Introducing myself as a new forum member

[StageMan]

Hello Forum Members, I'm new to the forum. I'm a 64 year old Disabled Vet that's on a very meager disability compensation, and at this late date in my life, I have now got to fix things myself again. What I used to be able to fix and what I knew about fixing things is a lot harder and a lot less familiar now than it was 30 years ago. I should never have stopped fixing things.

Welcome to the forum.

How is life over there?

Thank You Lou.
It's about the same as it is over there. Contentious between us citizens and those citizens we hired via elections who are supposed to REPRESENT US, but think that they are now our RULERS! I periodically watch your House of Commons on BBC. I personally like the way it's set up over there where the two sides are looking directly at each other versus our semi-circle setup. It's good to look the opponent in the eye and lambast them to their face. LOL

Our lot would be better off NOT facing each other. It brings a simple discussion into personal attacks by being face to face confrontational.

Might be more useful if they just addressed the the Speaker of the House, more akin to a judge in a courtroom.

It wasn’t that long ago that UK parliament was not televised. You would get the press reporters version of what was said/ shouted
