Lesbo teas? 8O I live a sheltered life

I don’t like the comma that appears after road. I’d say it creates ambiguity.

Thank you all, I appreciate your advice abd suggestions. Unfortunately I won’t be able to get out of town because work is calling the shots on my movements – but I can at least choose where I stay and what I do on a couple of weekend days.

The recent Obama speech telling us why we should remain talking about WWII together but he omits the massive debt the US strung us with to help the demise of our influeblnce globally.

This is a novel way to interpret the US giving the UK a huge amount of aid for free or at a 90% discount during the war, and then lending the UK a massive amount of cash at a mere 2% interest. The British empire didn’t collapse because the US helped the UK in WW2.

Britain and America’s ties go beyond the frickin EU so who the frig does he think he is with his sassy threats

The US is like the UK’s first girlfriend: you think about them a lot more then they think about you…

Private Eye has been covering one of the candidates who’s been writing to every elector whose name is Singh saying “Dear Mr Singh, have you ever noticed how amazing Sikhs are, yeah me too PS I love that big temple in India, would you vote for me? Cheers”, which is a bit odd because not all the recipients are Sikh and few still like to be pandered to so obviously. I now cannot remember for the life of me whether it’s Khan or Goldsmith that’s doing it, though

I think a referendum is a specific type of election, what with election just meaning choice. Hence the need to specific what kind of election: general election, local election, European election… “HTH”

our deputy chancelor weighing in with ‘dog-whistle racism” – WTF is that?

If you don’t know what something means, try googling it.

“Some said it was a snub to Britain. Some said it was a symbol of the part-Kenyan president’s ancestral…

On Wikipedia “some said” would get flagged as weasel words.

It’s a weird suggestion that Obama removed Churchill because he dislikes the UK because he has some sort of genetic or inherited grudge from his father’s Kenyan genes.

Surprised Eric Clapton was so complimentary given his Griffinesque political views…

It generally accepted that one is not mean about the dead on a thread about their death.

Rubbish.

If you don’t want to hear people discussing public figures (alive or dead), don’t discuss public figures on a public message board.

Heart attack? Mental illness? Lack of, you know, evidence?

In the 1990s, there was an occasion in England where a child was killed by other children, and an occasion in Norway where a child was killed by other children. In England, mobs gathered at an adult court to see the killers convicted and imprisoned. What happened in Norway?

Cmon, Ben, dont be fooled just because she’s got an expensive niche handbuilt cargo bike! ;)

So, I expect all the nay Sayers on ‘ere to be hard at work whilst those of us with a more sympathetic view of the Royals take a few days off to mourn the loss of her majesty when she finally croaks. Right?

Au contraire – you should be working overtime to chip in for the real cost of keeping her in palaces and paying for her kids weddings and funerals.

Th Beatles bring in £82m a year in tourism money to Liverpool, and 3/4 of them are dead. Clearly the answer is to make all of S Club 7 kings and queens.

There’s a good clip that’s probably on YouTube of his early appearance on Jihnny Carson where he stops replying to the questions because he thought JC was taking the piss out of Minneapolis

You know, I think it’s okay to talk about whether you thought someone was talented or not on a discussion board…and I like prince!

Not one of the miners children then or the steel workers now can ever hope to educate themselves and gain qualifications to do the job of Windsor. They could be President if we had one.

Although probably more uni degrees in the average steel worker’s family than in the Royal one…

Wow. I had the idea from somewhere he was actually super healthy. A JW too?

Prosecution don’t have to prove it beyond reasonable doubt, they just have to convince the jury. Which is a subtly different proposition.

Bees are on the what now?

I’d imagine that every penny spent is earned back multiple times over in tourist/media revenue.

Oh god not this again

what is important is that we cannot withdraw unless we leave the EU

That’s not true, and it’s not what the link you refer to says (as you’d know if you’d actually read it).

At least Attila made the caravanserais run on time.

I was commenting purely on the undemocratic actions of the Norwegean Government in relation to the thread title.

Ahh, the eurotunnel defence: when I said the thing that I said, I didn’t mean what it meant, I meant something else.

I am a pathetic urban weed.

We won’t have access to the European fear market if we leave the EU so we won’t be able to peddle our fear!

I’m not smart but I’d go for that. J thought my 3 years at 2.99% was good!

Norway voted not to join the EU but the government was so pro they signed up for pretty much everything. Possibly one of the most un-democratic things to have occurred anywhere in modern rimes.

Classic JAMBAFACT!

Norway ratified the ECHR in 1952. It was the second country to do so. It did so six years before the Treaty of Rome was signed to create the European Economic Community, 41 years before the European Union was created and 42 years before the Norwegian referendum on EU membership.

Why would proceeds of crime put you off? Because it may have been run ragged or something else?

He said it had been sitting in a pound for years…

Maybe it failed to be?

You have a long way to go before you catch up with your more explodey fanatic competitors

fanatical anti-theists like some of the people posting here

I don’t think I’ve seen any evidence that the anti-theists do anything about it but make the occasional sarcastic comment on Internet threads. If they’re fanatics, they’re not very good at being fanatical

Seems unlikely the OP would show off. The shirt marks him out as a shy retiring type… ;)

OP: get them to rent from here – http://www.thegaragecarrental.co.uk/car-hire-croydon/

Cheap. Not all showroom fresh like Hertz but perfectly decent. Breaks down? Their problem, not your parents.

But dem rulz int being stuck too iz day, uvver wyze dis drone wouldn’t av it a plane innit.
Now, I’m off to walk the Staffy and slug another Stella.

Idk why you need the mock poor person accent, there are plenty of wire-rimmed glasses-wearing RLJers and “progress makers” on here that think rules don’t apply to them

Have you tried removing the handles or are they glued on?

Hmmm

would caveat that there aren’t powerful voices arguing that the teaching of C20th history is prejudicial to Nazi’s..

The British Empire: spreading knowledge and science to pig ignorant heathens or genocide and slavery?

WW2: a war to save the Jews or the last gasp of imperial Europe?

The Troubles: a conflict between religious extremists or the UK’s last colonial retreat?

There are still plenty of historical conflicts, and the contestedness of history is built into the subject (at higher levels). You could quite easily do the same with RE.

there are more pot holes than there used to be

Are there?

do you sit down and make sub-par jokes about Odysseus?

There aren’t many schools run by Odysseans in my neck of the woods. If they did start demanding money from the government to teach kids to worship Odysseus, I’d be sure to make terrible jokes about him needing a decent GPS etc

I’m with engineer No. 2 with self-checkouts – if the price remains the same why…

Engineer number 2, please!!!
