CB Fry

Err, not that obviously.

No I'm not. Just saying that UKIP did not and do not have the mandate you say they have. I'm just saying you're wrong. The extrapolations you're wheeling out above are a total irrelevance to my central point.

Solidarity with Pap after he was banned, it seems. A huge miss. He did it in the right way, though. No threatening to leave, no grandstanding, just went off into the sunset of Pap's new site. Oh, and he changed his avatar too (one last LOLZ). Hopefully he'll come back in time.

So its "a nonsense" for parties winning millions of votes, hundreds of seats and clear majorities in general elections to claim a mandate but the 4.2m that voted UKIP in the last European election (about half as many as voted for Labour and Tories that same day) is a mandate. Okay then. 24 UKIP seats vs over 40 seats for other parties working to stay in. Some mandate there and no mistake.

Andrew Neil tweets this morning: YouGov poll in Sunday Times: Do you think that UK should be member of EU? YES 44% NO 36% Ignoring the current reputation of pollsters etc etc, this is a much wider gap than I'd imagined. Before anyone complains about the phrasing of the question, I'd say this would be very close to the referendum one. Cameron will make sure he leads a "Yes" campaign, meaning the question definitely won't be "Would you like the UK to be independent from the EU".

Like, touché.

In. Will be utter madness to pull out and although it will be close, I think the UK will vote the right way despite the best efforts of UKIP and saps who read the Daily Express.

Your post was as much about Lawrenson as it was about the BBC, as was my reply. The only person "misunderstanding" stuff is you, as you have decided I "respect" Lawrenson. I made no judgement about Lawrenson. Just you. Tough this comprehension lark, ain't it?

Dunno to all that, really. Personally I avoid the sexism stuff, and I think my record as a libertarian/feminist stands up on this forum and I'd hope you'd agree with that, toots. Your existence certainly has changed the dynamic somewhat, your unique quality of being a female and everything has brought more to the forum than I guess you were expecting. I have no idea why yer man was banned but he can be unhinged, and he has done some pretty loopy things around people's indentity, jobs and life and I doubt Steve banned him for nothing. He's a proven loon/obsessive regarding people's indentities and I wouldn't trust him with anything about me as a person which is why I took time out to create a complete false name and email to sign up to his site as I would gave no doubt he'd be trawling LinkedIn and anywhere else to find stuff on me. On reflection signing up at all was an error. It wouldn't surprise me if his banning was something related to people's private life and Steve said enough is enough. It is a shame. Over recent months we were rubbing along fine especially as we're are close-ish politically, and he is/was good value. I miss Bearsy, so the boys done well there to get him over there, but hey ho.

The didn't dispose of Hansen. And one last predictable whinge against Lawrenson for the same whiny moaning reasons. Who knows, next season the BBC might have a new resident prediction bod. But guess what, they won't predict that the super-duper Saints will win every game either, so you can roll out the same po-faced grizzling next season too. See you next season. Just say we'll win Lawro. Please say we'll win. Please. Just say we'll win. Please. Please Lawro. Please.

Oh yeah. I think there was that one, Rigby and a general 9/11 conspiracy thread all running on and off at about the same time. Basically those three threads were the battlegrounds. But maybe we've got it wrong and Lou is right. Pap said the Boston Bomb was a false flag, we all said we disagreed and he was, indeed, "fine with it". That's what happened.

And here he scuttles in. Almost like you and Pap are the same person.

Maybe the mods have binned it, can't remember the title. It's a big un. It was more multi-lateral than me v Pap, it was Pap vs Barry Sanchez ("where's the blood, Bazza" is the catchphrase of that thread, based on Pap's falling H, L and S for a YouTube conspiro-doc saying that the TV stations super imposed blood on the hands of the innocent nutcase what done it.) ....and Pap vs Tim, Verbal, Hypo and the rest of sensible humanity. I imagine SOG was scuttling about in his conspiro-for-beginners role cheerleading along but not sure. Basically "official narratives" we're challenged by our resident thinker and the rest of us piled in. The nurse who tried to help Rigby was an actress. That kind of conspiro-by-numbers guff. I remember poor old Lou being shocked by the McCann thread when that got dragged from the depths, I think she'd take to the Rigby era Pap thread even less.

If he ends up fifth he'll keep his job. Seventh I'm not so sure, because us finishing above them on the back of nearly £50m quid of their Suarez cash is going to be a hammer blow to those unique loyal unique fans. Fingers crossed, eh?

I don't call you dumb that often, because I really don't need to. I think I explained my position vis-a-vis you pretty clearly. Right now my position is sitting down.

And here was me thinking what they were "asking for" and "wanted" was a united, independent Ireland. Remind me when that was "given" to them, because I don't remember seeing it in the news.

Lift up a paving stone and out he crawls.

I don't think anyone takes him seriously anymore, or ever. For me, he's a breakfast punchbag. If I feel like it each morning I will bang out a post or two mocking whatever utter idiocy he he has come out with overnight. The fact that he always, always, always comes back for more just makes it more fun. Just a little workout for the old sarcasm muscles while I take my morning dump. Punch the clown.

"Granted he still had to get us promoted". Twice. He got us promoted twice.

Ha. I liked that one. Up there with my playing chess with Sarnia Saint bit on the ....America thread as my favourite recent posts.

Firstly, aw shucks. I think. Secondly, great punchline. Thirdedly, I would hope Pap never got infracted for anything he said to me, the reverse is definitely true. We slugged it out but both of us gave as good as we got. Ditto me and Alpine. It's worth saying I have never being infracted for anything other than a handful of ticking offs for circumventing the fu cking swear filter. So someone must like me, or I am too irrelevant to worry about.

Like all big mainstream acts, I'll always have an extensive back catalogue to fall back on. So when I hit tough times like this I will look to roll out the hits. We're never far away from someone accusing a journalist of making stuff up to destabilise us, or saying stripes are old fashioned or that we have a better rags to riches story than Swansea. And if all else fails I. can. always. revert. to. using. multiple. full. stops. to. ram. my. point. home. The crowd goes wild.

That looks like a brilliant place to try out my edgier Steve Wood-based material which so far hasn't found an audience in the same way as my "classic" CB Fry stuff has here.

What, like this: Your response to a post clealy and very specifically about homicide rates. And a post that at no point "calls all firearms deaths murder" as you have tried to claim. So, just another sensational statement from you that has no credibility, or yet more proof that you're too fuc king dumb to read anything anyone posts. Take your pick. When you've managed to pull yourself up to "half intelligent", let us all know. It may take you a while.

I'd say it's more John Lydon on "I'm a Celebrity..." myself.
