You and your little fantasies. Was it fairy stories that you studied at Pompey Poly??

Hmmm. It hasn't been a good morning for Les on this thread.

Hilarious from you. What a load of pony.

Her numerical ability is as bad as Diane Abbott's. She probably thinks that she is reducing the charge by making this change.

It doesnt annoy me Bender. I just feel sorry for you. Calling Hockey out for childish names reveals you to be a massive hypocrite.

... and if you are Keir Starmer you are "Keir Smarmy." Wes takes hypocrisy to new levels !!

Does that mean that you are going to stop with the silly playground names??

I know that bluster and waffle are your style but are you now also following Johnson's example and being "economical with the truth" ??

Knighted for his public service. If we are not meant to discuss it here, why did you raise the issue in the first place?

Keir Starmer, named after the first leader of the Labour party, came from a working class background. In the old days the Conservative party supported the idea of a meritocracy. Are you now so dazzled by Johnson's poshness that you sneer at people who progress through their own abilities?

Hmmm. Everton the "next level" ??? Everton winning the Champions League ??? I think he will be disappointed.

It would depend who was the Labour leader. I dread to think what their response would have been like under Corbyn.

So apparently Boris didn't share his speech on Sunday in advance with the Cabinet !! No wonder there are inconsistencies and confusion.

Bless:lol:

You have to remember that he lives in a different world to most people. His world is populated by "remoaners" / the "Chinese virus" / "Lib Dumbs"/ the "Benn Surrender Act " etc etc. Bless.

Lol. Very good. Unfortunately based on reality.

Well worth it. Thanks for posting.

I agree that it is an idiotic system. It is a present from the 18th century writers of the American constitution and their appeasing of states who didnt want to hand over all power to a potentially "tyrannical" Federal government. However only once since the start of the 20th century had the popular vote winner not been elected... and that was Gore in 2000 and there were plenty of legal constitutional challenges then.

Thanks for such a well argued reasonable response. Would you care to elucidate?

Of course everyone knows that polls are not reliable and it would be a good idea to compare 2020 polls with 2016 polls but … On this side of the pond and on this forum there seems to be a view that Trump is bound to win in November. Polling in America would suggest that this is not the case.

Trump won Texas in 2016 by 9 percent. The latest poll shows him level with Biden in Texas. Trump won Pennsylvania in 2016. Biden is now leading by 6% .... according to the latest poll.

Scanning for temperature was being used extensively 8 weeks ago in Singapore. It was being done both obviously with a thermometer when entering a restaurant / bar and less obviously by people behind a computer in the arrivals lounge at the airport / outside tourist attractions etc. The temperature tests may not have been perfect and Singapore has had a "second spike" caused by workers in dormitories but their record in combating Covid has been good - better than ours. It is strange that similar measures have not been introduced here.

Chortle, chortle.

The widows of the band who kept on playing whilst the ship was sinking had a deduction made from their husbands's final pay because their husbands didn't return their uniforms.

We would fit the bill of what they are looking for if you consider us to be one of those in the group of clubs just below the top 6.
