And the worst thing is…he was Australian.

Yes – I can think of dozens of books/plays much longer than Macbeth!

Online?

That might be the important bit.

I wasn’t only referring to 2008. Labour have a plentiful record of incompetence in matters financial stretching back to way before Callaghan and the IMF bailout and Wilson’s “Pound in your pocket”

Pushing no cart for any party personnally, but none of them have a great record as far as fiscal competence is concerned; we always seem to take the brunt of the hits whilst the chancellor sits there, smugly commending his own policies.
Funny, but you never see a poor ex-chancellor. And when did an ex-MP die a pauper?

Check ‘de rigueur’ in the OED. Come back to me if you don’t know what that means.

At £215 per annum (plus VAT) I think I shall give it a miss, especially as it appears your OED is French – translate indispensable from French to English and it becomes essential, which is pretty much what the definitions I provided imply (but for free, which is a much better price I am sure you will agree).

To the neigh-sayers – I’m sure the moderators have everything completely under control, although they may need to import an unbiased moderator to adjudicate if necessary (or at least, one who has not nailed his political colours to the mast and therefore might be held open to cronyism if he were to wave his wand around when furiously debating – which he hasn’t as far as I am concerned). And this is what we are doing: debating. Try it, you might just come away with both ears slightly skinned and a mild rash.

I was in digs, provided by B.R. and they had a nice daughter, hubby and wife went out for the night, and they came home early, and caught me SCREWFIXING theiir daughter. Had to find new digs. Ahh, happy days….:D.
How come you get more when your single, than when you are married?. SCREWFIXING that is……

Not sure if you are aware but we apparently have younger viewers, and I am concerned that they might interpret the above fantasy as you engaging in coitus with a female to whom you were not married and get this thread deleted, rather than you doing a bit of DiY – which would have been a lot safer and you’d have been more familiar with anyway…

That might be why it was available to be texted.

It don’t matter if he was from Mars, he was not in GWTW.:D

Bah.

He was up for the role though… Along with Gary Cooper and Ronald Colman. A pox on Clark Gable…

Damn, can’t believe I made that mistake. But anyway.

Now, Snafu, our religious friend has set you a challenge. Are you up for it?;)

Why ask me? You decide….;o)

My response to Boyle was to Boyle, my response to you was to you, apparently you have comprehension problems reading and understanding either.
Best pull your head out of your **** before you suffocate.

My response to you was based not only on that post but on your previous utterances too. I apologise if I go back to posts that you no longer wish to have attention drawn to…

my only sadness about death is that I will miss the discoveries and development of scientific knowledge in the decades to come.

Meh, what about cake? All that baked and iced confectionery that you will never get to eat…;o)

No police? It is not to be expected that a member of the public should have to guard a suspect item of ordnance – if for no other reason than they might do something stupid, like pick it up or take it home. Worse still walk off (because they have something better to do) to leave it for someone else to find…

It’s a gamble, but I see the chance on a nice quick profit when they finally bring ‘Elite’ to market 😉

Again? Will it reach the market this time?

(This is the space trader game that was on the Spectrum, etc, years ago, innit? I recall that it is being updated for whatever is top of the heap game-player wise every other year or so…)

Snaf – ??

Um, if I can make this easy on you… When you are dead you don’t do a lot of eating, and if you aren’t eating thenyou must be dead. Think of all the cake you aren’t eating since you are dead.

Some cake yesterday

Cake: better than bread – it is a well known fact that all mass murders have been shown to have consumed bread at some point in their lives.

I’d guess the artists who draw The Simpsons must be fairly adept at bringing to life one of their main side-line but fictional characters, so I doubt he drew himself.

Not a man to help change your mind about bullfighting, Hemingway. His 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises was what turned Pamplona’s annual but rather local fiesta of San Fermin into an international event attracting millions of gore-seeking sightseers.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]226584[/ATTACH]

Imagine the outrage in Spain if all those wealthy spectators, rather than all the bulls, died…

But if that’s what the Spanish do then who am I to criticise?

You are Charlie and if we were to look back then we are bound to find many examples of you criticising…

As for the Spanish, why should it be acceptable that they can torture a bull to death in a slow and painful manner and be allowed to call it sport? If they did it with horses rather than bulls there would be revolution in the country, but they seem to tolerate it if they aren’t all out in favour.
In Britain we used to bait bulls with dogs, stage dog fights and c0ck fights, all for the sake of entertainment which has long been banned. We used to pretend that the fox enjoyed being chased by hounds and wealthy inbreds before being torn to pieces (if it was caught) and this too was thankfully banned.
In a world where we regard ourselves as the highest form of intelligence why do we let ourselves be dragged down to the mono’d-brow knuckledraggers level by proclaiming that these acts were/are an acceptable thing to inflict on other species?

Who is going to make the rule – the Spanish? Can’t see the bulls getting together and going on strike for better working conditions…
