    I’ve used Lycra thread, small holes and superglue – variable results but can look OK.

    This forum often crashes my browser – I suspect it is some sort script due to the adverts

    Watched these on a flight home from the USA

    John Carter (2012)

    An American Civil War veteran ends up on Mars helping out in their own war. Great looking film with some stunning effects. Decent story based on an Edgar Rice Burroughs novel. Worth watching.

    Children of Men (2006)

    Julianne Moore and Clive Owen in a film set in the UK in 2027 where the human race has become sterile. Bleak looking film but well done.

    Chronicle (2012)

    A superhero movie with a twist. Three teenagers acquire super powers but it soon turns nasty. Cast with unknowns and shot on a (relatively) low budget, this was a decent way to spend and hour and a half.

    Arfur. If you cannot get your facts right, as you obviosly didn’t then you can hardly call it a debate can you.
    I don’t expect everyone to agree with me at all, you say what you want, and I will also, I am not that inclined to expect anything less of anyone.
    Guess you and I will allways agree to disagree.

    Now go to bed like a good boy:)
    Jim.

    Lincoln .7

    In this case with regard to flying flags I am agreeing with but if you want pick an argument then fair enough. You seem to want to quibble over the smallest point in my posts. What can I say? :rolleyes:

    As they say “I’m out”

    Don’t try and deflect the point by quibbling over “visitors” or “foreign friends”.
    They’re pretty much the same.
    If you think people might have a “pop” at you, why in God’s name do you start these threads where somebody might just disagree with you. If all you expect is everyone to join your rhetoric in support then, I’m afraid, in this case you’re sadly mistaken.

    @Lincoln 7

    Generally the only people I hear complaining about the Daily Mail are Labour and Lib Dem supporters. Always strikes me as a lazy way out, kind of like calling someone a “racist”, attempting to win an argument without actually providing any credible counter-argument.

    Duh! Of course those complaining about DM coverage are largely left wing – it’s a right wing newspaper!

    Lazy is certainly a good word to describe DM journalism. I have to say that I enjoy reading it in much the same way I used to enjoy the Beano or Dandy. Great entertainment – largely nonsense but great entertainment.

    I took the liberty of having a look on Lincolnshire Council’s website and there on the front page is guidance for flying the flag on council buildings. It is very strange situation to have a go at a citizen when the council offers guidance on doing the very same thing.

    My God I appear to have stumbled across the Daily Mail by accident. In Jubilee year why would any visitor get upset by the sight of a Union flag – they are everywhere. You haven’t been scammed have by someone pretending to be an official (I assume you asked to check his credentials)?

    Lincoln7, hasn’t this happened before? I have a vague recollection a year or two ago. Maybe just deja vu….

    I thought the football analogy was better but some didn’t understand it. :rolleyes:
    Not taking part in an event because you haven’t won for 15 years is one of the most pathetic excuses ever. Maybe we should try a decent song/singer for a change – it certainly worked for Sweden. Typical British paranoia to think the fiddle is somehow aimed at us. I wonder if Norway, Denmark, France etc. feel as if it is a fiddle against them.
    Maybe the UK were doing a “My Lovely Horse” to make sure they didn’t win. Well, it worked.
