OK my turn. You said Rockall is 270 miles from Britain. Do you stand by that?

Yes I do. Is this 20 questions?

So that's a no then.

Whoever it was that wrote the United Nations founding charter thought the same.

Have you got a credible source for this little titbit?

I've been forced to wear an armband many times. Festivals, swimming pools etc. and most frequently in hospitals. Where do I go to get my compensation?

Who is this Rally CB that you speak of?

I think he was referring to Labour's internal voting procedures, that are about as democratic as the Albanian Mafia.

I presume you have a credible source that the cost of maintaining the Falklands was the cause of the conflict. The islands were self- sufficient the first time I went there 25 years ago and have been ever since, so your point about 2016 is irrelevant. The treasury collects more every year than it can spend. It has no borrowing. Don't try and dress this up to be anything other than a shameful attempt to walk away from our obligations to protect the islanders.

With the exception of the British Military installations, the Falkland Islands are financially self-sufficient. But don't let facts confuse you.

As long as we've got somebody to give him a push to get him started.

You won't do anything in a hurry with an Austin.

Did you read my post?

Who's "we"?

You can make that 569,999 I signed up, but just to see if it was possible to vote from the Middle East using a false name and address and a random gmail account. It was. Now that's real democracy for you.

So you start off with a critique of something I didn't say, then close it with an answer I didn't give. You're starting to fit in very well here.

Well I do. I was referring to Johnnyboy's pathetic betting offer. How about you? Do you feel better now you've got that huge agenda-filled load off your chest? If only you could find a cure for the chip on your shoulder.

That was where you lost me.

Can I be the first to say who, who, who, who, who and who?

:lol:

Presumably to play centre back?

He's a socialist, always generous with other people's money.

I think you've just made Stan's point better than he did himself.

I just listened to the Hardtalk interview with the Bosnian foreign minister. A very good example of what's wrong with the way the EU is heading. Western Europe? No problem. Central and eastern Europe? At a pinch. But the Balkans are nowhere near ready for the degree of collaboration and integration that EU membership requires. And what about Turkey? Are they really in line? They're not even in Europe. The issue isn't about what the EU is now, and it's already near breaking point on many issues, but what will it become over the next few years? I didn't think I would say this, but I think now is the time to get out and leave them to it.

Uh-oh. Looks like somebody has made McInness an offer for FP.
