Not before the aliens on this site. Has no one noticed the head shape of the smileys?

Hey Boss, I had a look on the virus thread. I've left a post, it will probably be my only one. First and last pages glimpsed. How can so many people argue over so much that they know nothing about? I was actually laughing as I read it. Statistics abound - as usual all contradicting each other or being misinterpreted/misrepresented. People love to be scared don't they.

You just called GD Boss what the hell is Mrs House putting in your Tea these days

[Lowbankclaret]

You're right up to a point but having just gone through several Google answers it's becoming complicated. The Derwent is a tributary of other rivers and the one I was looking for isn't. Best to reveal my answer I think and that's the Eden. The Eden flows out of the Lake District directly into the sea near Carlisle.

I liked geography at school many years ago and it's one of those strange FACTS that I've always remembered.

I have fished the Eden, it starts on the same mountain range as the Ribble. Ribble goes south, Eden goes north.

So effectively a net gain of people per year in the region of the UK population. Not sure how many people this planet can cope with but would certainly be interesting to see it in a few hundred years time.....or not sure I’d want to tbh

That's a good fact TT. Got me looking at the map. It appears Aberdeen is also West of Leeds, Sheffield and Nottingham. Funny place Scotland.

Unless something is seriously done to curb the population in a few hundred years you really wouldn't want to be here. We are apparently nearly at the tipping point of no return. I fear because of what needs to be done, but some kind of mass cull is required and that is a whole other matter. If it wasn't for the two world wars last century we would be in an awful state by now when you consider not those who died (most would be gone now anyway) but their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren who weren't born because of the wars. It's an awful cynical way of looking at things I know but there needs to be a mass slaughter of the population occasionally to counter our overwhelming success as a species. The only other way I suppose would be some kind of mass forced infertility programme to at least slow things down somewhat. Either way something drastic needs to be done or famine will do the job for us.

I wish I didn't think like this but what else can you do?

If that's what make somebody a liar in your book fair enough, I think he's a liar the difference being I can't be 100% as I've never witnessed him tell a lie.

Really? You've never heard him lie? What about his lie about the £350,000,000 a week we'd be able to give to the NHS if we left Europe? We are out of Europe now, but not a word about that kind on money going to the NHS, even though with COVID-19 around and seriously ill patients having to wait four hours for bed, (Today's report.) the NHS has never needed more help.

We could or we will is slightly different, I wasn't there, it was a leave campaign slogan on a bus, it's impossible to be 100% sure someone is a liar until you've personally witnessed them, it's not up for argument, I'm not a Tory or sticking up for him, regarding brexit he's got my backing for that reason alone.

"I wasn't there, it was a leave campaign slogan on a bus."

It might have been on a bus but he backed that slogan, time and time again. Are you saying that a lie on TV is not a lie?

That's not a fact, that's debatable as was shown on the other thread, I've had an encounter when I was younger hence being more open minded than some,

Hence lowercase fact and question marks
