagine have decided that if their time has come, then so be it. They do n...

Not a good way to buy, but the eyeball average of gold sovereigns on eBay seems to be about £400. So, roughly about £50 per gram compared to £44 live price. I never even thought of buying or selling gold coins via ebay. I've bought gold sovereigns and silver britannias through ebay. No problems ...

Cat it does not matter if there will be herd immunity or not. We have to get the economy going again or the economic collapse will be far worse then the pandemic even if we did nothing to mitigate it or slow the spread. Indeed, but remember economic collapse is inevitable. We just didn't know exact...

I think the local police force issuing the licence informs the person's GP, that's it. You are supposed to declare any pre existing conditions such as bipolar disorder, dementia etc. No finger printing! I'm not sure why that would be needed? I would only expect to be finger printed in the UK if I'd ...

Outstanding! Sort of like the rules that the Canadian dude lived under? So you can choose any firearm you want once you have passed the states exams on sanity or whatnot? I was under the impression that you couldn't have real guns because even after all the required tests, your government still doe...

I have finally heard of two Covid cases within my wide group of friends and family. The first is the death of a very distant relative. A man in his late 70's with a whole host of pre existing conditions including advanced cancer. I suspect his death has gone on to the official books as Covid 19 but ...

The American military industrial complex is dead set on this all ending in war Trump or no Trump, Obama or no Obama etc etc etc. . I see little if any evidence of that. The American military industrial complex is quite happy to build weapons systems that are never used as there is no extra profit i...
