    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    I don't know what rock "MessiahRobins" crawled out from under, but i really wish he/she would go back there and take his/her warped views of international geo-politics with him/her. And stop calling everyone "kid" you demeaning, disrespectful WANKER!

    Israel - Palestinian Conflict

    TBF, I wouldn't believe that the Jewish Chronicle report anything on the Palestinian issue (for want of a better word) objectively. E.g. "The survey found that just under half of British Muslims, 46 per cent, said they sympathise with Hamas" could be rewritten as "More than half of British...

    Things that annoy you

    Only after damaging a generation. Whoever told a woman that they look in any way attractive was doing so to make money from exploiting them.

    Would you rather sit and clap politely like a Fulham fan?

    Death List 2024

    He was the sort of player Razor Ruddock 'styled' himself on. A great player for Forest, City and Liverpool.

    Things that annoy you

    "Payne's Poppets" - little boxes of them were a staple in the vending machine at the public baths (as they were called) when i was a lad. I suspect if i had one now i would be able to smell the chlorine and verrucas!

    Kate Middleton

    That ain't Kate (looks more like Lady Cholmondley-Warner, if you ask me). My Mrs had abdominal (gynae) surgery 5 years ago and it was 3 months before she was back in circulation. Not that i particularly give a shit about Kate or the rest of the royals, but leave the poor girl be to recuperate...

    Cricket 2024

    From 137-2 to 218 all out (after winning the toss). Another fine example of the failings of Bazball! Maybe they were looking at the jaw-dropping scenery. India 96-0 in reply.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Apparently Haley has pulled out, so it is a Biden/Trump re-match. Heard today that something like 70% of US voters don't want either of them. Didn't realise they were that sensible!

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    This comment could easily belong in the "Things that annoy you" thread, but as it has a political theme, i will keep it away from there:- The undermining of Parliamentary process by "leaks" of proposals in the Budget does my fuckin' head in! All of it should be embargoed until the Chancellor...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The Lords, when populated with experts and all-round good eggs like him, is no bad thing - the appearance of hereditary peers IS!

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Hardly in common use though, I'd venture. Forgive me for not having a link to Urban Dictionary in my Bookmarks bar!

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I think SBD was suggesting you use "wishful thinking" as a description of my ramblings rather than a street term that no-one has ever heard of, not that it was valid for me to adopt it (whether i did or not).

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Living in Ukraine has clearly taken its toll on the "teenager" in the middle!

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Never heard it used in that context, but then again, i am rather older than 10.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    If they are their constituents they can't stop engaging with anyone - that's what they are elected to do. Maybe don't engage with them through the railings of the Palace of Westminster or on the QE2 bridge. Is that what they mean??
