I have more interest in the value of something, other than just the price. But these foods are designed to taste good, that is the whole object of the exercise. Scientists and phycologists have been employed by food companies for years. The texture and taste are designed in and addictive...

In England the government, NHS and many companies dumped illegal situations on us all because they weren't able to understand, or couldn't be bothered to read a ten year old act of parliament. Or, which is more likely, it suited their purposes at the time. Now all of them, presumably including...

During the Covid fiasco Campbell's soup doubled in price for no particular reason. Heinz soup then more than doubled. Maybe it's a ring? I don't mind people making money but object to being overcharged. I have not bought anything from either company since and never will again. Mind you when you...

Why don't trans-men demand to go in the gents? Why isn't a trans's claim to be a woman cancelled for life after they ra**? How can a rapist change into a woman between the crime and the court case and be referred to as a woman at their trial? How can, what we assume to be intelligent people...

It may have been easier to watch if he'd shoved his hand into his pocket, or behind his back for the video. Boiling frog theory. Basically has the internet brought people together and therefore generated more alternative opinions? Some from fiction maybe. It appears that minorities are hell bent...

Cotswold will have to get back to you another day Uncle. He's just gone off with two guys in white overalls.

Maybe. But my main phone is still 2G. I have a smart spy phone which never leaves the study for a telephone number I give to transient suppliers along with a annually changing address. All of the cameras and mics are taped over. It will never have a banking APP installed. In fact it only has...

Maybe AI will come up with a formulae to regrow hair? But then again, on the positive side, just think about all the money you are saving. Robots will be more expensive that the Turks and Albanians.

Limitless.ai/#pendant Being a bit of a luddite I see this as a definite and unnecessary intrusion of privacy. But some deluded souls have spent $33M and counting in getting it to market. (Needless to say I'll not be shellin' out $300 on one.......plus the 33% 125% 145% tariff of course)

It's the swearing that my wife isn't too keen on. But to me it's like a safety valve, forgotten in seconds and moved on:mad::)

I thought all software developers talked to themselves. If they didn't, they'd never arrive at a solution. Apart from the fact that when they write a bug into the code, they will accept telling themselves what a silly old sod they are much better from themselves than someone else.

I'm a little surprised you need to ask this as it has been a standard Function in Access since day1. Maybe get a copy of the Access Language Reference, which I'm sure will be helpful? When someone starts a new computer language, I always suggest that they read the language reference if only to...

Apparently Elvis was seen wearing a Jewish Star on a chain around his neck. When he was asked about it, he explained that he wouldn't like to be refused on a technicality.

So if you cannot insure it, the vehicle only has scrap value. Unless of course you are exceedingly rich and can cover your own insurance. I know someone who had a slight bump in London some years ago. When he asked the chauffeur for their insurance details, he was told his employer provided his...

Three very expensive words "I deserve it" Back in the day, if anyone was wearing something, or had say an umbrella with a company logo on. It was a freebie from a rep. Never close to a status symbol. I still take that view today.

Exactly. Why spend money thinking you'll impress people you don't even know. But some do. Mind you so called 'prestige motors' don't break down less than a Ford. A Range Rover apparently spends 17 days a year in the workshop on average. I have a perfectly good petrol car that does everything I...

Unbelievable! Is that legal? Are these people weirdos? Maybe gathering images of children without permission. They must also be recording conversations, probably without permission. Scope for blackmail and other nefarious intent. They will know who the owner is and may well target politicians...

If I were Jesus Christ coming back with the state of the World as it is in 2025. I’d keep a low profile, work out how to avoid being called a racist, open a nice little wine bar and start working on the second book.

So the object is to increase the value cost of a car by a considerable amount. Maybe making them unaffordable to buy meaning that they would be rented. As many phones are. The rented phones are charged to include 20% interest on capital employed and more. Which is why I'll only buy a £100...
