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.

Tripe yep lovely raw with loads of vinegar and peper.

ohhhhhn them were the days when you had a few slices of toasted hovis with it.

Used to sit back in my armchair with my flat cap on watching my ferrets playing on the rug and tucking in.

Cant get it now around here. Shame.

Straight out of the sea fresh it was.

tripe from the sea? ...... that's a new one, and almost certainly not edible raw anyway
i used to quite like the seam in a mustardy sauce piquante which we used to get in southern germany at the local weinstube

Manuel,

Just for you,

You would comfortably as a bed mate of the greenest tory government I can remember.

Cyners LOL, well it looked raw my mum never boiled it like some do with onions. . Cows stomach lining isnt it.

It certainly looked raw and came straight from the local fish and chip shop.

it is indeed and i agree about tripe and onions ...... the french love it that way, especially in Caen i think

For Manuel.

As the public read it

"What a strange reversal: the husky-driving, hoody-hugging, all cycling, all focaccia-baking David Cameron says he wants to be more like John Major. To be precise, the prime minister has said he wants to learn lessons from the 1992 general election campaign.


I think we all know what he means. Faced with the resurgence of Sir John'spersonal and political profile, the men in No 10 have a choice. They can try to slap down the former PM as he makes a series of blistering interventions onsocial mobility and the cost of living. This is tricky, because he has struck a chord with voters. Or they can agree with Major and hope that some of his renewed popularity rubs off on them.

Cameron has obviously decided to go for option two with bells on. He identifies himself as an "underdog" like Major, campaigning for victory at the next election against the odds. Faced with an uphill battle to win a majority, he wants in on the act of the man portrayed in cartoons as grey, with his underpants over his trousers.

Cameron has done this before. At the last election, when he realised how popular Nick Clegg was suddenly becoming, he started saying "I agree with Nick", every five minutes. But while some will call it political savvy, Cameron's new strategy of saying "I agree with Sir John" is shot through with inconsistencies."

i like the bit at the very bottom .....

which party do you trust most on immigration?

44% say none of them - which rather sums up the public's opinion of ALL politicians regardless of their persuasion

MK.

It appears to me that the questions are slanted to produce the responses the pollster required. The voting is made base on inadequate statements and information and appears to be to stimulate emotional bias.


But it is interesting to see the polling position of the CON party on trust.

After, the backlash from Cameron's smearing has settle down I would expect it will be lower.
-

of course the questions were slanted .... why would you expect otherwise, especially from the likes of the daily mail ..... the guardian or the socialist worker or the sun or the sunday sport would also conduct any surveys and questions slanted towards the result required

Yep, the 44% answer is a shocker!

Perhaps people are waking up to these charlatans?

And if you asked the question, "who do you think is to blame for the immigrant problem?" what would the public say? They ought just to give a one word answer - Labour. Labour have admitted several times that they got it wrong.

Yes, but the tories have done sod all to solve it!

They have done quite a bit and were fought every inch of the way by Labour. There were so many cock ups left by Labour it hasn't been possible to fix them all in three years. Don't forget that Labour had thirteen years to screw things up and they used every minute to make stupid decisions. The Conservatives have had a mere three years to fix the mess and put it all back together.

Hays.

The present Con Party is a not a cock up, it is misconception.

Cameron seemed to consider himself a miracle worker, should like you stop bleating, engage his brain and start thinking rather the reacting off the cuff then start making properly considered actions.

His administration is a disaster.

Or possibly go to Michael Gov for remedial teaching.

I wonder what he plans for his retirement home in 2015.

Suggest the Cayman Isles.

WW2 only lasted 5years.


Suggest before you trying making excuses, bleating and blaming anyone other than your party, that you review John Major and Maastricht Treaty and the glorious Rebels.

What did they ratify.

They have done sod all!

They could have nipped it in the bud by changing the law, they did nothing!

And lets not get into universal benefits, we cant afford to pay hundreds of thousands of migrants to do sod all.

We have millions of people who are unemployed/don't want to work already, now they invite another load of freeloaders.


where is the money going to come from?

Feet of Clay.
