    I told you, Duck, use the DuckDuckGo search engine. It's already personalized for you. :p

    Edit: No, I didn't read all the way through before posting.

    The thunder storm we were predicted in South Bucks transpired into a very light 5 minute shower
    Gonna have to water the garden tomorrow
    BBC weather is crap

    Best weather app I use us Dark Sky
    Has up to the minute weather map with personalized warnings if rain prediction exceeds a threshold you can set up. Very much worth the couple of quid £ a year

    @Red Thunder. Agree - better to use own apps for weather prediction - beeb's forecast seems to be old at time of broadcast. I use Rain Alarm Pro on PC and phone and Rainy Days on phone for a world wide picture. You can form a much better picture of what is going to happen.

    Orchestrated weakening of Western 'culture' in my opinion........but who/what is responsible? That's why I have a thing about the beeb and other media outlets - the preoccupation with weakness, vulnerability, open emotional displays and furkin excuses all the bleedin' time. All the blokes sound as though they are just about to have the op and all the girls look as though they already have. Is this what happens in mature 'civilasations' - is that what happened to the Etruscans, Phoenecians, Egyptians, Greeks , Samoans, Romans etc? Do they get so weak they collapse?

    Why is it that the BAME (had to look that up) community is at the highest risk of dying and therefore transmitting Covid and yet every time i see police having to disperse a party it is BAME who are at the centre of it.
    Im sure it’s the government’s fault tho.

    Apparently BAME is adopting little people syndrome so that they can take the BLAME...................

    No, it’s the “trends” apparently... little intrusive spies that watch search topics / subjects in search engines... shared topics / subjects on social media... and report back to a coin collecting agency who uses the data to push companies to the fore by tying them up in trending streams.
    All totally legitimate and not at all open to corruption.

    If you have an iPhone go to settings/ privacy/ analytics and improvements and turn off share iPhone analytics. Then go to advertising and turn off Limit advertising identifier.
    Also check settings/ microphone and uncheck anything you don’t want to use the microphone with.
    Advertising unfortunately is the price we pay for having free video calls, social media, zoom etc. That’s why everyone is after data.

    Schools run by virtually all women. Our currant civil unrest can be traced right back to their policies. Their insistance on any form of punishment being banned has resulted in feral adults (sic) running amok stoked by lefty anarchists. I hate the B.B.C for using just about every programme to carry their agenda. Now I find they will be having a staff quota for ethnic minorities. Has anyone else felt like throwing something heavy through their tv screens?

    This update is just a framework for both Apple and Android devices. There is no trackable or traceable part to it. It has been put there so that any Track and Trace app you wish to download will work correctly. If you do not download an app then it is completely redundant and cannot be turned on or off. More panic mongering by conspiracy theorists.

    YouTube still has some good content... this is a couple of years old now, but totally relevant for snowflake society...
