    He sings songs that remind him of the good times,

    Julian Assange has been arrested after the Ecuadorean embassy withdrew the asylum status they'd given him and invited the Met to take him away.

    After seven years they'd had enough of him leaving the toilet seat up, leaving wet towels on the bathroom floor after he’s had a shower, leaving dishes in the sink instead of doing the washing up when its his turn and eating the hummus that was in the fridge clearly labelled Ecuador’s.

    He's been hiding there for seven years claiming that if he came out he'd be extradited to the USA, he's going to look rather silly if they don't...

    Apparently the charge he faces in the States only carries a five year maximum tariff. He would have been better off just accepting the extradition, he'd be out now. :lol:

    If he had pleaded guilty to the sexual molestation charges in Sweden he'd have paid a fine and none of this would have happened.

    What a hero...

    There is something a little creepy about Assange. I don`t like to judge people, but I wouldn`t buy a second hand car from him.

    Or leave my other half alone in a room with him...

    This 'other half' would be quite happy to be left alone in a room with him...

    Would make a 5 year stretch a lot more attractive.

    If you've not discovered them already can I heartily recommend Ladybirds for Grown Ups. These make perfect toilet books as it takes as much time to read them as it does to take your ease.

    Today I was reading “The Ladybird book of the Do-Gooder”.

    “Sponsored Talk Like a Pirate Day has gone down very badly at The Samaritans.”

    Just as well I was sat on the toilet...

    They got the rub of the green on a couple of penalty decisions. ;)

    Notre Dame burns down. I'm more angry than sad, so many old buildings undergoing "restoration" or "improvements" have suffered fires, its pure negligence and complacency.
  • chicagohammerchicagohammer
    Notre Dame is certainly a saddening event, I agree that it is probably negligence and complacency and thus it should have been avoided.

    It is an even sadder sign of the times however, that I take some comfort that the fire was not the direct result of malicious intent.

    I work for a French company and have been lucky enough to travel to Paris a number of times, it is truly a beautiful city.

    The images were quite shocking to see

    Oh :whome:
  • TheMadcapLaughsTheMadcapLaughs
    I`m not religious, but I love old churches and cathedrals, very peaceful and atmospheric, wherever we go on holiday, home or abroad, I love a mooch. The thing that has struck me about Notre Dame is the appeal fund. Grenfell burns to the ground, £20 million (ish), an old building burns to the ground £1 billion (ish). In two days. I find it staggering. Not making a point as such, I was just staggered by the amount raised. :nonono:
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    I suppose many see Notre Dame as a national treasure?
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    Notre Dame is generally regarded by the French as a symbol of their country, something to be proud of, something cherished, something unique. In a word that is horrifically overused these days, iconic.

    Grenfell on the other hand represented something unpleasant about our country. something to be ashamed of, something people didn't want to think about - although not helped by the media depicting all council tenants as "scroungers" and "immigrants".

    From what I saw the other day, three French based family companies had put up £500m between them.

    It is a huge sum, but from a relatively small group.
  • HammerwombatHammerwombat
    Yes, French corporations have been generous in donations. My own employer has donated £100m euro. But Paris is where our headquarters are, and the company are proud of their heritage and part of French and Parisian culture.

    And of course it is tax deductible :whistle:

    Cars. :puzzled:

    I just don't get it. Never have.

    Mate, it's a car. It has wheels. You use it to get to places.
