May be a bit harsh, but everyones a critic especially of the chair's hard efforts (poor thing HAD to read the entire HAL v Huguenot bitch slap for instance) and can wax lyrical about what should be, but not a single offer on doing anything about it, and yes that's depressing.


And yes, earn it lackey!!!

I'm glad to have been working hard and have missed most of this debate - it seems to have become a bit heated.


Its become a debate between good and bad:


Moos = Good

Bigbadwolf = Bad (it does what it says on the tin and I generally find it funny)


But not all that's bad is bad for you and not all thats good is good for you either. Too much good is dull and too much bad is very bad.


Good and Bad forced together tend to find a balance where neither of them is happy - that's what has happened here - but it was entertaining.

Iaineasy, I have to say that I agree with you...actually I believe that BBW might in fact be a BBR (bigbadrhino) - he certainly appears to have the skin of one. Many people might have difficulty accepting the regular waves of criticism he seems to "take on the chin".


So, some respect from me too.>:D<. (Do excuse "ghastly emotion"...but I like them).

The current chair should stay, but get more involved, would be my opinion. An intersting point was made earlier, before BBW started being BBW, someone said they liked the Drawing Room, but found it a bit intimidating. I do think that a lot of the posts in there try so hard to sound all knowledgable, and spot on, even if hey state the exact opposite to the previous knowledgable and spot on post. This then can be off putting for someone who just wants to offer an opinion, without wanting the rest of the world to think "aren't they clever". This doesn't bother me personally of course, because I am fucking clever! :-S

... the chair ... poor thing ...


Is this a clue as to the Chair's identity?


Who would mockney refer to as "poor thing"?


Surely, someone he feels protective towards, superior to, even? A female, perhaps?


Or am I reading too much into this?

That's very funny Keef - and spot on. Everyone in the DR posts hoping everyone else will respond saying "you're spot on -that's the right answer - you're a genius"


But that never happens - people just disagree, because everyone else thinks they have the perfect viewpoint.


I had one go at it and gave up.

"The Chair wishes to have HAL9000's babies."


You're not allowed to post in the lounge as the chair. Whoever you are, don't ever come in here again with that mask on.


I'm being serious as well. I'm not allowed in your drawing room so who the hell do you think you are coming in here strutting about the place when no one can identify you. P_ss off out of here!!

Good point Hal. I started it because I discovered that after the forums overhall the eye in the sky had neglected to extend my ban into the drawing/yawning room. I genuinely wanted to garner a positive response but it was also admittedly an experiment to see if I could get away with it. I then started a thread about smuggling and it was moved to the lounge and I was banned from the drawing room.


I'm not playing a sympathy card but I'm not blaming admin either. I simply can't be trusted with all the high brow debaters although f_ck knows how Quids gets away with it.

I'm sure you could control yourself if you put your mind to it.

Ha! What highbrow debaters? It's just the same old crowd that hangs around in the lounge but without the one-liners.


If the Drawing Room is to survive and flourish it needs to be a place where everyone feels comfortable and welcome.


It's supposed to be a place to discuss serious subjects not an exclusive retreat for highbrow debaters. Everyone is entitled to express their opinion on serious issues - you included.

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
