    Who is in and who is out?

    As I have stated previously I have no issue with immigration I think it's a good thing. I don't think "people are coming over here and stealing our jobs" I do however have serious concerns about the net gain that we have with immigration. A city the size of Newcastle each year is a huge...

    Who is in and who is out?

    No 100% not aimed at anyone and I am really sorry if you felt it was. Completely not my intention. I tried to be clear that it could be either view point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Who is in and who is out?

    With regards to the dreadful murder of Jo Cox. It's a horrific incident and I am sure that both remain and brexit camps will see it for what it was. A horrific incident carried out by a single deranged individual. I would hope that neither side use this for any sort of gain. If you believe...

    Who is in and who is out?

    Do you want a French national teaching your child English? One of the issues a friend of mine was saying was that his daughter's school has taken on a lot of foreign teachers and the kids can't understand them. That's not a racist comment it's just an unfortunate fact. You can't have teachers...

    Who is in and who is out?

    I think the leave campaign cannot have a plan as they will not be the government as they are made up of a mixture of parties etc. It will also take a long time to exit from Europe as its a complex process and will require negotiations. Does the remain campaign have a plan for what happens if we...

    Football? Stick to rugby.

    The whole football / Rugby thing amazes me. I went to the new Wembley stadium for a corporate event. The sort of thing where you listen to a few guys talking about their new products and then you get a couple of sandwiches and a glass of wine or OJ. I had my OJ and went to walk out of the suite...

    I see they have quick clamps - anyone know if these are ok? Seem like a very very good price, so thinking that they are made of cheese. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What tool did you buy today?

    Not sure if I can post this in this thread as Technically I bought it back in Feb I think, but it arrived today! Not even opened it yet, just tucked it away in the workshop as I've got a few other things going on before I get into that! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Funny dog names

    I saw Ken Dodd a few years ago (I took my mum as my dad was ill). I wasn't looking forward to it. Not my thing and I was 40 which lowered the average age of the audience. He was brilliant! I never knew he went on for hours and hours. For me one of the funniest things was when someone arrived...

    Wacky new form of measurement.

    Plus net your views and recommedation

    I think all service providers are good when the service works but when it goes wrong is when you get what you pay for. If you need good reliable broadband and excellent service then Zen get my vote - they are excellent. I only get 2mb at home but Virgin are currently digging up the road so...

    Wacky new form of measurement.

    I know my sum was off - that's why I put "or rather it doesn't) it's not easy to add fractions up - you need everything to have a common denominator so you have to work out that, then work out the numerator for each fraction and then you can add them up. As for the 8 X 4 sheet and holding it...

    Who is in and who is out?

    I think that for us the issue is space and infrastructure. I don't have an issue with immigration but the current rate is not sustainable and we can't do anything to stop it. At least the Australians could change their points system if it wasn't working for them. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Who is in and who is out?

    I wasn't really answering that question, but to answer it. You can't, you can't have people without a roof over their head. So if your supply can't cope then you have to reduce the demand. At the moment there is no way to do either. Exit is the only way to control it. Sent from my iPhone...

    Who is in and who is out?

    I don't think you can blame the government for the large net gain of immigration. We have no control on that so I'm not sure how they are meant to cope with an increase in population the size of Newcastle every year. It's not easy to build that level of infrastructure that quickly even if you...

    Solar panels during a power cut - what do I need?

    What are you looking to power? Without some form of battery in the system you'll struggle as you want smooth power. If you think that some tools are 2000w then you'll need about 3000w of panel to generate that. I think for the odd occasion you'd be best off just using a generator on a specific...

    Wacky new form of measurement.

    Hmm I'm 42! So not exactly young. We went over to decimalisation in 73 I believe? So you've had 43 years to get used to the idea! I do think our country is bizarre though we are half arsed with metric. As the example on here show. We have walking maps etc that are in km yet we still have...

    Wacky new form of measurement.

    Mm is straight forward. 12mm + 24mm = 36mm 1/12 + 1/15 = 2/27 or rather it doesn't. You can't easily use a calculator to work it out. It's just a bizarre system. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Who is in and who is out?

    Half in half out? So I assume that you'd want us to have the Euro and pour our cash into Greece etc? I for one am very glad we're not in the euro. I was on the fence for a long time. The known vs the unknown but for me two things became clear: Firstly and most importantly we get to elect our...
