Re: What's going on with all this gender stuff?

I think calling it 'This gender stuff' is a bit generalised. But, from my point of view: 1. Biological sex is just that. Biological. You are born with a set of genitalia, sometimes biological defects affect it, but you are born with a certain genitalia. We can all agree on that as a fact. 2. Gender ...

The Technology Thread

Generic technology thread for generic technology talk. And now a statement that will date this thread forever:

Those mad cats finally went and done it. USB C is coming to the iPhone. Took them long enough.

Re: Predictions for 15/08/2023

Does this mean we now make predictions for 15/08/33? 1. William will probably be King, though I wouldn't rule out Charles clinging on for longer. 2. Telephones will no longer exist. They're already moving away from copper wiring to internet based calling in 2025. 3. The Conservatives will probably b...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

If I'm being completely honest, I think Pres Cafe is no different from most other forums with a niche interest. You will always have those characters who are set in their views, and come across as negative.

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake

Wilko's potential closure doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Whenever I have been in there, its always been a bit naff. The shop interior is very dimly lit, its not laid out in a way that makes sense, and I never quite understood what they sold, and the stuff they did sell was not reasonably pric...

Re: Public Transport in your particular part of the region

The closure of ticket offices is causing a furore near me at the moment. Where I live, all ticket offices on my local trainline, with the exception of Liverpool Lime Street, and St Helens Central, are going to be closed, and stations are going to be staffed 2 hours a day, except on Sundays. While th...

Re: High Street chain collapse sweepstake

Six closed immediately, leaving Sunderland and Wigan with no cinema at all. They are planning on building a new cinema in Wigan Town Centre, as part of redevelopments, so hopefully not for very long on that front. Its a shame. The Empire in Wigan, when I went, was always very quiet. It certainly fe...

Re: Pres Cafe Watch News and Information Board

This is a TV presentation forum, and everyone is bent out of shape over a bunch of ultimately meaningless transgressions. It never ceases to amaze me.

Anyway, they put a little 4 on the logo. That's neat.
