Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

He was looking quite bright tonight wasn’t he .... flying across that waterfall in his smart casual orange jacket and slacks. He does make me chuckle and the programme is quite addictive, showing some wonderful places around the world.

It's amazing how politics can turn people into automatons with no personality, no backbone, and no qualms about telling barefaced lies to the public.

First night away from the kids since our youngest was born, 18 months ago. Dropping them at my (very nervous) parents this afternoon, then off to a nice hotel with a gym, pool, steam room etc, and lovely restaurant.

No idea how it would be used or policed. But great to pop down the shops avoiding the traffic.... :thup:

This always tickles me.
My wife’s family are all Manchester United “supporters” and Grandpa has been on an unsuccessful mission to torture me and my youngest however this was priceless

" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Then 30 seconds later

" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

That’s my boy :)
