  1. What really sicken me is all the Conservative MP's who are going to vote against a referendum because it'll help their promotion chances. Career politicians with no conviction the lot of them.
  2. Who is that dopey looking Tory with the Yellow (obviously dyed) hair and pink tie sitting there nodding like a spastic?
  3. When you say WE do you mean people old enough to vote and therefore not YOU?
  4. I get it, but if that's what it takes to force the Tories back to the right then so be it. It won't be a nice period but it is essential if we want to get a choice between parties back and not this bland middle ground blur. New Labour V Blue Labour. I'm sure many Labour supporters would also be willing to make sacrifices to put their party back to the left!
  5. UKIP is where you go. At the last election the party won enough votes in marginals to keep the Tory candidate out and their vote will increase now. Of course you'll get those who grin and bear it and vote Tory to stop Labour, but an increasing number will not vote tactically and will vote UIKP. Cameron has well and truely hammered a nail into the partys coffin over this and if the economy doesn't improve dramatically he'll pay dearly in 2015 as votes are haemoraged both left and right. As for the Liberals they got their vote on AV and that is all they are bothered about. P.S this debate is not about AV so please don't bore us with your waffle Andy.
  6. And why not? Are you one of these people (like Cameron) that doesn't believe in giving people a democratic say because the odds aren't right? It's because of this attitude towards voters that politicians are hated so much now.
  7. This is so true. And also when you buy your chip board flat pack for several hundred pounds remember it's virtually worthless in terms of resale opportunities and will be dated once the next colour fad arrives. It was nasty black chip board, then nasty pine chipboard, then nasty dark wood chipboard and now we're back to nasty black chip board. On the other hand quality antique furniture is timeless and will always look good.
  8. Will do, but I like the rustic country look, even if it was bodged together!
  9. Yeah but I shall refrain from saying how much until Nick says how much I should have payed...
  10. Oh god, i'm watching bbc parliament now and that annoying nerd aka Millibean is speaking. Wish he would shut up as his voice really grates with me.
  11. Hi Nick, cheers for that. I've already sent you an email because I knew would be the man who knows! I've already beeswaxed it as I hope the photo shows! (got bored though and will do the legs a bit later. I was actually tempted by a cricket table, but was suspicious about whether the top and stand/legs were a marriage or had been restored a lot as two of the legs had 5 ball things, another 6 and the back just looked different and chunkier. It was really nice though. Decided against the chest of drawers as it had been in the sun and wasn't sure whether i'd be able to make it look good again.
  12. I will be watching this with interest. Cameron has made a major error of judgement by appeasing Guardian readers and ignoring his core supporters on this one. I applaud those Tories who will defy the three line party whip, and clearly we won't get a say as the motion will be easily defeated. However this issue will not go away and today will be a good day for the UKIP and a bad day for the Conservative Party. UKIP's support will continue to strengthen and the Tories will never again be in a position to form a majority government until they win back the voters they are losing to the UKIP. UKIP are very powerful in the marginals that the Tories need in that they are preventing the necessary gains and this will, IMHO, eventually force the likes of Cameron and his poodles out of a party they do not belong in.
  13. Changed my mind as so often happens. Fell in love with this little number. It was sold as 17th century, but i'm sceptical of that! Hoping it's George III period at the latest though as it's my favourite period in our history.
  14. He should be given the Marsden song...
  15. Well i'm a firm believer in rewarding those who work hard. It sends out the right message.
  16. What's the point when I can do it myself?
  17. I think so. He is IMO our best player. Not for his skill, but for his work ethic. If you can get a player like a Marsden or Chaplow in your team it rubs off on the others. He's captain material IMO.
  18. I've decided that I'm going to get a georgian mahoganny bow fronted chest of drawers today. I had considered buying new, but after seeing them in an antiques centre I just can't see the point of buying new sh/t that is going to be worthless as soon as it leaves the shop when I can get solid dovetailed craftsmanship for 450 quid. This just seems like absolute peanuts to me for what it is. That said they could do with being given a shine. Do I spend hours using beeswax or is there a better alternative?
  19. As do I. It's getting more cringeworthy all the time.
  20. The bloke who served me was English so I didn't have to give him my order twice or say it slowly.
  21. Chaplow. He worked hard, the rest didn't (outfield players).
  22. This.
  23. That must have been nice for them.
  24. So one good moment and the rest of the time he was sh/t. He must be the new Matt Le Tissier then.
  25. I'm the first to say when I believe our support was poor as it was at Cardiff and Derby, but against Reading despite us not playing well it was good. Had the team done their part it would have been even better.
