  1. That's the new leader- in -waiting you're talking about. I honestly believe you could take any random person off the street and they would do a better job than any of them.
  2. Home secretary Amber Rudd is to introduce a law banning the viewing of jihadist or far right videos. It's ok to watch them a few times but repeated viewings will bring police charges. How pointless is that? How many successful prosecutions does she envisage? The feckers will view them on different devices with different ip addresses.Doesn't she know censorship never works? Can't she see the law will be proved to be an ass? Talk about setting herself up for failure. amber-rudd-viewers-of-online-terrorist-material-face-15-years-in-jail

  4. Think about the charismatic, but outspoken managers the FA couldn't possibly employ because they were not quite the right kind of chap. Clough, J Charlton, even Redknapp. It's a bloody shame. We have got ordinary players now, so we need an extraordinary manager who isn't afraid to speak his mind. or experiment or be bold. But it will never happen with the establishment feckers at the FA.
  5. Ted Heath should get an award too.
  6. The Shooting of Dan McGrew is a brilliant poem as well
  7. The bloke has gone into complete meltdown. His desire has gone. The mind is a delicate thing.
  8. Been reading a lot about the Yukon and the gold rush. Always fancied the life of a trapper/ prospector. Came across this poem by Robert Service. I thought it was brilliant. Speaks to me anyway. the-spell-of-the-yukon
  9. Every time I see May I can only think of Mr Burns in 'The Simpsons'. Something about her body posture makes her a dead ringer for him.
  10. Moi? Surely not! BH, Wilf,Hydro I agree with most of the points you make on the principle of big government and human rights. But sometimes you just have to hold your hands up and say enough is efucking enough. I just checked some stats re- gun violence in America. They are not selective, slanted stats chosen to advance a particular argument.. I could quote a lot more. There have been 1.4 million gun related deaths in America between the years 1968 and 2011. Most of these were deaths gang related. In 2015 there were 572 mass shootings killing 475 people and wounding 1870. Of those mass shooti
  11. So there's no connection between the amount of guns held by individuals in any given country and the number of gun-related deaths within that country? In that case let's sell assault rifles in supermarkets.
  12. American gun laws allow gun carnage to occur with tedious regularity. UK gun laws are fairly sensible and mean we can all go about our business with relative safety.
  13. And what part of our law not letting us have guns can bring back the people at the Manchester concert and London Bridge, to name 2 attacks? We are permitted to possess guns providing we are not loonies or have a history of violence and plan to use them legitimately. In America any idiot can buy an assault rifle. Anyone can hire a van here. My point is banning one weapon won't stop fanatics killing Exactly. As i said in the other thread about the Las Vegas shootings, A man in a lorry killed 86 in Nice last year and yet... Nobody wants to ban HGV's. The people wbo do this are evil and
  14. Theoretically I can appreciate the American argument concerning the right to bear arms.But in reality that freedom becomes oppressive to the vast majority of its citizens. Believe me if every Rangers or Celtic bigot had the right to carry guns,there would be carnage every time these teams met each other. Sometimes reality must take precedence over theory.
  15. No,but American citizens need to be protected from random nutjobs who appear to be plentiful in the land of the free.

  17. The obvious truth is.... the yanks have ridiculous gun laws. No amount of defending the 'right of the individual to bear arms' and all that bollox can bring back 50 odd innocent concert- goers and thousands of other innocent lives every year. To take the yankee argument to its logical conclusion, an individual should be able to possess a nuclear bomb to deter the government from taking liberties with its citizens. They've got a collective screw loose.
  18. I've browsed that book a few times in a second hand bookshop,might have another look and drop a few hints to my Mrs.
  19. Yes mate. A lifelong dream gone, but he just couldn't leave such a big responsibility for his family to sort out............he did however downgrade to an American kestrel just to keep himself busy during this time......;-) A bit of black humour I knew you would appreciate. I saw a pair of golden eagles for sale for two grand.It seemed almost obscene to me that you could buy such ferocious beauty for the same price as a clapped out car! If I had the facilities to keep them I would have snapped his hand off.
  20. Getting rid of the eagle....that's feckin serious shit
  21. I had an alsation which was constantly bullied and ragged by my three quarter grey collie. One day she snapped big time. Couldn't pull her off. Eventually I got her off by aiming jet of water via a hose down the back of hervthroat so she had to release. The grey had to have more stitches than a potato sack.As you say I pity any dog that Buck does have a go back.
  22. Roofrack class. Was it chilly sitting there?
  23. Now look what you've done. Wilf will get excited by that print and this thread will run and run.
