Depends. Are you one of the 90% or one of the 10%?
Weekdays or weekends?

Re: Political Correctness

I'd guess it's a fairly safe bet that 90% of forum members are white, heterosexual, middle-aged men, who are only offended at 'PC gorn mad' and can't understand how anyone not white, male and heterosexual could possibly be offended by racism, sexism or homophobia.

Re: Political Correctness

I mainly play classical music, so no-one can be offended by the lyrics.

Re: Time the Slurpers are killed off

I estimate a specialist Integrated amp that cost £500 in the mid 90s is now £2000 plus. Four times the price at least while pay has probably only increased by 50% at most. Speakers appear to have gone even more stratospheric in price. The Bank of England's inflation calculator shows goods costing £...

Re: Political Correctness

I'm not sure what your point is, really. If you think racism, sexism and homophobia are things of the past, you're wrong, but that may not be your point.

Re: IF there's another Brexit referendum...

Fact is there was a referendum... Fact is there might be another one... I think it should only contain leave options but with a majority of MPs being remainers...who knows. I have no problem in principle with a second referendum, but the practicalities seem difficult: what options should be present...

Re: IF there's another Brexit referendum...

I think any vote would have to be on 'What type of Brexit?' rather than 'Remain or leave?'. But my guess is enough MPs will blink at the risk of a No Deal Brexit and will, however reluctantly, vote for May's deal on 12 March.
