    Autism and telepathy - The Telepathy Tapes

    It's not unfortunately. Just a poor, distraught person trying desperately to find answer that make the world a happier place.

    Autism and telepathy - The Telepathy Tapes

    Actually, don't bother. A quick Google found this and saved us all some life: https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/critical-thinking-pseudoscience/telepathy-tapes-prove-we-all-want-believe

    Autism and telepathy - The Telepathy Tapes

    Before I waste an hour of my life, you're going to have to give us all a summary. Is the answer that autistic kids are picking up on signals we don't know we're giving because our brains work in different ways? Or is the answer because magic?

    Heathrow expansion

    If you're going to pick a limit, it needs to be realistic. 2-3 business trips in a year is reasonably light. Last year I had to go to Milan twice and Edinburgh once. Then a summer holiday, somewhere long haul. A short haul holiday like skiing or a bit of winter sun. Then maybe a weekend away...

    Politics, politics, politics (so long and thanks for all the fish)

    They're audited like any company but that's only for accuracy. Nobody checks to ensure that every bit of expenditure is absolutely vital and cannot be provided in another way.

    Sick sick world what is wrong with people

    She's obviously never going to say that. Even Labour cretins aren't that stupid. But there's no downside to an enquiry. In govt expenditure terms it costs nothing. There are only upsides. Unless, of course, you have to answer to people who don't want an enquiry to happen.

    Tottenham Hotspur V IF Elfsborg

    Not the fault of the slope. He was off balance because he was being manhandled. Ref needs to up his game and protect the talent. If that lot go out of Europe nobody would notice. If we get a couple of players injured, the result could be an 8 figure cost.

    ENIC

    Worth bearing in mind that those other clubs will actually be paying their performance bonuses too. Given the brickshow we've been putting on lately, I'd be amazed if any of our players had qualified for theirs.

    Maybe not the elected roles but they have staff that are all the type that would want to work for a local council. I don't think a scrutiny committee would be strong enough against bias - I'd rather expenditure had to be justified to a professional, external auditor.

    It'll be good practice for the Championship next season.

    True, even in photo form it smells of Essex

    Heathrow expansion

    We all know that politically motivated (and possibly supranational) judges will just block it.

    Heathrow expansion

    3-4 flights a year is nothing. That's not even a quarter's worth of business trips - let alone needing holidays and to visit family, etc.

    The Tragic Regression of British Children

    That's probably true, although it should all be factored into the decision as to whether one should have a child or extra children.

    Sick sick world what is wrong with people

    There was a very limited enquiry. There is still a need for one with a far wider scale. It would cost a fraction of any one of Rachel Reeves's many mistakes - almost nothing in govt terms. I don't doubt that Jess Phillips will do the right thing if and when it coincides with getting elected...

    Oh that's handy. I guess those involved in the UN internal investigation can give everyone their jobs back. Or maybe you've just been fooled into repeating terrorist propaganda

    Sick sick world what is wrong with people

    What evidence do you expect? Do you think Jess Phillips is going to stand up in the Commons and say that the reason she won't put her considerable weight behind a full enquiry is that she'd rather keep the Muslim vote in her constituency than help vulnerable children? I think even Labour MPs...

    The other problem is that those who tend to want that kind of role are left-leaning in general. One has to believe in the value of govt and it being the best place to source provision in order to take up that kind of role, in general. So it will always be stuffed with tact, spendy types...

    Sick sick world what is wrong with people

    MPs are fairly gutless and want to hold on to their constituencies. Those shouting loudest about not wanting an enquiry are in constituencies where many votes (and especially women's postal votes) can swing on the say so of a "community leader"

    James Maddison

    He's one of those players who needs to be a big fish in a little cesspool. Much like Grealish.
