    The news people like to spread scandal before news, they have all turned into the "News of the World," and we all know what happened to them.

    Was it an invisible bag of sand. :biggrin:

    It's torpedoed his campaign. The Trumpets will continually replay that clip making him out as a doddery old man and the masses will lap it up.

      My Daughter & Grandaughter went to London, I went into town for my dinner.
      So the two ladies on the next table were taking loudly about their recent operations.
      I really wasn't interested in the vivid details, especially while eating.

          He's too old anyway, they should come up with a younger candidate.

            Completely agree. I honestly thought that he'd do one term then pass the baton to Kamala Harris; she seems capable enough but perhaps the US still can't cope with the thought of a woman in charge

            With Biden others are pulling the strings. That wouldn't happen with Kamala Harris.

                Now I know it's unusual for me to moan but I've just spent 10 minutes picking up the contents of a bag of cashews.
                The moan is about that really rubbish plastic that they use for packaging, the kind that is impossible to tear but once you cut it the tear just runs straight down the side of the bag.

                Surely it's about time they got rid of this stuff, it's thicker but similar to the stuff they use around boxes of tea bags, it comes off in little pieces and static means you can't even throw the stuff away.

                    I use scissors but guess they don't allow them in your home ;)

                      Plastic packaging is now universally awful. You can't peel off lids as the glue is too strong, the plastic breaks or tears, cereal bags are particularly annoying as all varieties act in 'special' ways - none of which are conducive to keeping cereal in the bag!

                        Well you use scissors, you have to, or a knife, to cut the top off and then the rest of the bag just tears all the way down.

                          What about those sticky labels that you cant remove but if you can they leave all the glue behind.
