I've no idea what The Fox likes musically, but I do know that this is Trumpy's fav...

I'm sorry but it's impossible to discuss hair and shampoo in a thread without mentioning... Because he's worth it

I think the proliferation of Trump threads has at least one good purpose, I now know how to wind Quids up :)...

Lord Ricketts makes an interesting point on this issue, saying that to invite a POTUS so soon is unprecedented (no pun intended). Instead of waiting to see how Trump performs, May is clearly playing on his narcissism by offering a sweetener of getting to meet dear old Queenie as part of trade deal 'negotiations'...

I can see the similarities Unc, both of you like to throw hand grenades without actually producing any evidence/facts to back them up. Seabag is still waiting for you to answer his questions by the way...

Does that mean Quids is Aggie?!...

You were supposed to use vacuousness, not There you go...tsk, amateur!

Anyway, protest has taken many forms over the years, Suffragettes, Gandhi, Civil Rights, Poll Tax etx. Online petitions are just another way. After so much apathy I'm glad people are engaging in politics again even if it is at a superficial level. Nothing that is said on here will make any difference in the grand scheme of things, but it doesn't stop us all chipping in. I think your rage is against the vacuousness* of social media in general, and I'm with you on that... *There you go Lou, you can have that one for free, please use sparingly

HOUSE!!...

Back in the day the then ageing, cynical 50-somethings probably thought the same about the ANL/RAR marches/gigs. Remember them?..;-)

Part of being in a democracy is the right to protest, one avenue of expressing protest in the modern world of social media is to sign an online petition. Whether it actually solves anything misses the point. If you don't like democracy move to North Korea, they also have a dictator with a dodgy barnet...

I'm sure Tony Crossland is rhyming slang for sumfink...

All I need is 'grammar schools' and I've got House! on Uncleglen Bingo...

Should that 'rule' apply to threads about gentrification issues Lou?...

What I don't understand with the Payet situation is that if he wanted to go to Marseilles for family reasons (he's supposedly taking a ?25k/week pay cut which would seem to back this up), why did he have to threaten to not play/fake an injury etc? Surely if he had gone to the club and explained his situation they would've shown some understanding, maybe tell him to play until the end of the season and he can then leave in the summer. It seems strange in these circumstances that it escalated to threats of not playing so quickly...

Here you go Jah, thought I'd save you the time... https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jan/29/spurs-manchester-united-city-daniel-levy-china-premier-league

Make that 7, good to see some new faces...

I think clubs do still scout the lower leagues, the difference being that the network is now global and not limited to the home countries, hence less make it through. Regan Poole was signed by Utd from Newport, hopefully one for the future... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37307906

May I remind you Ms Louisa that it was I who originally used the ''look at me'' put-down and it was aimed directly at your good self. Well they say imitation is the highest form of flattery...

The OP stubbing their toe seems an apt metaphor for our post-Brexit existentialist crisis, a pause of nothingness, then the pain as a dystopian reality takes hold. As for the meeting I thought it was a bag of shite...

I've never used it but I like CockWomble, always makes me :)...

It was a big chance for Murray to get a third different slam. He'll never get the number of slams like Fed, Rafa & Djock, but if he got all 4 he'd be right up there on that basis alone. Missed opportunity...

I've no idea what you're on about JohnL...

Alternative truth?! C'mon, get your post-facts right...

Guilty feet have got no rhythm...
