I wouldn't be too disappointed if everyone I met went down on me.Lots of people as I like to take a dislike straight away and then they can only improve, if you think everyone is great from the start they only go down and disappoint you
I should edit it to downwardsI wouldn't be too disappointed if everyone I met went down on me.

Politicians are, well... interesting beasts really. Take David Davis. In many ways an intellectual pygmy who flounders whenever he encounters nuance, but you know what he stands for, he sticks to his beliefs and, despite everything... he's relatively loyal. I'd trust him far more than the supercilious self-serving ego of Johnson, for example.In keeping with the other threads -and like may be a bit strong.
However, politics in seems has for many years been a grey world with politicians wearing a party badge but all essentially droning out the same weak liberal messages.
Really since conviction politicians like thatcher, foot and Benn we’ve had the dreadful major (surely an afterbirth left in Brussels steps) the repugnant Blair, the heir to Blair and his ghastly sidekick
Now as Andrew Neil refers to her we have Maybot.
May would be a nice next door neighbour - she’d keep her garden tidy, smile awkwardly and say good morning and remind you if you’ve forgotten to put the wheelie bin out.
Her biggest sin apparently was running through a corn field.
So a lot less edgy than someone whose been honoured by mass murderers, bunged the Mace across parliament and who wished he’d murdered Margeret Thatcher.
However, I was rather taken by the fact that when the ridiculous third runway was announced the said politician was protesting with the public (like a human being) and actually looked interested and passionate. This was followed in parliament by an equally emotional and passionate argument with the Zombie Chris Greyling.
Old style politics based on beliefs and conviction.
I suspect his time is up. The bright young things don’t like socialism any more and I believe he and his bearded chum are reaching the end - he will achieve a dream of leaving the EU but the support he’ll give will be at personal cost.
Which is what he’s about. Principal above politics.
So when he’s gone parliament will be a lot duller.
I find myself warming to John McDonnell- strange times indeed.
If impressively stupid!DiAnno is cool
Or Gove who I think Trumps him in the treachery stakes.Politicians are, well... interesting beasts really. Take David Davis. In many ways an intellectual pygmy who flounders whenever he encounters nuance, but you know what he stands for, he sticks to his beliefs and, despite everything... he's relatively loyal. I'd trust him far more than the supercilious self-serving ego of Johnson, for example.
So whether you agree or disagree with their politics, parliament and the country would be a lot better off with more of the likes of McDonnell and Davis, rather than desperate career hungry individuals such as Johnson.
One of my sporting heroes is/was Ray Reardon and at the time, I resented the fact that Davis took over from him as the world no 1.Steve "interesting" Davis.
Winning everything in snooker throughout the 80's, thinking he was funny, ginger.
I was in my early teens and thought he was a right smug bellend!
However, after maturing a bit and getting older, I found his dry-sense of humour funny on "They think it's all over" especially and realised he was alright.
He's now a DJ apparently, fair play to him!

Yeah. Think through the shows he's been in you can see a different side to him.Jack Whitehall, my opinion on him has changed a lot over the last 2 years
I went to Cally too when it was strict all boys school. I loved football and rugby, and played for the school and Cov Boys. My house master Mister Siddle was also my rugger coach, and we got on well. But he once called me into his office for missing detention. I thought I'd get a ticking off,but no he gave me the cane,two hard whacks on each hand, drawing blood. I pretended it didn't hurt but my bottom lip was wobbling ! I was only 14, but he went at me as if I was a bloke. At the end he said " don't forget you've got rugby practice later." I hated him for that, as I looked at the blood on my hands.. But I met him years later and he seemed a decent bloke, he said back then discipline was paramount, and they had to keep us in order. Could you imagine that today !My old school teachers at Caludon Castle.
I hated several of them at the time, but now I realize they were just trying to educate a bunch of idiots.
And some of them probably went into teaching because that was the only career open to them.

Vic Webb the maths teacher at Cally would punch you in the head, throw a board rubber at you,and strangely twist your ear. He was an ex army major and a scary bastard. But after duffing you up he'd say see you for your next lesson. A psycho teacher !My mate made an interesting point the other night. He said that now caning is illegal could those of us who regularly got the 'whack' claim compensation?!
