Still an ad.

I can't be bothered to mess about, if you are going to take down my posts because you think it's an ad, clue:no for sale sign, no price, no contact details etc etc then I'll just chuck them in the recycling.

I was going to try and potentially help someone out, or not by putting up an ad but if you're going to get all draconian on me I won't bother.

It appeared I can't post an ad there because of my post count.

It's not an ad, I am not selling them yet, hence no price.

I just wanted advice on what to do, whether to chuck them if they're useless and there's no demand for them or to put up an ad.

Wish I had got some spare money to invest in the stock market when he was elected knowing now what I have seen online, his antics would have made me a fortune 

It's all well and good being pissed off and outraged about everything, but posting about it with no reference to back it up, you may as well be yelling out of the car window on a motorway.

The internet ifs full of people getting outraged every time Donald says something, this is no different but not one person has referenced a clip of him actually saying what has gotten everyone outraged.

He deliberately says things to bait people whether it's the media or other leaders, and everyone bites every single time. He's the political version of Michael O'Leary.

If he's said something out of line, link to it and we can have an actual discussion about it rather than being sheep on the outrage bus.

I think everybody has seen the clips about him saying NATO troops weren't on the front line in the US led Afgan affair

I genuinely hadn't seen what he said, but when you look now, it's all this type of thing...

Which is just contrived nonsense. He's always had an issue with NATO, I took this to be another dig, and that everyone is upset because, by implication, it suggests that we weren't involved. This is obviously wrong because, of all the NATO countries, we were right there with them. That is indisputable.

The question that isn't being asked is does NATO as a whole pull it's weight, or does it always fall to the same few countries that step up when asked, ourselves being the front of that line? That may well have been the intent of whatever he said.

Trouble is, after the fact, the outrage drowns out whatever was said to begin with making it almost impossible to have a reasonable discussion about anything.

To Steve's first post, all that's visible, is people at Davos, apparently yesterday, getting uppity about tarrifs that had already been withdrawn. The broader issue being that we keep being spoon fed what they want us to see.

* Local news being the exception because it might actually be relevant and useful.

Does anyone get local TV news?

Our local BBC News is all about Southampton, and ITN is Kent...

Ours is much the same. Doesn't help that South Today covers Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Sussex, Surrey and Berkshire from Southampton, whilst Meridian is in Maidstone 

So you get identical news to me, despite us living in very different parts of the country.

Have you noticed how BBC South Today are too scared to go inland, for fear of dropping off the end of the earth, and that their weather forecast is dominated by the sea state....

So true

Trouble where you are is that Birmingham is a media black hole and if you go left a bit, it's all in Welsh. East a bit and you're getting too close to Luton to be comfortable.

Another 249 posts and you can list them here.

But don't forget pictures of the actual wheels and a price.
