  1. I think we ARE in the Drawing Room silverfox, albeit way off track from the OP. Personally I blame the chair But mr Carnell ain't wrong. If we are going to play "let's pretend to come from another culture" let's NOT pick the Sudanese tribesman. Let's pick, instead, his daughter - you spend a couple of years in her shoes THEN come back and tell me how enlightened you are
  2. No flash doesn't work, as you probably well know I haven't even seen one yet, much less got one. But I do now quite a few agnostic/cynis who have been converted
  3. I had to correspond a Ms Cunypaniker at work a few years back. That was hard
  4. Turns out there isn't that much to worry about Tony Hayward says so, it must be true
  5. You think that?s bad ? imagine how gutted I was when I went to Welwyn Garden City It?s not in Wales for a start, if it?s a city it?s a very poor effort and garden suggests a degree of tranquility and greenery which frankly doesn?t exist
  6. why the need for the "politically" in that sentence PGC?
  7. A few years back Freirn Rd was pot hole central, and had been for years I went to the osuthwark website, found the relevant complaint form and filed it. I suspect I wasn't the only one as a year later the whole road was completely resurfaced
  8. I was going to post something similar to Mr Ben, but Huguenot posted this on another thread and said it much better than me So I'll just say "what Mr Ben, quids, and Huguenot said" and add that even in character wolfie, we need more people like Marmora Man posting on here not less. Posts like yours earlier don't exactly help (anyone)
  9. All you and your irrational "rage" - you are all but meek wannabees compared to Adam Boulton yesterday I must stop watching this
  10. Oh rosie what difference really? I had already assumed that but if you are taking a cheque for putting your name on something, is the fact that "it wasn't me gov" any defence? In some ways it's even more depressing zoo and nuts. Man alive. I'm not against naked women btw. It's the misogyny, hypocrisy and cowardice around it that riles me
  11. People do know why this thread was started right? The broo ha ha about his column advising a ditched boyfriend to slash his ex girlfriends gave and all that?
  12. It was a simple question ? and it wasn?t in the Lounge ? gove the OP a chance people
  13. the lady is no lady if my hunch is correct Just read any of AllForNun's posts re: BBC in the past
  14. Independent Candidates - You Kant
  15. I see James Barber has addressed your problem directly KD and yet teh two posts you has written since ignore him Odd considering your complaint on another thread is they neither read nor respond to your emails
  16. An anti BBC post??? Welcome back all for nun!!
  17. Sean never posted on this thread in the first place I think rosie was referring to my annoyance about yet another election thread expressed elsewhere (correct me if I'm wrong rosie)
  18. Whilst I'm not in denial about the scale of the debt problem, there is more than a hint of third-day-adventism about some of the people posting apocolyptic visions Doesn't make 'em wrong - but it does mean I'll be avoiding people like them when I'm reduced to sitting around my campfire
  19. I thought he was ok on Ross tbh. Possibly trying a bit too hard, but sound enough LadyMac was out last night so couldn't watch - have recorded tho/ Mockney's review sounds like my expectation
  20. do you NEVER ask yourself the question why do you have to start a thread for every question you have You don't like the lib dems - we get it But why not post your anti libdem rants on an existing thread about the election? Or ask james barber thread? Incidentally, how does the ?36 per 7 hour compare with Tory/Labour rates for the same job?
  21. Rosie isn't complaining about the forum (unlike you) she is complaining about you. There is a difference.
  22. I don't know - maybe he's busy But if someone has a question for Barber, there is a whole thread where he answers questions, and if someone has a question for admin there is a whole thread for that too
  23. Why not start yet another thread about the election. There aren't enough of them
  24. ye see, repeating it doesn't make it any more correct "Heartbreaking? Yes. If you accept that 60 million Britons have realised that their leaders are not to be trusted. " Just when exactly, were leaders to be trusted. Not trusted, but to be trusted? "Sadly their good work has been more than counter-balanced by the self serving, loathsome individuals that enter politics for personal gain and advancement or by those that deceitfully promote political dogma and bigotry (of all shades) as being for the public good." I see nothing to suggest just how true that is (1%?, 20%? all of em?) or if it has ever been different, not even when Britain was "Great" Unless people are going to put in the hours themselves and be one of the "good ones" where does all this get anyone?
  25. My suggestion is to just enjoy the few years we have on the planet and get upset only about things which are worth getting upset about. Many people on here are as scathing about the media as they are about the politicians, but that is effectively the only way we get to make our judgements about them (and I'm talking about all of them not just the leaders) Which will make this country a happier and better place to live: a) people realising how comparatively lucky they are and appreciating what they have, and getting on with things b) an abstract and impotent anger at the political parties who govern the many competing demands of 60 million people I know that some people will think I am saying there is no point in complaining about anything or that I'm saying everything is ok. I'm categorically NOT saying either of these things. But the mood of the nation appears to have gone way beyond any reasonable complaints and seems to now be some self-perpetuating emo angst. It's unhealthy, it's unnatractive and it achieves nothing but spreading more gloom Reading SteveT's post on the Greece thread for example is profoundly depressing, but it isn't that far removed from the general discourse. Instead of challenging it we have to "listen" for fear it might drive people into the arms of the BNP apparently.
