Am I right in thinking that before it's news, something needs to have happened?
An event.
Not a possibility, not a trendy opinion, not politicking, an event.
The best news station is the BBC...
The BBC is guilty of propagating fake news many times over. Just think of the predictions of doom and disaster it made over Brexit.
And anything good that happened did so "in spite of Brexit".
The...
There is talk about local lockdowns again, and lockdown according to age, but I have a better idea.
:
People should be locked down and isolated according to intelligence.
The ones who flock to...
The top one is indeed a French bayonet of WW1 vintage.
Bottom one looks arabic, and is definitely a dagger!
It's called "progress".
I think that's a good idea - it would be a refreshing change, and honest.
"We've never been in this position before, so we're doing the best we can as we go along".
Most of us would find that...
If work was such a good thing.....
The rich would keep it all for themselves!
I don't know about you, but I am getting fed up with those politicians and journalists who seem to know all the things the government should have done to mitigate this pandemic, but failed to share...
I remember you, and I think I bought watches from you.
Welcome back to the strange world of Ebid forumland
I disagree that the subscription will put people off: I bought one some years ago, and quickly got my money back compared to the cost of ebay listings.
And here I am years later, and I can still...

And to think I started this thread as a sort of antidote to all the bad news and negativity we were hearing.
It has just degenerated into arguments about what good taste is, or isn't, and what...
Why is it that two people who sought to overturn a 52% vote in favour of Brexit, claiming it was not legitimate, are now both happy to be elected on identical or similar percentages, and cannot see...
I still think there is ambiguity about those parrots:"Every monkey holds 1 parrot in their hands"
If they only held 1 parrot, the phrase would have been "every monkey holds 1 parrot in both hands"...
Hearing that Boris had gone into hospital, then listening each day for news had made me realise that this is the first time I have ever worried about a politician.
Must be something special about...
And do the monkeys have a parrot in each hand ?. This is crucial.
Can't see anything wrong with it, I'm afraid. Looks like a bit of knock-about humour, and a religious symbol.
We probably need both in...
Maybe we'll be a bit more appreciative of those people who enable things to happen, but who are usually paid badly.
I'm thinking of shop workers, delivery drivers, fruit pickers, child-minders, and...
Are you thinking about those goats in Wales?
Fed up with the bad news everywhere.
So I've decided to list all the positive things I can think of that this virus/lockdown has caused:
My local TV news reports that shoplifters and drug dealers...
Yes, somebody needs to invent something like those wands they scan banknotes with to use on e-mails!!
I've also had one of those TV licence e-mails, which I spotted.
But I've also had a genuine...
I found your post today, and found it very comforting.
It resonates very much with me.
Thank you.
Yes, it does seem like being back among friends.
I hope everyone is bearing up under the strain of being confined to barracks.
Best wishes to all.
Have you considered the idea that "Walter" may not be British?
I ask because I read it as "Walter Hombergh", and "Walter" is also a German name.
Are you seeing "Walter Thornbury" because he was...
Amazon do this as well.
They decide that someone is accessing your account, freeze it, and then send you an access code that doesn't work, by e-mail.
If you do nothing, they keep sending you fresh...
I used to buy and sell on Ebid, but stopped some time ago when life's priorities became re-arranged for me.
Lost my wife of 49 years last January, so need to rethink life's opportunities.
I...

I thought of this when I read about people's concerns about Facebook and what they do with information they extract from...
I've never understood Facebook:
Why does anyone want to see someone else's dinner, or pictures of their cat.
And how are normally-cautious politicians induced to come out with outrageous statements...
I use Libre Office, because I'm too poor (and mean) to pay Mr Gates..
It has all the bits that Microsoft Office has, including a database.
And it's all free.
Don't know about JRE, I'm just a...
