I don’t want to entertain the faintest notion of Gerald’s legs in a pair of stockings. There, I’ve said it now, and so it follows that the mental image will haunt me forever. Damn you Zlatan.
I live to give and share. Ask OG, Flecc or JA. (Tom the bigot) I, m sure they will provide confirmation. Danidl is still considering his stance, like Gerald did in his tights .
I, m guessing 8 tonight.

A balanced report but rather boring. Long winded way of saying nowt. Thanks. I wasted 2mins of my precious time reading it..
I didnt notice your "balanced" soliloquy (thrown in earlier) mention insults, swearing, drug use and flogging stuff. So thanks for pointing out even under your definition this forum, and especially this thread, are not balanced.
OG and JA (Tom the bigot) will be along soon to confirm. Where is OG every afternoon? Oh I forgot, he pops into co op to display his meat and veg. Oh, silly me.
Ive no idea who tom is (from you and fingers' unrequited longing, rage and inability to get over him I get the imression hes a virile lover that left you like roadkill in his wake?) I worked, which makes me like central london - if one only see it as a consumer/tourist one miss everything that really happen. Your post is exquisitely ironic. You do very little other than insult.

What I am aware of, and the vocabulary , I choose to use can be different. When you gratuitouly insult someone , as your last sentences have done, do not be surprised when there is comeback.
Your punctuation needs some more thought in this quote Danidl. My English teacher always insisted the portion of a sentence enclosed within commas, "and the vocabulary", when removed should leave the sentence still making sense. If you remove"and the vocabulary" from yours I, m afraid it doesnt make sense at all.

Could you translate this for me Tom, I dont understand any of it. Sorry.
Are you on the pop this early?
I, m glad you worked once upon a time though, you dont seem to be doing so at the moment. Take a deep breath, and have another go.

He’s furious zlats. You have to try and read it like that. Still doesn’t make sense but you can capture the sentiment.

I can assure you my head is a good deal higher than yours.
My comments are never deplorable, I was referring to JA not you for that trait. Agreed you are more civil. JA is not. His comments are horrible but you seem to like them.
As for my reference to Tolstoy, it was in answer to flecc's claim that this thread is impartial. How can that be when one poster is responsible for around 10% of its content. Look on here OG, you remind me of saying about past Rover engineers. Why use one bolt when four will do job. You post incessantly, reply to everyones posts, cut and paste all the time and use 10 posts to make not 10 points but one point 10 times. What's your postal daily rate OG? How much time are you dedicating to getting last word in? Whatever it is, its wasted on here. Hence why I seriously think you should put your ramblings on DM online. Millions would read rather than us 10 or so.
Your output should reach a bigger audience.
This place impartial. What a joke.
One thing is for certain you are way ahead of any other poster where it comes to being critical of others, aren't you?
For some reason almost every post of yours is critical of someone else, often, where it comes to me,when I am not even involved in the conversation, and you have a habit of regarding any criticism coming your way as a personal insult, as if you are in some way the self appointed Commissar of ethics and good taste.
And your notion that I am to be likened to Rover engineers who used four bolts when one would do would have made my old MD smile, as whenever he wanted something done in the quickest time using best and simplest practice, he gave the job to me.
But then again, you do have a very judgemental approach to people, don't you? and it is based on nothing more than your personal prejudices, and lord knows you seem to have n abundance of those.
That's why you come across as a comical figure, along the lines of Kenny Everett's "Angry of Mayfair"

Oh, so to be balanced we have to represent drug users and illegal bike users. Strange view of balanced.
Its diverse, I agree. But not balanced.
Balanced suggests a modicum of decency, law abiding and pleasant ness in my book. In yours we should have kray twins posting.
At least we are in agreement this thread is not balanced or impartial.
How can it be with OG and JA posting on it so much.
What we need on here is a counter for gratuitous insults received and delivered it would improve my street credibility no end
As my tally of Received would balance Zlatan's tally of delivered!

I say old chap have you ruptured your apostrophes lately, they do seem somewhat "low hung"

Its needs to be scaler though Gerald. Some insults are minor whereas Tom's tend to be major.For example "feckless shites" and "all leavers are liars" should out score "ruptured apostrophes". No comparison really.
As for the numbers insulted, whoever made comment "all leavers are liars" is winning that one. I, ve only insulted 3 or 4 posters, "all leavers are liars" insults 17.4 million people. No competition. I believe you "liked" that post so by association you also insulted 17.4 million.
JA decided all leavers were "feckless shites" so he, s sort of equal top of that group. Again, you liked his post, so again by association you are as bad.
So to the scores. OG 17.4 million insulted twice. Score 34.8 million.
Zlats insulted 4 posters. You win. Hands down.

The Telegraph pays him £275,000 a year. The Evening Standard is edited by a fellow Bullingdon boy. The Guardian is too puritanical to get properly stuck into the muck and journalists at the Mail are already being courted for potential comms gigs at No.10 – so it looks like no-one's going to bother asking this question unless we do...

Pundits have wondered why Boris Johnson and his team seem so keen to avoid addressing the substance of this "lovers' tiff". If anyone could bluster his way through some half-arsed excuse and emerge unscathed, it's him.

Could it be that the row he had with Carrie Symonds in her Camberwell flat actually went on significantly longer than has been reported so far – and that it contained many more personal details about the current state of his relationships?
Yes, that's relationships plural; no, we don't mean Bip Ling. (We'd have headlined the story "Bip Questions: Who's askLing what this week?" if we did...)

I, m not disagreeing with you over BJ. However the personal issues that could make him inappropriate pale into insignificance when we consider overall position. What is the point of appointing a new PM with absolutely no change of policy or proceedure.
The issue isnt who should be in no10 its where is the government going. May could not get her deal past government, we are missing the salient issue. Without change we either get no deal or remain. Rather than us all arguing about BJ we should, or government should, be deciding on strategy not personell. Without a change in strategy, which we are running out of time to decide on, let alone act upon, nothing can change irrespective of who is in no10.
I wonder if its all a distraction to keep us looking other way until Oct 31st.
Government shouldnt be arguing over BJ/Hunt they should be deciding on "no deal" /"remain" /"alternative", and actuall deciding what we are doing and not just getting what EU decide we are getting. Be that remaining, so be it. Be it no deal, well get organised for it. We are drifting with no course set, no bearing to sail on and no idea which port we are heading for. Squabbling over who is captain is futile.
When BJ or Hunt take up residence in no 10 we are right back where we started 3 years ago. Probably a worse place.

The house of commons, sherlock, will not allow the hard brexit bj is waving like a flaccid member at the baying mob. The government can not decide anything. Its performing a very poor pantomime because that's the only option. It's a mexican standoff.
