I think Brown got it tonight, with Cleggy a close second … poor old Dave is on the bench!

Brown is stronger this week …………

……… Dave is looking lost

Politics – its theatre but its better than a dictatorship or communism :wink:

The 'ref' is very weak!

Clegg is definitely rattling camerons cage!! Dave's worried!!

Cleggs looking good again!

why should the airlines pay for what is essentially nothing to do with them – seems a bit harsh

Clegg wins!

Labour has swamped every single area of our public services with mountains of paperwork cascading in every day taking armies of bureuacrats to deal with it………..

Now here is a man that would have livened up any debate

Brown is a robot spewing out pre-recorded bullsh*t :?

Politics! What a glorious system :lol:

I wouldn't do it!

Brown is starting to look a bit …. shiny – who will be the first to show beads of sweat!

Their ties are boring

Here is a link to the auction catalogue

Clicky

The entire contents of a good old fashioned bike shop are being auctioned off in Ledbury this Saturday.

I have been up there and seen some very dangerous & ignorant riders so I can empathise with some of the 'red socks'

Access for all……. but not the grumpy ones ;0)

its better than a dictatorship!

name me one country that has a better political system than ours!

like I said …… ignorant idiot! and you have just proved it!

stand yourself!

JoeBones – I take great exception to your racist language – my wife is of Romany descent and has suffered for years from ignorant idiots like you.

You'd miss them if they weren't there. A few years ago news leaked out in my little hometown that there were going to be no wardens for about 2 months. It turned into absolute chaos in a very short space of time, to this day I still can't believe how people parked! Pavements were blocked, road junctions became impassable – i never thought i'd say it but I was relieved when the wardens came back!

Hamilton is an absolute disgrace and brings motor racing into disrespect, it was never like this a few years ago when drivers knew how to behave

55 this year – feels like everyting is now going into hyperdrive and my life is whizzing past me at an ever increasing speed 8O

Life has never been so good – each decade so far has had its good points – now i'm moving towards the 'third age' and its great

(except for mornings when things that used to be stiff ain't, and things that weren't stiff now are :roll: )

Just forget about what age you are and enjoy yourself

Ancient Sanskrit Poem

Look well to this Day
For it is Life…
the very Best of Life!
In its brief course lie all
the Realities and Truths of Existence
the Joy of Growth!
the Splendour of Action!
the Glory of Power!

for Yesterday is but a memory
and Tomorrow is only a vision
but Today IF LIVED WELL* makes
every yesterday a Memory of Happiness
and every tomorrow a Vision of Hope
LOOK WELL THEREFORE TO THIS DAY!

* Be and Give the best you can in all your tasks and relationships

(and drink whisky!)

Don't watch it – simple as :|

Very sorry for your loss, exactly the same thing happened to me at your age (over 30 years ago!), only it was my dad who departed very suddenly and unexpectedly for the far shore.

You are now in a different world and have to learn to live in this new place. Give yourself time to do this, don't rush it and as said above defintely don't bottle it up, talk to family, friends and professionals and gradually you will come to a peace with what has happened. But your Mum will never leave you, throughout the rest of your life she'll always be just a thought away.

Biking helps!

……. i have my reasons – who are you? why are you speaking to me? what do you want? – can you hear them? they are telling me to do things i don't like. Mother…. is it you, i'm coming Mother, i'm coming ……………….. 8O

I dread to think what that disgusting pack of wolves who waited outside the court when the 2 lads were sentenced would have done if they had caught them. They were far worse than the 2 lads because they were 'adults' and knew what they were doing.

Virtually all we know about this case is from the media, and we should never forget that they aren't giving us this info from the goodness of their hearts, they only print what sells and we all know the more it makes 'angry of Tonbridge Wells' spit out their Early Grey and shout this is unbeleivable the more money it makes

There is far more to this story than we were led to believe. Very interesting the way the Norweigens handled a similiar case

Stornoway – 'I saw you blink'

so is the secret formula – Fire/Garden, 'welcoming' Barmaid (man), good beer, good grub?

Many relevant comments on here ! Seems to me that pubs are failing for a variety of reasons.

bit of a theme starting to develop!

seems to me that a whole range of factors have conspired to close many of our favourite old haunts. There's nothing so sad than an old favouriate with boarded up windows.

yunki I think you are right, we are spawning a whole new generation of people who just sit on their own tapping on keyboards (looks down for a minute!) and twiddling joysticks but never really speaking to anyone!

We had one pubco pull the plug on a succesful local pub because they sold too much food and not enough beer. The pubco put the rent up until the tennants left, then brought in some real 'villans' who sold gallons of beer, but had fights every weekend – nice!

pomona – maybe you are right with real ale being seen as an old mans drink and the younger generation looking for something more 'hip'

We saw the decline start before the smoking ban

It brought home to me what our pubs used to be like and how much they have changed when I did the round of pubs at the Real Ale Wobble in Llanwrtydd Wells last November. They were bursting with people all p*$$ed but having a great time, ah! happy days!

Fun?

Typical of this government – all spin and headlines and no substance behind it all. Its going to get worse in the lead up to the election.

¡Gracias!
