  1. Was this all some elaborate wind-up ?
  2. Bending the barrel would be easier if you heated it up first ?
  3. I think with the advent of the internet the line of official membership has been so blurred that you could only be a member if official guidelines have been followed. Not likely with an organisation that isn't legal to begin with. I agree with what you're saying about sympathy and support but again that's where I believe the volume of internet history will play it's roll. I also agree that you can't ban ideas but what was an idea last year is a terrorist action this year... I'm more curious as to how easily they got caught. For all the praise being heaped on them, for patriotism, they su
  4. Surely a verdict would rest on the volume of information they have? Is it the law yet that your ISP has to keep your internet history for a year, in the UK? I don't think "visited the website site twice in 2015" would be enough. But "spends two hours a day surfing this and related sites" combined with "downloaded this info" and "donated £20 to a fundraiser on these dates" etc would show a pattern that would be used to argue the case against them. Especially when they'll read the content of the material you've sent/received via the digital media. They'd need a massive amount but what that a
  5. Nope... In fairness, most of us have probably had a little lovers kiss on the cheek, from a 12 bore, but most of those are just frightening !
  6. If I were to look at their website (if they have one), would that make me a sympathiser ? Also - genuine query, if anyone knows the answer - how do you prove that someone belongs to a proscribed organisation ? I presume you don't pay your subs and get a membership card ! Is it enough to be mates with the 'leader' ? Intercepted phone calls ? Attending one of their tiny gatherings ? Having a pint with known members ? What about sympathisers ? Are they also guilty of......something or other ?
  7. That 2nd amendment thing you have......should it really apply to everyone ?
  8. I was thrown out of Weight Watchers, for making sarcastic comments about t either members. I accepted their decision with huge grace....... .....because she got thrown out as well !
  9. I had to save up for my locator, without the good lady knowing - she'd only find some old tat to spend it on ! Told her it only cost me 30 quid......
  10. That's a little unkind, I personally think (when he chooses too) BGD can be quiet thought provoking. Most of the time, he's just provoking.......
  11. What happened to Gnasher is Gnasher's business. That much should be obvious !

    "It's almost as if we'd prefer him to lie, because we find his opinions uncomfortable."..........brilliant !
  13. I agree with you on the wine thing ! How can you "get hints of vanilla and smoky blackcurrant" when it's made from f***ing grapes ?????
  14. Well, I'm standing by a river, but the water doesn't flow........

  15. We don't need acronyms......there's already enough names for them !
  16. That fecking He-Man and Skeletor telly ad !!
  17. Just thought of another......smartarses !
  18. What's got a huge cock and speaks French ? Moi ! (I'll get my coat !)
  19. A few of my minor grievances...... Noel Edmonds. Checkout operators who chat to next checkout operator while they're supposed to be serving me. EastEnders. The kids who insist on re-enacting the Seige of Sebastopol outside my garden fence, on every day of the school holidays. People who think WH Smith is a library. The contractors who cut our green areas, leaving mashed up litter everywhere (and the people who leave the litter in the first place !) Bad manners and impoliteness generally. Couriers who throw my parcels over the fence. People who are so busy
  20. I have a bicycle......that I have been known to ride......from time to time.I use to ride much more seriously - I cycled everywhere, and rode the London -Brighton, London-Canterbury and the Round London charity rides several times (the shortest of those was around 28 miles). These days, I'm with Bird - a few gentle miles now and then, to stretch the dog's legs (I'm 54 and not exactly in perfect health)....... My point of the thread was that Wiggins was headline news, when he won Le Tour (on one occasion), he became Sir Bradley, he still does telly ads and appearances now, it was "Wiggins, Wi
  21. Wiggins had, and still has, "an image".....I don't think Froome does himself any favours being so modest and quietly spoken. But, I guess he'd say he doesn't do it to seek glory ?
  22. I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing, when it first broke on the news. When I saw the first TV reports, I couldn't believe what I saw.......just terrible beyond words......I still look away from the films of the planes hitting the Towers.

  24. Chris Froome has won the Vuelta a Espana (Tour of Spain), becoming the first British to win the race. He is only the 3rd cyclist to win Le Tour and the Vuelta in the same year, in the tyre treads of the great Jacque Anauetil and Bernard Hinault, and the first rider to achieve the feat in 40 years. And still no recognition !
