    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Can't make an actual point, looks like I'm losing this one, so I'll shout something and run away. Tedious.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Yeah. I'm not sure about your point but I've worked in private industry for ooh, twenty or thirty years. And yes, sometimes we send someone off with a big speech from a senior manager. We don't normally do it in a small room with a load of booze and crisps though, maybe our workplace is just a...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    You've already said you're happy to tolerate lies and criminality from our MPs because they're basically all the same. I don't need a high horse to rise above that, to get out of the gutter you just need to step on the kerb.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Quick question: Which bit of all of this stops the government in any way from taking decisive action on any other matter? It's a fatuous argument, this Daily Mail "don't they know there's a war on" bullshit. If anything all it proves is that we'd be better off moving on quickly to a leader...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Oh do come off it, you're insulting your own intelligence as well as ours. Look at the picture and tell me again that this was a brief send off for a much loved colleague. It was quite clearly a substantial piss-up at a time of national lock down when no such gatherings were allowed. Others...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Grow a fucking pair yourself and actually stand up for something. Its utter fucking bollocks to say everyone was at it and you know it. Maybe you did, I can't speak for your moral standards but most didn't and we expect the rules to apply to everyone. Nothing changes if you just sit on your...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Then why bother fucking voting? What's the point if you're just going to accept that politicians can do whatever they want once elected? This isn't a distraction, it's key - and it's bollocks to say that's it was ok because everyone was at it. How many stories do you have to hear about people...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Steve mate, it feels like you're working pretty hard here to try to excuse this! 🙂 It seems that other (more junior) people who attended the event were fined, ergo, it's an event that broke the rules that were in place at the time, as set by the Prime Minister. The photographs clearly show...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I'd disagree. If we want to get out of the current mess then we need trustworthy, competent, leadership. This goes to the heart of that. These people were partying whilst other people couldn't see their dying relatives in hospital or go to their friends funerals. They broke the very laws...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    What I can't understand is how you can bring the country to a standstill by going on strike, if apparently you're doing sod all when you're at work! Just the usual nasty party bollocks. One rule for them, another for us.

    USSR invades Ukraine.

    I kind of get where ESB is here. I do follow it fairly closely and I did get the impression that the final surrender in Mariupol wasn't really explained in terms of the bigger picture. That said, I've no general complaints about the journalism, I think it's inevitable that a certain amount of...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    "Let's get ready to Ru..... y Lopez" :) I had to Google that. I really don't have the patience for chess, or more likely the capacity. Draughts though, or complex strategy games like Ludo, I'm the unbeaten house champion. In my house. Anyhow, a little thread drift never hurt anyone, as long...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Indeed BSB, I'm not saying you're entirely wrong on it mate, and I don't want to fall out over it that's for sure. I think part of the reason you get the split at private/state school isn't just a class thing though, it's because state schools don't seem to have the resources (or perhaps...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    And my modern comprehensive school experience says the opposite, with Neil Back, Danny Grewcock and Tom Wood all having pretty stellar careers (and a whole lot of other mates who played for local grassroots teams). None of them are exactly posh. At Coventry RFC they generally update the CCFC...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    This isn't about football versus rugby and I don't get why people get so bogged down in that argument. It's possible to play and/or watch and enjoy either, both, or neither. And anyone who thinks it was always a sport for toffs doesn't know the history of the teams from the Welsh valleys or the...

    Cov RFC Season 21/22

    Just beat me to it. Listening on CWR, sounds like a tight game. It'd be a tremendous result if we could win this one, Ealing are miles ahead in terms of resources of course...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Pete, this Government isn't trying its best to do anything other than gaslight the country to give the impression that we're all suffering equally and there's nothing they can do to help. The people in charge of the country are both criminal and corrupt. All that they're actually trying hard...

    Can anyone explain the logic behind that 'removing the top' thing? I've never understood that.
