Far, far worse imho.
Also for mining users' personal data.
Local community groups can be useful for finding recommended tradespeople; and it can also be good for sharing interests in specific groups such as dog-owners - but people need to be a lot more careful than most are to never share their real birthday, geographical address etc. |

It’s never too late to learn, and if you do ever find the time, this forum can be a great educator once you work out who’s worth listening to (on all of ‘left’, ‘right’ and ‘middle’); and who to ignore. |

I’ve only ever seen about 10 minutes of the ‘Traitors’ reality show, but your idea sounds suspiciously like that, in which case thanks but no thanks! |

I’m finding all these comments saying how awful it is now really puzzling tbh.
Perhaps there are few people on here now who remember the Wild West days of 25, 20 and even 15 years ago? There were, I’d say, at least 3x more incredibly abusive, obnoxious people whose modus operandi was irrationally & shouting down those with reasonable but opposing views; and lord help you if you were openly female.
Can only say that this now feels like a really safe space for me as a woman and elderly person; I think the same probably goes for people who are gay, neurodivergent etc. too. I think Phil and Gav have done a fantastic job in making it so, and deserve a great deal of credit for that. |

What word would you pick as the opposite of ’smarmy’; and which of our former managers would you say best matched it?
Think I might go for ‘gritty’ and MM; or ‘greasy’ and Paul Jewell  [Post edited 17 Sep 18:37]

I have my phone with me all the time (to receive calls & texts; and for safety) - doesn’t mean I have time to use it for reading or posting on TWTD (or X) though! |

My question is - where do people find the time to be continually posting in such threads?
I’m retired, and am way too busy to even read, never mind post, on most of them! As such, I have to be selective about what threads I click on, which kinda solves the ‘problem’! |

Find it strange to be an outlier on this, as a few years ago I’d probably have agreed with you.
Now, however, I find most of the old sh1t stirrers gone, and the board comparatively pleasant.
The key thing is probably that I’m way, way too busy in my life outside TWTD to join in most of the same old same old sociopolitical threads; a substrata of that being I think I know from previous experience what’s going to be said, and who’s going to say it anyway, which makes them extra easy to ignore.
X is the only other platform I’m on, but also now use that far less than I used to.
Just be selective about what you choose to read folks! |

Whilst I sympathise with the relative driving according to the reasonable presumption (we’ve all done it) of cars in front accelerating away while lights are green, it’s actually a really dangerous presumption - there can always be unforeseen hazards, like a kid or dog suddenly running across, necessitating an emergency stop.
And it’s never minor to be shunted from behind, always a psychological shock even if no physical injury, + inconvenience of car being out of action while repaired.
Speaking from the experience of being shunted from behind by a HGV on a sliproad - the driver was obviously expecting me to pick up speed and join the empty motorway, when in fact I was being flagged down by a couple of workmen in hi vis to stop and wait while they cleared the last few cones from where they’d been working. He was either not paying attention or they were in a blind spot for him. He stove in the rear door of my Landrover Defender despite the spare tyre being on it, & I was picking out glass beads from the cab for a year afterwards. Luckily my dog wasn’t on board - if he had been, he’d probably have been seriously injured, or worse.
Always drive within your stopping distance is the lesson. |

I imagine Nigel Farage's butt looks rather like that, considering the amount of 💩 💩💩💩 he emits. |

I think those concerned have probably had about 56 yellow cards each by now!
Phil’s too kind and tolerant for his own good.

SKM is a troublemaker?
Seeing as DaveU never posts, only votes, leaving just weeping and SKM as the two.
I’ll write a character ref for SKM if he needs one - one of the best posters on here imho :) |
