By the way LadyMuck it is our Cup - we actually got to keep it after winning it 5 times, the one the Red&Whites are holding was a new one melted down from some old lead piping beneath a Manchester sewage plant (hence why it takes both Rio and Giggs to hold it) ;-)

Back to topic, I assume he didn't mean football.

I consider myself Socialist side of left, so feel very let down by all parties.

A very nice leaflet was pushed through my door yesterday featuring a 20 yr old student who is running for the Workers Socialist Party. I was very tempted to consider until I read through and was appalled at the atrocious spelling and several contradictions within the leaflet. Now I'm stuffed!

But Mr. Pallywotsitoos Sir, the Football Focus thread got too aggressive...open Man. U Fans were mercilessly bullied and therefore the remainder of Man. U fans were closeted...add to that the fact that the majority of posters did not appreciate repeat postings of George Best...I got scared, so I ran away...boo hoo

I also have not seen any Tory window stickers round here, or had anyone from their party round here. Or LibDems either. Labour lot came round and I asked them a heap of questions of things that concern me (free prescriptions - GBrown had said he would!) and they said all the 'right' things. Oh Christ I have no choice.

Tough. Stop following soccer-ball and do something more productive with your time.

Mr. Pallywotsitoos Sir, what could be more productive than following and supporting the most successful football team on the planet pray tell?


Moreover, and with the greatest of respect Oh Chief Bhuna of Poppadoms, this thread is entitled "Are there any reds out there...". This in itself does not preclude the citation of football teams provided they are "red" of course and therefore I am well within my rights to act as I have. However, as I do not wish to cause our esteemed Chief Naan Bread Bhuna undue grief, I shall instead

. Please feel free to join in at any time.

Despite Brown looking haggard and tired I thought that his performance today was good. He looked a bit ragged as though he had his heart, soul and sleep into this final push.


How do people rank the various leaders in tonight's debate?


I rank them:


Brown: 9/10

Clegg: 8/10

Cameron: 6/10


Not sure how many of you would agree.

There's another thread for the performance of the 'leaders'.

Jenny Jones: HA, if she came a-knocking on my door she'd have a shock.

She fought long and hard against the idea that motorcyclists should be allowed to ride in the TfL bus lanes.

Boris had said he would do this, as part of his manifesto, and by heck he actually did it! And there has been no carnage. When J Jones was banging on about why not, I emailed her and asked her what her problem was, she replied (and I kept the email): "bikers are scary for us". Very scientific reason there, then.


I think I have to vote Labour, even though i hate their biometric ID card thing.

They're more right wing in some ways than Cameron who has said he'd get rid of the idea (for now!) of biometric ID cards.


Ho hum. I need to change my doorbell sound to that of a Ducati Monster with bad exhaust pipes starting up. That'll scare those Greens off.

I think it might take a bit more than that; Caroline Lucas and Jenny Jones strike me as two pretty strong-minded and determined women...

I watched it on tape after the football, and I scored it as: -


Brown: 5/10

Clegg: 3/10

Cameron: 7/10

    • My husband is currently a full-time carer for our two disabled children, and he’s keen to get back into paid work where he can fit it around our family needs. He’s immediately available and looking for local handyman work — from snagging and DIY jobs to gardening or general fixing-up. He’s capable, practical, and reliable, with plenty of hands-on experience restoring and maintaining, including with heritage/listed properties. If you have a to-do list you never quite get to, or need help with those annoying finishing touches, he’d be happy to help. Please drop him a message if you’d like to chat or check availability. 07968345884
    • Unfortunately Nissan was a disaster of a company when it created your car and still is, and most recently created another combined disaster alliance with Renault. Be aware, the trade value on your car is really low as no one wants to do the work & it's often only when it reaches near scrap value that someone (else) is willing to invest (their money) to try and fix. So if you're willing to front the money and fix your car that (you know) then that is most likely your best option (also understanding that it is outrageous that you should have to replace a CVT gearbox after 50K). If that isn't appealing consider a new Skoda Fabia 1.0 (Auto) on finance if you can't afford cash, it will last 20yrs.... (and avoid cars from the Stellantis group)
    • If you are referring to me, I was using my mobile. Just quoting the post I was replying to would have made no sense without showing my original post as well. I wouldn't have been able to do that on a "real PC" either, assuming I carried one around with me everywhere. It's nothing to do with what I'm using, it's the way the forum is set up to quote posts. I did insert a screenshot showing the keyboard by mistake.
    • You have to book for the Sunday roasts in advance. I have bad memories of once going for a circular  walk around Downe and then trying to eat. The Queens Head staff (and customers)  looked at us as if we were mad for attempting to get a meal without booking. The other pub in the village  reeked of bleach.  We had to  drive around in search of a meal, and ended up at some large pub whose name and location  I have thankfully forgotten. All I remember is the food, which was truly awful.
