bridge too far

Gerard (Manley)

Exactly the same for me.

It's not a problem - I'm going to get one advert or another at some time. I just wondered if this is a recent common event. Strangely, I cleared my cookies only last week!

I've recently noticed that when I open this forum, before I sign in, the ads are from companies that I've recently contacted (in my case English Country Cottages). The same thing happens on my Yahoo Mail page. Does this sort of thing happen to anyone else - if so, could it be that these cookies are already being used by some websites?

He came across quite well, I thought. Very relaxed. But I did struggle to understand when he said he'd been 'araynd and abayt'.

Sorry - I didn't make myself clear. My FUNDAMENTAL objection to AV is the potential for small parties to have a disproportionate influence and power relative to the their number of MPs. That is the bit I find undemocratic.

Hmmm - as my dear old Dad would have said 'You're so sharp, you'll bloody cut yourself one day'. I wasn't having a pop at him, particularly. I see this error so many times, it bugs me.

Having a rant here........ It's TOE the line, not TOW the line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://grammartips.homestead.com/toetheline.html

I don't like coalitions because they can lead to weak government and, quite frankly, I'd rather have a strong Tory government that I can rail against than a weak coalition one. Although, obviously, I'd rather have a strong Labour government My objection to AV is that it is more likely to lead to a coalition but, more importantly, it will give disporportionate weight to small parties who may only have a few seats in parliament. That's hardly democratic, in my view.

He doesn't even have a lisp, though, does he. He has, I suspect, a problem with his adenoids. At least he says 'town' and 'down' properly, instead of 'tayn' and 'dayn'. *tongue in cheek smiley for Trousers' benefit*

No - he's the exception rather than the rule. Most Muslims are decent, law-abiding people, I think.

The BBC is running a series of articles on this subject, representing all views. Here is today's offering: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-12486153 I do take on board what the article says about the LibDems being the permanent 'kingmakers' - of course, it doesn't necessarily have to be the LibDems. It could be the BNP FFS! My objection to AV is that small, insignificant parties could end up with a disporoportionate amount of power in the event of a hung parliament by prostituting themselves to one major party or another.

I think you're comparing apples with pears here, Nick. As you rightly say, the poppy is a symbol. But the Koran is a faith text, similar to the Christian bible. It isn't a symbol. I think the man was very wrong to do what he did, but I defend his right to freedom of expression. After all, that's what we celebrate by wearing poppies, surely. But the irony of that was, no doubt, not apparent to him.

I think this is what happened to Birmingham's money when they went straight back up.

And they forgot to tell the UK ambassador to Libya, allegedly!
