I don't think this is a good idea, retailers are going to have to see proof of age for an adult wanting to buy cigarettes even if they are clearly well over 18, whereupon they'll get their one year older mate to buy them. Seems ridiculous to me.

I'm hoping white hydrogen could be the game changer. If there's enough of it in exploitable fields it will solve our energy issues at a stroke. Tell me more. Just heard a little about it. Nuclear fusion is no longer always 30 years in the future. Some big breakthroughs recently. Exciting times. Whi...

Never been totally convinced by wave energy, broadly speaking. The maths makes sense and the technology is relatively simple however the operating environment, connection process and lifecycle costs are far more complex then other simple solutions. Basically there’s easier RE technologies out there...

Donna Summer positively did it for me as a teenager. Even with the robo moves.

I think the Scottish police can pretty much ignore this legislation, is too subjective. They should concentrate on direct person to person threats of violence IMO. Blackmac is an actual senior recent ex policeman. I am sure he will not mind me quoting what he said in the other place. Some off the s...

I live in the country, 7 miles from town and its hilly (and never stopped raining for 6 months). Not much chance of me cycling to the shops, or anyone else in my area. The council recently built a 5 mile cycle track at large cost, but there's never anyone on it. Even the lycra crowd prefer to use th...

They didn't really change the flag though, did they? I mean despite the fact that they claimed to have done. All it is really is a design of their own invention on the back of the shirt. Loosely based on the St. George flag, sure. They clearly thought about it, as they said the design was meant to ...

Yep. 98% of the time, it's an all-encompassing word for progressive changes they hate/fear. I'd respect people whose opinions I maybe don't share if they'd be more descriptive and honest about what it is they don't like about such things.

Hi there. We just want to put amenities, schools, hospitals, GP surgeries, parks and ample workplaces within 15 minutes of your house. OK, that sounds fab. Looking forward to it.

Something like this. When the Scottish referendum was first agreed support for independence was in the 20s. By the time they voted on it, it was up to 45%. It wasn't enough for Scotland, but a similar swing in NI would probably set the wheels in motion for an almost inevitable reunification further...

I think chessum brings more than underhill. Itoje Martin Chess Earl Mercer Starting to look like a proper England pack. Add in willis x2, Pearson, barbery, Dombrandt and those are pretty serious backrow stocks before you consider any young lads coming through. I just don't see a place for a safe pa...

I just don't see how him and Earl don't fit into the same backrow. Totally different build and different skillset, but also both have ridiculous engines. Sure they both might be a little bit off underhill in dominant tackles, but between the two of them I reckon they make a lot more then him alone....

Sinn Fein want the border poll even though they know it would be defeated. Not sure what to make of that. What's the reasoning? Whip up the DUP and TUV into an anti-Irish sectarian frenzy with the aim of driving more moderates/undecided to the Shinners side as lesser of two bigots Crazy. Like 1980s...

Not sure what to make of that. What's the reasoning? No idea. Maybe to give the voters who could be swung the taste of it. Something like this.

All I'm saying is if you're going to go defon 1 with hubris saying that you are happy not with a UI , have the border poll and put it to bed for a few years otherwise the conversation won't go away. There needs to be a sustained majority for unification for a border poll to be called, not sure that...

Have the border poll then . You've clearly nothing to worry about and it would put the question to bed for a decade.
