I have a feeling that that's more a commentary on the people you heard it from than on the "few self-obsessed locals"!

Now we get to know for sure if May is a genuine reformer or just another establishment-owned BS'er. If there is no undertaking to create a properly elected House of Lords in the Tory Party manifesto we'll all know the truth. The current "desire" to reduce the numbers simply won't wash!

Yes in the latest update to Windows they don't let you switch snoopy Cortana off. But why would anyone want it off because - as we're told - it is simply there to help us organise our busy lives? Well... even supposing I was happy with yet another US mega-corporation being custodian of all my data, it takes up valuable memory on machines with factory limited RAM where I need to have some say in what that RAM is used for (and this isn't Microsoft bloat!). In order to get the thing off your task-bar you now have to -gasp- edit the Windows Registry. This isn't as risky as all the pundits would have you believe (unless you are a total fool). But please note that this simple guide is for the usual Windows Home editions and not intended for "Pro" versions of Windows. First thing to do is to turn off some of the intrusive stuff: Windows Key + i to get to the SettIngs. Select the Privacy sectction then in the switches to the right turn everything off. (Actually I leave the "Let websites provide locally relevant content by..." on, as it of some use to me, but everything else is a cheeky intrusion.) Now it's time to carefully edit the Windows Registry... Windows key + r then type regedit into the command window and hit the OK button. You'll need to give the admin level program the go ahead as normal. Click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE then SOFTWARE then Policies then Microsoft If there's a Windows Search category under Microsoft here then you need to use that, but it's more than probable that you'll need to create one by the Edit menu: Edit --> New -> Key Make sure you are creating this new key in the correct place ie. under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Policies/Microsoft by checking this in the status bar at the bottom of the Regedit window. Now you need to create a value called AllowCortana by Edit menu: Edit --> New --> DWORD (32 bit) Value. The default value of this DWORD of zero (0x00000000 (0)) is just what you need, so you are done! Reboot (Restart) the machine and Cortana will no longer appear of your task-bar and bother you again. --------------------------- Note: I created this simple tutorial as a future reminder to myself, but I hope it's useful to others and welcome comments.

It has certainly changed the blast doors on Assad's aircraft bunkers! It has also changed the Russian TV coverage of the Trump presidency. Will it prevent more children being gassed? Well... if it hopefully does it's something that utter washout Obama could have done, before making a virtue out of not keeping his word. I seem to remember that the liberal left were behind Obama at every turn. If it pans out for the better then some would say that the woolly-minded lefties have "blood on their hands". Not me though, as I don't yet know. I only know that hand wringing, virtue signalling, lefty liberals create far more human and social problems than they ever address.

So... 25 Labour MPs have just signed a motion which indicates that Trump hasn't gone far enough in launching 59 cruise missiles, whilst parties "on the right" are urging caution and saying that he's acted prematurely, and that we need proof. If you'd even suggested such a possibility a few weeks back you'd have been labeled a fantasist. Should I now suggest that Sweden's terminally deluded liberal-left elites are starting to think rationally about the horrendous problems they alone have created in their formerly idyllic country? Naah.. you can probably take this fantasy thing too far!

Now do you see the "cunning plan"? Pairing Galaxy S8 with Microsoft apps seen as benefit to business customers

Yay - Ukip colours! Does this mean the revolution is almost complete?

The subtle difference Drunker doesn't acknowledge is that US voters have an actual choice as to who governs them. The Brussels apparatchiks were never too keen on referenda, but now they are totally outlawed by diktat, because they are very unlikely to deliver the "correct" result. We are out not a moment too soon!

Naah... it's all due to "Climate Change"! Mind you there are serious clams that CC caused Brexit, and I suppose "The Russians" could e-a-s-i-l-y be behind CC, so everyone is right, really! Also... CC is causing everyone to go a quite mental (except me and you of course), so that has to fit into the big picture - somewhere. Climate change can take a toll on mental health, new report says

And... the great occasion slips into history without even a comment from me - must be slipping folks! Actually, I blame Bre..., no, I mean the crappy keyboard on this temporary replacement tablet computer (as if my normal spelling correction quota wasn't bad enough!). Some excellent comments elsewhere. Best one of this morning from a DE poster: Even the Brussels Broadcasting Corporation is now entertaining. The sight last night of Heseltine being shown how a staunch Tory behaves properly by "young upstart" Rees-Mogg was easily worth sitting through all the other "uncertainty" drivel. Hessa's face at the end said it all. His mace-waving days are long gone, and it seems he's the only one who doesn't know that he should have retired gracefully in the last millennium - where his views belong!

From today's Telegraph: This statement will quite probably rank in the history books with:- "There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home." Ken Olsen, founder of Digital Equipment Corporation, 1977 Maybe the "personally" is the get out clause?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/03/22/major-road-schemes-could-cancelled-david-cameron-rushed-11bn/ Beware Politico's "big bold announcements" because they won't be picking up the bill - we will! Most things Dodgy Dave did weren't properly considered, and his "shoot from the hip" style was all about perception.. May is fully aware of this, hence her frequent "politics is not a game" utterances. Cameron is rightfully gone, but Gideon is aiming to make a comeback. Anyone who votes for anything that will facilitate this needs be aware of Osborne's political games. The fact that Heseltine is now advocating that he's competent and capable says it all! We elect Eton bully boys at OUR COST!

He said "Oh no! Another political legacy gone west-land!".

Well, that's OK then! https://www.politicshome.com/news/uk/government-and-public-sector/news/84311/labour-mp-ian-lavery-cleared-wrongdoing-over Doubtless an NUM investigative committee will give him "a fair hearing" too. ;)

This doesn't sound like a chancellor who should be buying any new furnishings for No 11! Next cabinet reshuffle?

It's pretty obvious what forfeiture must mean here. Forfeiture of the advantage which the Tory Party gained by deception - the election result! I've no longer any confidence in Hammond!

Yet another of Dodgy Dave's "cast iron promises" proves utterly worthless!

Right conclusion Eggy, but I'm a little confused as to how you got there! We took an archaic system (hereditary peers who gave their time for free) and replaced it with a system which encouraged cronyism on an unprecedented scale, then called it progress. Next time we need to a lot less gullible, and a lot more aware of the self-rewarding games our elites get up to! I'm told about thirty of these lords-a-voting enjoy fat EU pensions which are contractually tied to doing nothing which the EU even mildly disapproves of - yet, have any of them declared this fact?

It's the usual EU elitist tactic of keep on voting until we hear the answer we want to hear, and then stop for evermore - because you'll never be given a second chance to escape. If their senilityships REALLY cared about what the country wants they'd stop trying to dilute and emasculate what the public voted for. Dodgy Dave made it very clear (and spent over £9M of OUR money doing so) that a vote to leave meant leaving the so-called "Single European Market", so all the rest is pure waffle and obstructionism. I'm beginning to believe that abolition is too good for them!

...or NPL = Normally Propagandising Labour?

Was it the Blyth News or the Chronicle that font-paged the artist's concept of the redeveloped Bedlington Town Centre one exciting evening circa 1964? Whichever, I really think someone should make a start on it - whilst the children of the people who marvelled at that brave new Bedlington are still around!

From a friend who saw it recently with family: Pity, it could have been Eggy's fave film, apart from Singing in the Rain that is.

Which generation would that be?
