Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

In Australia the reality is that almost no one gets prosecuted for not voting.

Now come on guys lets keep things non personal. By all means have a good ding dong and debate but lets not resort to name calling etc. etc.

Dont want the problems that we had in the summer where management had to intervene.

quite right :-)
sorry Fred .... i confess i did get a bit carried away and fully deserve a wrist-slap

Fred, I would take issue with one thing in particular you have posted, post 20753 -
"I take it of course, that as you don't seem to be a subject of the USA, France Germany, or Syria, etc., you are not fit person to have a right to be critical of the actions of the government of those countries, or indeed voice any opinion."

And why not be critical of these governments? They all seem to be very critical of the government in this country and they don't belong to this country. The government of the USA in particular needs to get it's own house in order before passing judgement on how other countries conduct themselves.

Oh! how I agree dc, just wish they would all kiss and make up. Not sure about the colour of the lipstick and whether it would it would match the lycra gear but hey ho. Have a good evening all whatever you may be doing. Stop blinking arguing, life is too short.

Doodle.

I think there is a misunderstanding of the inferences I was making regarding previous exchanges with Mr C. I was being a little facetious.

I think it is perfectly right and proper to be critical, or complimentary of an administration of another country, or our own.

Often, the criticism, if honestly made and justified may be eventually listened to by the "leaders" or the "public" and can lead to beneficial change.

Look at changes in Burma and ME, perhaps even within Israel some realignment maybe occurring due to outside criticism.

I find it harder to credit the interference in the administrating of another country is by external force, but when one sees what is happening in Syria and Mali etc. sometimes it would seem appropriate.

3ms.

My mother told me not to trust ladies with lipstick on.

But I have always enjoyed trouble.

Ah! fred it was a good job lycra was not inveted then. My mum told me never to trust a man. Sorry.

(invented).

Oh! dear I forgot to add I prefer men to women so I must have always enjoyed trouble as well.

Er keep this thread clean please. :-))

Yes Sir. I will try to comly to the rules. It would be a first if I manage it. Ha ha!

I am so pleased that you have all managed to spend your Saturday evenings off this site. Hope you have all been wining and dining your loved ones.

PS.

In 1948 the United Nations passed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which called for 'respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion'.


You seem to me to have little regard for that declaration.

------------------------------------

Hypocritical post of the week for me.

You seem to take great pleasure in calling another poster Aids, you insult nearly everyone else on this board and you have the brass neck to invoke the UN Declaration. Practise what you preach.

By the way when I said you get on everyone's nerves I was probably wrong, but judging by the responses your posts elicit it's not far from the truth, so apologies for not been entirely correct. the remainder stands.

I was born in 1948 chuckles - just give it a rest for the weekend - enough to read in newspapers and watching the news. Just get to a night club and remind yourself how one used to boogy on and lets all give this a preverbial rest.

3m - you are younger than me ....... anyway, i shall resist the temptation of agreeing with chuckles though i do :-

Good morning cynic - It is not my fault you are an old git. haha!!! Have a nice day - it is persistantly raining here. Makes a change from the white stuff. Nursing a port bad head. hehe.

hope you drank proper vintage port and not the usual LBV rubbish ..... i've still got far far too much of the vintage stuff, even though i sold some last year

rain has stopped here (due west of london) and i believe forecast to be brighter later .... still no golf, so shall do some cooking so i can write up some recipes for my local fishmonger/butcher

It was a good one, decanted and all that jazz - never the less, it, still in copious amounts gives one the head from hell. One never learns. Uggg!!!! You will have to send me some recipies some time.

i have about 30 fish recipes that i can send you - they all work too!

the guy has now asked me to do some meat recipes for him,. so the first is chicken liver pate, followed by one for home-made baked beans to accompany a couple of versions of roasted belly pork


with regard to vintage port, it always helps to have eaten very well ...... also, the lighter ports like sandemans, croft and warre's are likely to be less damaging than the heavyweights like taylors and grahams
