Viaplay launches here in the UK this year.

What irritates me is the way so many people keep droning on about their mental health. We’ve gone from the sublime, where nobody talks about it, to the ridiculous, when people can’t leave the subject alone.

It’s the latest fad, following everyone and…

I’d invest in one of the streamers if I were you. Watching Eurovision is an act of desperation!

Not long after I wrote my message last night, the heavens opened and it pelted down!

This morning has dawned cloudy, but the sun should come out ibn a couple of hours and it should be a pleasant day.

Thunderstorms forecast tonight and here in the Thames Valley, there’s plenty of lightning flashing away. Not too much rain as yet though.

Yes, and that was actually a good idea. But I think you are right - it’s taken on too much and needs to get back to basics.

In theory, but it’s not been happening in practice. Money the government gave to the NHS recently to assist them in referring people on for private care was never used. The NHS management appear to be making decisions on ideological…

We need better co-operation between the two sectors to get maximum benefits for patients.

Starmer will live to regret banging on about parties. Serves him right.

Given that the right to bear arms is in the US Constitution, I can’t see the laws over there being revised to ban firearms in my grandsons’ lifetimes, let alone mine!

Has anyone told her the story of the Emperor’s New Clothes? Someone should take her to one side….

With so many shows now being denied to the pay TV channels, Sky will need to up its game and produce more original content. Nice to see they are commissioning some new factual material as well as stepping up productions at Sky Studios as announced last…

Look out for this one, which might be a bit of good science fiction!

I wouldn’t be so worried if he was at death’s door, but he could hang on for quite a while yet. How many more ill-informed and disastrous decisions will he make in the meantime?

The mines had to close. They were unprofitable and were impoverishing us.

I feel sorry for the miners who were left without a job, some of whom never found work again. There was no real alternative though, and Labour would have had…
