I?m gutted that this ?future? we live in isn?t all glass domes, jetpacks and holidays on the moon. The only thing that makes 2007 different to 1977 is that now we all have walkie-talkies and the internet (and we all know what that is mainly used for)

Every computer game I've ever played tells me that the future starts with a "devastating war" followed by endless corridors of people throwing themselves idiotically at my blazing guns.


I'll make do with walkie-talkies in a world where people are STILL driving MkI Escorts.


Obviously the internet is for EDF Brendan, whatever could you be alluding to?

The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country

The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country

The Times is read by people who actually do run the country

The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country

The Financial Times is read by people who own the country

The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country

The Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is

The Sun is read by people who don't care who runs the country as long as she's got big tits!

Yes, that's right Mockney but I seem to remember it from before it appeared in Yes Prime Minister. I could be wrong of course.

The Daily Heil never changes. Moustaches helped us rule the world eh! Lord Beaverbrook would have preferred a certain Austrian with a moustache to have ruled the world if he'd had his way.

Other famous moustaches: Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Hussein.


I hate that f*king picture of Kitchener?s mug. The man was responsible for the genocide of my people. My grandmother survived one of his death camps but lost 2 sisters. Thing is they have started using that picture where I work in the ?All Staff? e-mails in some lame attempt to get staff ?involved?. Just makes my blood boil and I can?t say anything because the senior management of the institution I work for is populated exclusively with ex-military.

Well basically the government and the police are involved up to their necks in organised crime and they will not/cannot put any proper steps in place to combat it. A lot of it is coming to a head at the moment. I follow the SA news quite closely and these are definitely ?interesting times?. Ask me in the pub if you want to know more. I won?t clog this thread up with it.


Problem is innocent people who are just trying to get on with their lives are the ones dealing with the consequences on a day-to-day basis.

      Because the council responsible for it is far-left....   And you haven't answered whether it is worth diverting emergency vehicles because a few cars drive through the LTN and why some lobby groups have been so desperate to close it to emergency vehicles.    Emergency services hate non-permeable junctions as they lengthen response times....f you remember it's why the council had to redesign the DV junction because emergency services kept telling them they needed to be able to drive through it...but the council resisted and resisted until they finally relented because the emergency services said their LTN had increased response times....sorry if the truth gets in the way of a good story but those are facts. The council was putting lives at risk because they refused to open the junction to emergency services. Why? What could have been the motivation for that? So, in fact, it was the emergency services who forced the council (kicking and screaming) to remove the permanent barriers and allow emergency services access. So the council finally opened the junction to emergency services and is now coming back to re-close part of the junction.  Why?  Perhaps you should be asking who is lobbying the council to close the junction or parts of it or why the council is happy to waste so much of our money on it - who are they representing as even their own consultation demonstrated they did not have support from the local community for the measures? The results showed the majority of local residents were against the measure...but they are going ahead with them anyway.   In time, I am sure the truth will come to light and those rewponsbile will be held accountable but you have to admit there is something very unusual going on with that junction - its the very definition of a (very expensive) white elephant.
