Lets talk about what's going on in the UK right now.

Not been here much but I gave up that silly facebook thing and there is a void in my evenings now the nights are drawing back in so thought I would spend a bit more time here again.

As ever there's lots of US topics what with it being predominantly made up of US members caught up in what seems to be a left/right divide and some terrible devastating weather that I hope ends soon for them but in the meantime what's going on in the UK worth chatting about?

I try to avoid the news as it gets me into arguments but I see that Jezza C is thinking about becoming a vegan and that the total pillock Jacob Rees Mogg has folks talking about him as a future candidate for PM??????

Other than that what else of interest is occuring that is worthy of a lighthearted ATS debate or 3?

Got to be the most embarressed in the world right now I think.

There is this thread I created involving your country.

It's all happening in the UK...

Woman trapped in window trying to retrieve poo after Tinder date

A woman who threw her poo out of her date's toilet window because it "would not flush" had to be rescued after she got stuck trying to retrieve it.

The amateur gymnast was on a first date with Bristol student Liam Smith when she "panicked" and threw the faeces out of the window.

It did not land in the garden, but became wedged between two non-opening windows.

After climbing in head first after it, she became wedged.

Mr Smith had to call the fire service for help.

Ok I almost pooped myself laughing while reading that.

Does that have to do with the photos from their honeymoon? The topless ones?
If you're not allowed to be sexy with your husband on your honeymoon when are you? The privacy invaders.

Mr's May is so deluded she thinks she will still be PM by the time of the next election , I think that's quite amusing.

He's not naked. He has a sock on. Just one mind you but it was enough to give Darby status in Harry Potter.

Here's an interesting little story.
Posh landowner invites travellers to move on to her property - so they can 'ruin village for locals'

A landowner in the Cambridgeshire countryside wants travellers to move onto her property - so they can 'ruin the village for the locals'.

Linda Watson, 48, who lives in picturesque Kirtling, says she would be the "happiest woman going" if travellers took up her offer of a two-and-a-half acre plot. Free of charge.

Linda's only condition is that any new occupants "ruin the village" – as her neighbours, she says, are "so far up their own a***""

I can't believe Kim Jong-un is responsible for 9/11. We have to make him pay!
