    Judging by the way we play, I don’t think the training pitch has been used for some time!

    “A “ genuine Christian “ has no other position to take, other than supporting pro-life.”

    Aye! Pity it doesn’t extend to after the child is born!

    I suppose we can now claim that we truly made Ivan Toney the man he is today!

    “What I object to is the amount of money wasted, which runs into billions, in all sorts of areas.”

    Like the £30bn pissed away by Truss in her mini budget?

    If you’re looking for wasted dosh you know where to go!

    Beats me how God could make Adam out of dust, but had to rape a teenage girl to make Jesus!

    Oh, I forgot it’s just a story!

    More evidence that Bucks once applied for a public sector job and failed the interview!

    Criticise public sector pensions, criticise unions. All public service employees are work-shy communists!

    Capitalism is the only way!

    C’mon Bucks, tell me I’m wrong!

    Which is the more appropriate term, ” soccer thug ” or ” football hooligan “?

    Is it “Millwall fan”?

    Me and ‘our kid’ were always telling ‘me mum’ that we were off to play ‘footie.’If I’d said off to play’soccer’there would have been raised eyebrows … then scornful laughter … and then, maybe, violence.

    “Off to rugger practice”.

    Is there a more middle class phrase?

    Tory ..Labour..where do they differ nowerdays?

    I’m sure BPG’s above comment was tongue in cheek but the fact it got a thumbs up from BS shows that there are people out there who think that way.

    They’re the ones who don’t vote in elections or take no interest in what the government is, or isn’t doing.

    They are manna from heaven for our mid-term Tories. Their disinterest gives the cabinet carte blanche to do what they want. Usually in their own self interest.

    The great disinterested were more interested in voting in the “Strictly” final last night than in the next election. More bothered about who wins the World Cup Final than who forms the next government.

    And still the diversionary tactics continue. “Immigration is what Britons are concerned most about” they were telling us last week. Well I beg to differ, but the cost of heating their homes and rampant inflation may just top that!

    And just to keep the shit-pot stirring we conveniently have striking workers to boo instead of our MPs.

    Look over there! Illegal immigrants, striking nurses, foreign despots.

    It’s a tactic as old as civilisation itself. And some are still failing for it.

    I find an MP that is known to have his fingers in several extracurricular pies accusing the government of kowtowing to “Big Pharma” particularly ironic!

    Now everyone has seen what building land down there costs, do people still think he just wants the club to go under and sell the land to developers, if so please explain you reasoning behind it.

    Has anything “he” has done looked like it was reasoned out?

    Didn’t they use the old “holding the country to ransom” chestnut back in the 80s?

    Always reminded me of those get-rich-quick schemes that did the rounds in the 80s & 90s. Sounded too good to be true.

    Can’t beat real cash in our cashless society! 😉

    Bucks, you can’t agree that companies are still making obscene profits AND argue that they have to raise the tariffs to cover costs.

    If they are making big profits they can afford to keep the tariffs as they are or even lower them.

    My electricity provider sent me an email today informing me that the unit price is going up by 2p again in January.

    Are they doing it because they’re hard up? I doubt it! It’s because Ofgen says they can.

    That’s a very old video Fansy.

    Mrs NI’s school chum whose performing name is Helen McCookerybook was the partner of Martin Stephenson, though I don’t think they’re together anymore.

    She was in a post-punk group called Helen & The Horns when he was in The Daintiees.

    Had a couple of drinks with them a few years back when they played The Cluny in Newcastle.

    Nice guy with some great original songs. Washington born (and we’re not talking DC or State!).

    Just checked. Angola has a machete on the flag; just as nasty.

    Mozambique has the Kalashnikov!

    Okay, whilst we’re on with flags…

    How many National Flags feature the Southern Cross?
