  1. I'd say I'm relatively undecided and always open to persuasion from reasonable arguments The principle of a united Europe is one I agree with and I enjoy a lot of the benefits of being in the EU but I really don't like what it's turning into with austerity being imposed on countries by Brussels etc. So I don't really know how I'll be voting yet, a lot of research to do between now and the referendum I said "not many", but there's always one !
  2. I reckon its safe to say there aren't many 'undecided' on here...... (And even fewer open to persuasion !) I nearly forgot the question..........OUT AND STAY OUT !

  9. It can't just be me who finds it irritating (to say the least), when I watch the 6 Nations, for instance, and the English team sing the British anthem...? I think that "Land of Hope and Glory" is suitably rousing and would serve well........except for the Corbynistas, obviously ! Maybe we could get Simon Cowell to do "The Anthem Factor".........
  10. Land of Hope and Glory ! I even have it as my ringtone !!
  11. Was it Bertrand Russell ? "The only thing worse than dying, would be not dying."
  12. Well try not to miss you too much !
  13. A friend of our family recently celebrated her 92nd birthday. I jokingly mentioned the old "telegram from the Queen" thing, and she said to me........ "The only person who wants to live to to see 100, is someone who's 99 !"

  16. Leeds now has the first officially recognised "red light district", where hookers and their punters can go about their business undisturbed..........

  23. Aside from being a unilateral disarmer, like most of the Corbynistas, it seems that Emily Thornberry, the woman who would be in charge of our armed forces has some dubious contacts.......allegedly. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/labour/12084846/David-Cameron-Questions-to-answer-over-Emily-Thornberrys-links-to-condemned-law-firm-Leigh-Day.html
