Just 'cos everyone wants a Bentley doesn't mean the roads are full of them - people can't afford them at current prices and the banks have less money and appettite to lend.

I agree with you MM but it's a sad day when the best speech from our major parties is from an unelected chancer. I don't think and certainly hope the Tories won't get a massive majority and as Sean said I don't think they'll be greeted with the euphoria that Labour were in '97

Not what I said at all, the 'suggesting' being your addition and 'suggests' that's what you are thinking and then implying are my thoughts...bit annoyed with being accused of being at best indifferent to the the use of a word thet as of my earlier post I've made pretty clear I think is not usable as it has racist intent. Sorry for being annoyed at being called racist.

To save you reading all my post

Sean - I was talking about Keef's comment on Sweaty's...you do have a habit of misconstruing posts either by not reading the whole context or making pretty strong 'assumptive' accusations. You did this to MM earlier too as he pointed out. You've form on this before. Read my earlier post (for the first time or again) please. We know you fight the good fight but it gets to the point that we can't discuss anything without you jumping in with NAZIS NAZIS.

;-)

I'm quite happy to use 'Sweaty', I don't think it has the same connotations as 'paki' and they are part of the same ethnic group as me. Nice to see the prejudice that Essex is a hot bed of prejudice continuing if everyone wants to get impossibly sensitive. Acceptable prejudices for the EDF seem to be.. The Middle class ;-) Mum's (especially middleclass ones) Chavs People from Essex Clowns

Given that at the beginning of the season 10 clubs in the Premiership main intent is staying in it and another 5 have probably contingencies for the drop 'just in case', then it won't get voted in by the clubs. In the longer term money or a split at the top might change this. Mick, where do you reckon Celtic would be? Of course they'd get a big influx of money and interest but my gut feel is they'd be mid-table at best right now but would have a chance of winning it within 5-10 years? Rangers I'm not so sure about.

Interestingly the word "ethnics" and "ethnic" are now used with racist intent on less enlightened forums than this, so sadly, prejudice can even become PC or I guess 'legal' . I wouldn't use the word 'Paki' as it clearly has racist connotations now (maybe it always did) and certainly would make most people who heard someone using it think that the user was doing so with racist intent or was pretty ignorant. But in reality if you moved these racist intents it doesn't seem a too bad a slang way of talking about a group of people from Pakistan - although as Sean said I wonder how many were actually from Pakistan. "gay" is another interesting word - when I was an infant it meant happy, then changed meaning and to a degree was acceptable, so 'gay friends' 'gay club' all ok but now to call something 'gay' is also perojative(?)...all a bleedin' minefield.

It wasn't specific MP, apologies if it came over thus but we could lighten up a bit. Genuienely mean spirited or just a bit of a fun poke at the world of celebrity and fame and a bit of an atidote to the celeb. obbssessed world of Hello...when it pervades the forum, which it does sometimes, I understand the gripe but, as Jah put it, the clues in the title. To add my personal wish, Clarkson and Morgan in one of those cage fights

Malvolio deserves a slapping - spoiling all the fun with worthiness
