Re: Energy bills: How spanked will YOU get?

Happy to expand on that but not sure what information you're looking for. Here's the notification I got from the company... https://up.metropol247.co.uk/Alan%20de%20Robson/OTM.png When I first signed up with the company in August 2020, my monthly bill was £112.42. I'm now paying £319.89 per month. I...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

I like both forums but feel myself swaying more towards Pres Cafe.

Feel a bit sh*tty about it because the TV Talk Forum team has spent time, money, creativity and energy on the project.

If only there could be a way where we were posting on one forum instead of two and no one lost out. Hmmm...

Why are 3+ papers reporting on this West Mids estate?

This morning, the Express , the Sun and the Mail are reporting on an alleged sink estate called Blakenall in Walsall. A quick search on Google News reveals that the estate has been in the Mirror (twice), Yahoo News, Birmingham Live and the Express & Star. They all feature copy about pigeons bein...

Re: Queen Elizabeth II

As a royalist myself, I'm gutted. God Save The King! I found the accession and proclamation ceremonies on Saturday morning an equal degree of fascinating, odd and strangely comforting. It was, in many ways, like stepping back hundreds of years back into our history and emphasised the much-made point...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

I have signed up for all three forums and said hello, beyond that I have not felt the need to post anymore. Pres Cafe seems a bit stuffy, TV Talk seems a bit as others have said a bit flat, TV Ark forum maybe the one I used most as I am in to retro. Agreed. I'm logging in to Pres Cafe and TV Talk F...

Web design thread

Previously, I had asked members of this place for help on Wordpress-based web design. Thanks again for that assistance but, in the end, I just couldn't get my head around how fiddly, temperamental and complex (to me) WordPress was. I used both Avada and Elementor as suggested and they were genuinely...

Re: The power of words

Re the holiday thing: you’ve had many a fun night at the clubs. Very much all of the fun with none of the trauma eh? That's completely fair but for someone who is not a member of the community, I will never have the trauma, if you know what I mean. Overall maybe you aren’t trying to establish a bas...

Re: The power of words

I didn't specifically exclude trans - it's just that my initial observation, to the best of my knowledge, wasn't used against T people. Anyway, to you Billy, Sput, and Whataday, I am genuinely sorry if I caused any offense to any of you. I value you all and I value this forum and this is the only pl...

Re: The power of words

Oh that is weak bad faith shite and you know it. You don’t get to decide who’s in a movement you’re not part of, even if you do like to holiday there. So, you can either support it as it is, however it chooses to name itself, acknowledge you’re with “LGB only” folks that actively exclude and malign...

Re: The power of words

We've seen over the last 30 years word become weaponised and others lose their meaning as societal attitudes have changed. There's one word I absolutely hate though and I was wondering if it's just me. The "n" word is horrific and shocking to me but so is the "q" word (for gay p...
