Almost forgot to call you idiot there.

Actually it was buddug being rude. As for my "don't know any better opinions", I'm just as capable of doing a google search as you (which is clearly what you've done). Bankers bonuses are disgusting, but a very different issue. Yes it's unfair that these RMT members get less than other RMT members, but you have to ask, why are any of them being paid bonuses for their normal working hours?

Equally, just because the RMT have managed to bully ?650+ bonuses for London rail staff, does that make it right? Don't get me wrong, I think the money being spent on the Olympics is sickening, and this would be a drop in the ocean overall, but I just don't see why these people deserve to be paid anything extra for doing their job at a busy time. Fair play to them, if I was one of them, and I was being told I might get a few hundred quid, I guess I'd be happy enough to go along with it, but something should be done about Bob Crow and pals, because you hear more about bloody tube workers striking than anyone else!

Charming as ever. Could you not have just posted Without feeling the need to be rude to someone first?

buddug, why do you call me Atila? As I've said, I genuinely couldn't care less whether there is a CPZ or not, but some of the posts on here are just nasty. Even people who totally oppose James Barber's point of view have said as much. I have never met or spoken to James, and I've disagreed with him pretty strongly on various things, but I've never felt the need to make a personal attack on him. You have a MAJOR gripe about a housing issue, and feel that James did a bad job for you. Even if that is 100% true, you are one person, with one issue. I hardly think that is evidence on which to claim James Barber is bad at his job. Bloody grow up!

I'm afraid I'm with fazer. Beautiful building and lovely outdoor area. That's where the good stuff ends. The service seems to be bad whoever is working. I think it must be part of the training.

Spot on!

HAHAHAHAHAHA, That is brilliant.

And for the record, I couldn't give a rats tail about the CPZ, but the nastiness on this thread kind of makes me hope it happens, just to annoy some unpleasant people.

Puzzled's problem is that s/he really isn't very good at manners. s/he is just a smalltime busybody and really is the last person who should be talking about who should be elected to anything. I imagine s/he is among the least popular people with his/her acquaintances of all walks of life. Obviously I know none of that to be true, just as you puzzled don't really know much (anything?) about James Barber the person. Neither do I, but I at least have the manners to call someone by their first name. What are you, some 1990s Harry Enfield enthusiast?

Even if you're right Huguenot, and I don't know enough about the law to know, at least by giving this lady the inquest that she wants, and probably needs, it could offer closure. Even if at the end of it his cause of death is still recorded as "accidental death", she will have had a full inquest, and will no longer feel that doors are slammed in her face. Still hate the throwing around of the word "justice", but can totally understand the need for a full inquest. Truth for the 96 would be more appropriate perhaps. Agree with BR about the police, it's not like they set out that morning to fuck up the Liverpool fans, and I'll bet a fair few of them have nasty dreams about that day too.

Up the OXO tower! Never heard that before!

That is completely unreasonable. The whole point of a vote, is that people vote for what they believe. James doesn't have to vote with the majority!

I'm not against a deserved bonus being paid, but I don't see why the tube staff should feel they will deserve it. During the Olympics, they will be very busy, as will police (my friend has been told he can't book any time off for 15 weeks this summer), the shop staff in Westfields, the bus drivers, the street cleaners, the hotel staff. The list goes on, what makes tube staff different?

I wish we attended some of the same groups as you people. I'm always convinced our daughter is the only one, as she runs around waving the baby Jesus that she's nicked from the crib, whilst ALL the other kids sit like angels!

Chippy, what do you care about the tube, you've got your car ;-)

I tend to agree.

Wike works fine on Opera Mini on my phone.

Yep, he "died" falling down the waterfall with Prf M, but then made a miraculous comeback 2 years later. Love the fact he was a coke feind.

Do like what he says about the Beatles and The Stones.

And what I initially said. Sorry people, I won't intrude further on the CPZ thread, I just don't like people using selective quoting to misrepresent me. For the record, I couldn't give a toss if you own 5 4x4s, as has been said, if you can afford it, go ahead, you don't need to justify it. I just hate people trying to justify it by claiming their life would be over without their cars.

Not a book, but ''Lemmy" the movie gives quite an interesting insight in to the workings of a rock legend, and genuine loon!
