Which 90s band are you regretting the last 25-30 years over?
Lord Duckhunter replied to Turkish's topic in The Lounge
Apart from a few honourable exceptions, music has been pretty much in the toilet since about 1980. -
We’ve been in about half a dozen FA cup semi finals in 60 years. Do you really think we’ll get there 2 years running, let alone be facing someone who isn’t one of the traditional big clubs. Ralph blew it, poor selection (Redmond up front) and god awful passive tactics. It was as bad as Mark Hughes “attempt” to get us to the final and both managers let us down on the day (as did the players).

Firstly, Labour and Lib Dem’s are involved. Lammy got paid for a radio show, Starmer worked for the Gib Government. This is not a party political debate, so stop with your pony on that score. Secondly, why is the PM different, or the chancellor or the Foreign Sec, these people have 2 jobs. If they can do that and look after their constituents why can’t Lanny do his radio show and look after them? Thirdly, if Cox broke the rules, then he will be sanctioned. I was talking about behaviour within the rules. If Cox earns £5 million a year, doesn’t attend Parliament but doesn’t break the rules that’s between him and his electorate. That’s still bad behaviour IMO. Fourthly, it’s a bit classless bringing Shipman into it, but that tells me a lot about the type of person you are. -
Better? We had a decent shot last season, but were pretty pathetic in the semi final. History tells us we don’t get many chances to reach a final and the last 2 have been fucking limp surrenders.

So an mp can have 2 jobs as long as their staff take care of constituency matters? Or does that apply only to Boris. Could my snap dragon be an mp and continue to work 1 day a week in the hospital, with her staff looking after constituency matters on that day, is that ok or not? What if she wanted to volunteer at the hospital 1 day, is that allowed or is it only paid work you’d ban Are MP’s allowed to write books, are they allowed a radio show a couple of hours a week, can the referee lower league football matches, can they own a business? Typical leftie looking at how they want the world rather than as it is. You’re trying to legislate away bad behaviour, rather than let the voters decide. -

I’ve no idea, but come the next election they’ll be able to decide whether they think he was a good representative or not. Much better than somebody like you deciding who can and can’t represent them, and deciding how much time they need to devote to the job. -

Surely it’s for the electorate to decide, not you. What if someone stated they would only be in Parliament for 50% of the time and get voted in, who are you to say they can’t -

In the same post you originally made the statement, you said you’d treat them like paid employees. Employers decide if employees can have a second job. They work for their constituents, if they don’t like it they can sack them. -

It’s not up to you or other people to determine how long an MP needs to spend in Parliament. Or who can represent us. If I stand as a candidate stating I’ll work 3 days as an MP and 2 as a Traffic warden and the good people of Poole return me as their representative, why should you or anyone else decide that the votes somehow invalid. Some of you really struggle with democracy. -

What happens if your proposal is granted and a by-election is triggered. If the bloke who failed to reach the required attendance % wins, and then continues to not attend enough, do we have another by-election or does he get a pass? -

Isn’t being an MP & Prime Minister two different jobs? -

The keeper catches his leg, which causes it to hit his other leg. -
I wish Caraghar would shut up with this “Trent” pony, he’s getting right on my tits. He doesn’t call anyone else by their first name.. fucking plank.

I didn’t say we were. Read it again before writing pony. -
I imagine they’ve had the nod from someone already.

Shit, you’ve rumbled me. I should have known I couldn’t stay undercover with geniuses like you around. -

“We all know”. I’d imagine most posters aren’t as childish as you. Whilst fundamentally disagreeing with me, most won’t think I want us to keep losing. -

Isn’t it a bit early for this thread? Maybe see how the next few months pan out. -
Pony. I’ve posted praise for the bloke on various threads, particularly the match day ones (when it’s deserved). I can totally understand you not wanting to read my opinions, but try not to make things up when you don’t. it’s getting very tiresome now.
