That's a better way of putting it.

Because I don't want to, don't have to, and mainly because he's just a bloke with opinions. What Farage, Starmer, Trump, etc say matters, not some bloke who seems to influence thick people.

You're becoming a bit of a prick mate. I don't read the guardian, that's not my politics, and highlights your daft view that anyone to the left of you is a raving leftie. No, I haven't read their backgrounds, and don't have to. I judge them by their actions, not their stated views and intentions.

Very topical. Good lad. 🤱🌟

FFS, I feel such a bigot now.

Yep. I'm pleased to say that I haven't read or listened to anything from bloke. He's just another noisy mouthpiece.

I once had man flu, and multi tasked whilst suffering. Women only do one thing when popping a baby out.

Indeed. This is the way it's going. People with right leaning views are trying to argue that anything to the left of their outlook is far left. It's absolute nonsense, and through design or fault it's making the political debate US like, ie right versus left but with centrist views being lumped in with left leaning views. To be fair, I'm also hearing people with right or right ish leaning views being described as fascists, so the stupidity and ignorance is widespread.

Ha! The cardiac consultant told me that most people have never had actual flu. Colds and sniffles only. Flu made covid look like nothing. So yeah, no sympathy.

Yep. Missed it once. Got proper flu, then pneumonia, several spells in hospital. Horrible experience. Haven't missed a flu jab since.

Yep. AA is our striker and Archer is back up. We're scoring for fun and won't waste money on anyone else. I'm not sure we'll bring anyone else in.

That's a terrible point. People holding views is completely different to people making threats and inciting violence viewable by the world at large.

I answered your point. You replied with a laughing emoji. No answer= hide, laugh, and stamp feet. I'm not on the left though.

1. Joey Barton. 2. 15 years ago people didn't post death threats to brown people on the web, rape threats to women, etc. 3. Etc.

We have free speech Nic. Fortunately we also have an increased intolerance for nasty bastards who go over the top and down the otherside. We also have people who are too thick (and usually bigoted) to understand the difference. I cast no aspersions of course.

Ditto. Very much a tactical thing.

Semantics. Shit musicians, no. Shit music according to my ears, yes.

Wrong. There's no right or wrong. It's all personal choice. I can admire their success, just not their music.

Ditto. My music preference is mostly British guitar bands - new wave and indie mostly - but someday's it has to be Springsteen, others Miles Davis, sometimes northern soul, Hip Hop, or a bit of classical. Your missus Bon Jovi rivals my missus Jack Savoretti. That's the beauty though, each to their own.

I got a sense of that - a big but mobile lump up top possibly leans towards Quarshie.

He did say "for me" - clearly his opinion. Music is so ridiculously subjective. I want to love the Beatles but I think they're shit. Ditto Queen, Oasis, and others. I adore Joy Division, but my missus would prefer to leave the house when I pop Closer on the turntable than hear it. The only facts when it comes to music is commercial success - everything else is opinion.

Courteeners, agreed, superb band. Falcon is one of the best debut albums from an indie band. St Jude is arguably better. They've also done one of the best Christmas songs that nobody knows. Superb live room. They should be big. As decent as Blossoms are, they have gone too poppy for my taste.
