Actually, it is exactly the same.

A serious one will suffice.

A different issue.

But Denis was one of us - he was a member of the golf club. Drank the place dry.

Mis-attributed to her. From wiki...


"A man who, beyond the age of 26, finds himself on a bus can count himself as a failure."


Attributed to her in Commons debates, 2003-07-02, column 407 and Commons debates, 2004-06-15 column 697. According to a letter to the Daily Telegraph by Alistair Cooke on 2 November 2006, this sentiment originated with Loelia Ponsonby, one of the wives of 2nd Duke of Westminster who said "Anybody seen in a bus over the age of 30 has been a failure in life". In a letter published the next day, also in the Daily Telegraph, Hugo Vickers claims Loelia Ponsonby admitted to him that she had borrowed it from Brian Howard. There is no solid evidence that Margaret Thatcher ever quoted this statement with approval, or indeed shared the sentiment.

Oh Mrs T is still with us. I can honestly say that I there is not another women still living detest more

We used to say Maggie may be a women but she is not a sister.

Most great women have songs written about them in reverence but doesn?t Mrs T have songs about condemnation of her, Elvis Costello?s Tramp the dirt down.

Simply Red also had a song which I forget the title and am sure Billy Bragg has several

One of Thatcher's failings was she thought she could play judge and jury.

It's worthy of note that, 30 year papers have revealed, that the UK gov't at the time of the hunger strikes was making overtures to address some of IRA demand in order to allow the IRA to call off the hunger strikes - these were rejected by the IRA. I assume as they preferred to have martyrs for a cause that a negotiated concession to their demands.

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
