    I've never understood why any service should need my card details if I'm signing up for a free trial. I now don't sign up to free trials that require payment details up front becau…

    I also cycle my commute. When I used to cycle to the old office this was 14 mile commute on a variety of surfaces. When I initially rode on the road I would gutter crawl; cars woul…

    At first I thought it was a site encouraging people to buy up foreclosed homes on the cheap. I don't think it was just you confused by the slightly misleading domain name. However …

    I had to read your reply a few times. I thought you were accusing me of having my own sidebar of shame. So you think the Daily Mail tactic is kinda like, Hide in plain sight?

    Unfortunately the Daily Mail is one of the most read newspapers in the U.K. How the D.M gets away with preaching about this kind of thing baffles me though, especially because of t…

    It's almost like you didn't read the words the parent wrote, he never advocated sailing on over and starting tours... These people want to be left alone and should be left alone. T…

    I am currently reading this due to another post about this same guy a couple of weeks back. I would highly recommend it, though it is truly upsetting, I have to keep reminding myse…

    First off, this made me laugh, I wish more of my friends would do just this "instead of taking pictures of pancakes and uploading them to instagram, I just fucking eat them." Secon…

    "Refuse to patronize businesses that don't work to your schedule." I don't think this is a valid point. When you arrange an appointment, meeting or lunch with another party/parties…

    Yes but the situation here isn't a handing over is it really? This isn't/won't be an extradition. If the US were to arrest him on arrival when they have pretty much inferred he has…

    I may be reading into this a bit more than needed, but, why the inclusion of the white anglo? Do you think the UK government would be more likely to let any other ethnic origin UK …
