I still feel that they are the easiest and most reliable image hosting service. I have tried many others: hotflick.net, postimage.io, imagevenue.com, pixhost.to, pixxxels.cc, and none of these I found to be as simple as imagebam. Now I am using postimage.io for non-adult photos and pixhost.to for nude posts., but if when imagebam comes back and their format has not changed I may go back to them. You darn buzzards!

Same here I've re-upped thousands of not only my posts but many old posts by other members, they've pissed in the soup where I'm concerned with this debacle

What a shame he didn't follow Piers Moron to the US

Cash for votes folks.

Roll on the next election, I think I'm going to offer my vote to the highest bidder on eBay.

That's not to say anyone didn't know that a deal with the DUP was coming, but there's something very wrong and rather unethical about a badly run political party in serious trouble making financial arrangements with a bunch of creationist nutters just to hold on to what little they have. And all this with taxpayers money!

If the situation had been reversed and Corbyn had pulled a stunt like this, all Hell would have broken loose.

And I'd just add that I'm not exactly a Corbyn supporter, or in tune with all their proposals or ideas. I just wonder what the point of voting for anyone is most of the time.

Without having read the nuts and bolts of the agreement, it seems to me that the DUP are now going to have influence over policies affecting us all far in excess of the proportion of the vote they received. Policies that a fair number of the Conservative party voted against in the polling booths. As another poster alluded to earlier, if it wasn't for the mandatory 5-year term of governments laid down in law unscrupulous politicians, of any stripe, would go to any lengths to hold on to power, even in the face of clear objection from the electorate.

What chance now of an easing of the austerity politics of the last 8 years?

And 'Saving Ulster from Sodomy!' if you're in the DUP.

Big Brother faces axe over "encouraging extreme violence'' and poor viewing figures

Violence and poor viewing figures could mean civilian Big Brother is axed, according to reports.

Viewer Gary Lack-Jones has set up a petition calling for the show to be scrapped as it overstepped the mark with its violence, swearing and racial slurs.

The petition has been set up on change.org and it's hoping Ofcom will take notice before viewers hope to send it to Channel 5.
