Following on from the car thread, what are the non automotive things that well, would have others throwing things at you...

I will start.

Aside from Goldeneye, there has never been a good James Bond film.

I thought that the concept of the Poll Tax was quite reasonable (still do).

We did have something similar:

Regardless, mine is that Oxfordshire is not in the South East, no matter how desperate the residents there are to be included, they're only 25 miles from Wales FFS.

And, for the NPE lot, Boris did a good job, and something something Scottish independence. hehe

Fixed that for you.

Also, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and U2 are the three most over rated bands of all time

I actually think the use of 'z' in US spellings of words like 'authorisation' makes sense. They're still wrong about the date format and their avoidance of the letter 'u' though.

It was apparently done to protect fragile bone China from thermal shock. With your Pyrex mugs it probably makes no difference.

All the Daniel Craig James Bond movies are rubbish, and when they were lighthearted they were much better.

Rogue One (A Star Wars Story) was boring bilge.

Top Gun was crap.

Firms that 'help out' charities by giving their staff a day off work to spend a day painting walls/building fences ETC are wasting everyone's time. If they can afford to spend a days pay without getting benefit to the business, then give the money to charity and they can hire tradesmen or women who actually know what they are doing. If the charity need a room repainted, why (effectively) hire a systems analyst or management accountant to do it for them instead of a painter?

Legal opinion rather than automotive, honest. Crash helmets should not be compulsory. To the argument that people who crash without helmets might need expensive treatment they wouldn't have needed if they wore a helmet. I point out that 1) In some circumstances they might need expensive treatment if they did wear a helmet, while without it would just be a case of hosing down the road and informing next of kin, and 2) pretty much everyone would wear a helmet anyway.

Buying stuff from abroad instead of from the UK doesn't mean loss of jobs in the UK. Pounds sterling can only be spent in the UK.

Corporation tax is a ridiculous tax. Governments like it because it's so difficult to figure out whose pocket it's coming out of, which is why it's a bad tax.

'Bond loathed and despised tea, that flat, soft, time-wasting opium of the masses'

To quote a certain Ian Fleming

Arguing about milk first or last is like arguing about the best way to polish a turd, the end result is still a piece of ste.

Our democracy is a marionette show to keep the plebs calm. It matters not who wins the Conservative leadership contest, or the next election.
