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

      Nasty kids in Peckham Park

      By KS23 · Posted

      it was super odd... my first instinct was perhaps this individual was lost or needed help... but when they just stood there looking me dead in the eyes it felt intimidating.  i did call 101 and they were super helpful and seems like i wasnt the only one that rang that night. thanks for the help and advice ... really appreciate it 🙂

      They don't normally come to somebody's front door specifically to stick their tongues out, having had no prior contact with that person. 🙄

      @alice I suggest you reserve judgement until you've experienced it yourself.

      SIM card for spare mobile

      By Sue · Posted

      Yes, I've never bought a  phone that was locked to a specific network. So as far as I know,I can just stick any SIM card in my old mobile. Or indeed my new mobile, but there wouldn't be much point in that; I think the old one  still works, but there must have been some reason why I bought a new one. I think I wanted something with more storage capacity, and my new one has loads. It's just occurred to me that I need to double check all my photos etc are backed up. I hardly ever make actual phone calls, I usually use WhatsApp or texts or emails, but clearly if my main phone is stolen I would need to make various phone calls ASAP. I was just going to get a cheap card from Argos, so I'm not sure anybody there would know! The actual mobile I use is on a SIM only contract with iD, so maybe I should just ask them. I don't care about the number as it's only for occasional use. I've had my main mobile number ever since I've had a mobile, apart from a work related one, so around 25 years, and I do care about that number as it's very easy to remember,  so I've moved it around whenever I've changed providers  Oh, really? I thought there were just two sizes and if you needed the smaller one you just took off the surrounding bit? Surely mobiles take a SIM card for any network, otherwise you could never change network without changing your phone? How long have you had that SIM card in the phone? If I  have to make phone calls using the back up phone, the person I was calling wouldn't know who it was! They might think it was spam! I'd have to tell them in advance that I was going to call them 🤣
