..or Sue she's up for it. The sefless among us can deal with this whilst us selfish buggers don't have to put up with it or their condescending idiotic bullshit.

Just ask DJKQ to invite them to park right outside hers as she's so kind and acommodating and human and quite happy about that. She'll do it at the drop of a hat - problem solved.

Globalisation has pulled millions and millions of Chinese, Indian, Indonesian, Thai, Brazilian, etc out of poverty and is even beginiing to do so in Africa. I know it's a filthy word among the usual suspects ie any brainless lefties with their paint by numbers politics and they just won't have it but it is a fact.

Brendan.... Brendan? The foul mouthed colonial alcoholic? He's great.

See the chokers have choked :))

If the US, UK, NATO have not changed their spots - and of course they haven't - is 'No intervention the only thing we can say? Sounds like a lecture, not a debate

I spit on idealism DC...that works left and right

Too much sleep in the day could be an answer? The amount needed can just drop quite quickly with development

..not that the more idealistic of the libeterian right have been fantastic in their interpretation of global events nor has the application of their ideas on the world stage has been great

Kind of supports the view that extreme leftism is just about understandable among idiotic naive students but beyond that you really should grow out of it- Tony Benn, acclaimed as some sort of hero by the left, soon enough resigned from Govt when he was a minister on grounds of 'principle' ie when he had to actually do some governing raher than pontificate on his idealism, the greatness of the Soviet Union and how wonderful Mr Mao was.... the full "......has no heart.....has no brain" quote seems one of the wisest political lines. Idealism, I spit on it.

Do you want to buy some magic beans by the way?

We could start a forum :)-D

Don't I get a small cheer?

Man appears at door, with no merchandise, and asks for a ?100 upfront cash - what's wrong with that? What next, you'll be telling me the perfume you buy off milk crates on Oxford Street isn't the real deal? ...anyway, I have access to the Nigerian Sovreighn Development Fund worth ?275 million, if u pass me your bank account details etc

er, co-incidental, I only just noticed your 3 year thing

having said that I've never been on a forum where it wasn't "at its best about 3 years ago"*, even ones that are only 6 months old *'tis true though

Well it is. I think the local element helps a bit I've posted on other sites befor but drift way fairly quickly. You get to meet people, you have images to maintain, you get in on in jokes, you create in jokes, some people make you laugh out loud, you like to fight with others, there is actually some useful stuff, I've even grown to like the Drawing Room too. Personally I wish everyone still posted on here but understand why they don't. I've had far more return and fun out of here than say Facefuck...by miles. I'll soldier on to 10,000.

9847 MP...surely you can indulge yourself to 10,000?

They are all the same person Mr Ben..pay attention

If he was offering Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a an 'italian rustic' Bruschetta for ?4.50 a slice on the Lane he'd be considered kosher

It did just make me realise just how sh1t the next two years will be - although, in contrast to you DC I guess, I don't thinks there's much different he can do nor do I think much of it is his fault. The west is getting a reality check on living beyond its means and the world's wealth is actually getting distributed more equitably than in the past thanks to globalisation, the left should welcome this if they're truly into equality rather than just protecting their own self interests. As a generalisation we are all going to be a bit poorer until we get some proper firmly based growth from diverse enterprise driven economy...we certainly can't stick it on the credit card anymore.
