  1. Paraffin is supposed to be a good treatment.
  2. Merry christmas, are you in Oz?
  3. I'm not tight at all. I do like a bargain though.
  4. Actually smartarse there were no Turkeys, or hams, but there were ducks at 1/2 price which are now in the freezer. Merry christmas.
  5. Sherry Trifle (or in my case i've made Port Trifle).
  6. Is anyone else planning on stocking up the freezer with hams, turkeys etc at discount prices just before closing time this evening? I find that Tesco's are pretty stingey with their reductions, but the co-op usually make some really big reductions.

  13. Thanks for the clarication. So in the case of Pauline she would be know as Lady Pauline. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1293074/Baron-Prescott-Kingston-Hull-takes-seat-House-Lords.html
  14. I'm currently a member of the UKIP and at present have no intention of leaving this party in favour of the Conservatives. That said I do want to see a Conservative majority in 2015 because only under these circumstances can we really assess the situation.
  15. But Clarke is right, and Michael Howard was wrong - prison as it is now doesn't work. The re-offending rates prove this point conclusively. I would introduce the policy "Work sets you free". Chain gangs are a tried and tested option, but there are myriad other options from treadmills to create free energy to industry on a large scale. In prisons there is far too much spare time - make prisoners work, make prisons profitable, and you will make prison work.
  16. I don't think he is "wishy washy", he's just playing the hand he's been dealt in the times we live in. Unlike Magaret Thatcher in 1979 and more so in 1983, he doesn't have not only a majority as in 79, but a huge majority as in 83 when Thacther could do exactly as she pleased. He is having to tread carefully for now an put up with dinlos like Vince Cable because another election at this stage would be inconclusive at best or deliver a Labour win at worst. What he is waiting for is for the cuts to start reaping rewards. Once this happens and the public start thinking "the Tories might be toffs but they've made me better off" then the need to appease the Liberals dimishes and it could be advantageous to ensnare them and cause them to break up the coalition and go to the polls. With a Conservative majority and no need to use the Liberals we would certainly see a more Conservative approach and a better chance of a sucessful Britain.
  17. We should be finishing 1st or 2nd, i'm not convinced we will though. We're going to need to see a vast improvement in our away form and we've been lucky enough to have had two away games postponed that will give us a nice run of away games. Some may see this as a negative, but I see it as a positive and an opportunity for NA and the team to banish the away form demons. Napoleon once said "let china sleep for when she awakes the world will tremble". The same applies to us. Now is the time, a golden opportunity, for us to make our rivals tremble. During our Dell days we were always known as a good home team, but crap away, but this isn't completely true. When the chips were down we went to places like Oldham, Norwich, Wimbledon and raised our game and won and stayed up. We now need to see that same spirit return from now til the end of the season.
  18. That is complete nonsense. Labour over the past 13 years have done nothing for the working classes. All Labours efforts benefitted slob families like Karen Matthews and her ilk and immigrant families that they've let in, housed and supported with benefits. If you're a white working class family you will have seen your slob neighbours given handouts left right and centre and you will have seen immigrant families given houses, benefits and jobs. And the very fact that these immigrants have flooded in will have seen wages supressed because of the simple logic of supply and demand. At the same time Labour has increased taxes time and time again and indebted the country with a bloated public service and mountain debt that need paying back. The Conservative party on the other hand believe in less beurocracy and more freedom by allowing people to keep their own money. This creates jobs and wealth for the people that get out there and are prepared to work. That is how it should be and I bet if you speak to true working class people and ask them whether they should be allowed to keep more of the money they earn as oposed to supporting slob families and eastern european families then they would say of course they should, and the irony is that they probably vote Labour but the fact of the matter is that they should be voting Conservative. Voting Conservative and admitting to be a Conservative voter has always been a stigma for working class people, but in the 1980's we saw that the working classes knew a good thing and voted Margaret Thatcher back in time and time again. They did this despite the Conservative party being populated by toffs because unlike idiots with chips on their shoulders they knew what was good for them. The same will happen in 2015 as happened in the 1980's. British people know what is good for them and that is a Conservative government.
  19. Lady Victoria sounds like an up market prostitute.
  20. An Audience With Freddie Star is on ITV3 now. Been on half an hour, hopefully not missed the maggot chucking. One of the funniest tv moments ever.
  21. Also I think it's wrong how Beckham can get a Knighthood while Bruce Forsyth is continually overlooked.
  22. Now you put it like that it does have some appeal.
  23. What he did as a footballer, and what any player does as a footballer, does not deserve a knighthood. Similarly what any sportsman achieves at sport doesn't deserve a knighthood. Similarly again personal achievements in any field doesn't deserve a knighthood. My view is that knighthoods should be given to people who do things for others. In this respect Beckham has been an enthusiastic ambassador for the olympic and world cup bids and i'm sure he's done a lot more besides. On this basis I think he should be getting a knighthood in 20 years time if he's still doing the same things, but not now because I don't think he's done enough. I wrote to the palace a while back, and received a reply, concerning my request for a knighthood to be given to the members of the public that confronted and tackled the terrorists at Glasgow airport. In the letter back they told me a knighthood wasn't approriate for this, but if you do a google you will see that they were honoured with either a cbe, mbe or some such honour. Maybe that was thanks to my letter...
  24. For now I think we need to be accomodating towards the Liberals. We can't afford for the coalition to collapse whilst the austerity measures haven't achieved their goals of building a strong economy. Once Britain is booming and there is a feel good factor then it's time to force the Liberals into making the error of bringing down the govt forcing an election that we can win. Result a Conservative majority and a dead Liberal party. The Conservatives can campaign on how they brought Britain back from the brink and how the Liberals betrayed the British publics trust in them to govern. Just so long as Davids little brother is still in charge of Labour the plan is genious.
  25. As opposed to the middle class hobby Socialists that don't have to live with the consequences of economically ignorant Socialism. Make no mistake Socialism is only good if you're rich enough to be charitable, or that idle that you need handouts. If you're working class (literally working) then a Conservative government is your best friend.
