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.

of course he's talking nonsense, but if he doesn't like being told he's a bully, then he shouldn't act like one
as for diabetics having a higher incidence of dyslexia, i have never heard such total and utter rubbish in my life
a high % of diabetes is the result of a lousy diet and lifestyle and being overweight
that many then fail to control their blood sugar exacerbates the situation and leads to an even earlier death - my late business partner was a typical example
diabetes really is rather nasty and pernicious, for it slowly eats away from the inside, and there's no actual cure
however, with a proper diet and exercise, it can be very well controlled

Hays so you filtering Fred is a positive action but me filtering Cynic is nonsense, yes I see Hays.
Double standards from yourself as usual.
Nothing changes ehhh Hays.
The only way Ill unfilter him is if he gives a full and unreserved public apology here on this board.
He certainly knew i had Dyslexia Ive told him and the whole thread at least half a dozen times, ask Chris Carson, and Chris had the balls and decency to apologise.
Anyway I like Chris hes like me rough around the edges but you know what your getting.

No they all dont think Fred is an idiot.
Its the likes of Cynic yet again using other people who have built that image up of Fred.
Anyway I look upon Cynic as a coward using actions like he did yesterday evening.
ohhhhh and by the way Cynic as his fair share of detractors they just dont sAY ANYTHING BUT HE KNOWS i RECIEVED A BOX FULL OF COMPLAINTS (pms) AGAINST HIM VERY RECENTLY ON A CERTAIN THREAD and their were some very prominent names from this board amongst them.

Tim Stanley was brilliant. When asked why Gove hadn't listened to various people, he said "well he listened to you and listened to other people and did what the other people wanted. That's the way it works".

The audience were a bit shocked as Stanley told a few home truths that you can't just have a petition signed by 200,000 and expect to get your way as the other 60m didn't sign it and maybe disagree. It is the typical left wing petulance when they dobpn't get their way. The answer is they were wrong!

Britons have shifted in favour of voting to stay in the European Union, an exclusive poll reveals today.
More than half the public, 54 per cent, would vote to remain a member of the EU if an in-out referendum was held now. Only 37 per cent say they would vote to leave according to pollsters Ipsos MORI.
The finding is a dramatic turnaround from the voters’ verdict in November 2012 when 48 per cent wanted to leave and 44 per cent to stay.
It means opinion has turned around since David Cameron responded to the rise of Ukip in 2013 by pledging to stage an in-out referendum before the end of 2017.
Britons are deeply divided when offered a wider range of possible options for Britain’s future relationship with Europe. Only 13 per cent want “closer political and economic integration” and just 20 per cent say quitting altogether would be their first choice.
Some 30 per cent would like to return to being part of an economic community, without political links, while 32 per cent would keep things the same.
The survey found evidence that many people who intend to vote Ukip in next week’s European elections may defect to other parties or abstain when it comes to next year’s general election.
Nine per cent were “certain” they will vote for a Ukip MEP next week, but only four per cent felt sure they will back a Ukip candidate at the general election.
In a blow to party leader Nigel Farage, 57 per cent agreed that a vote for Ukip in a general election would be “a wasted vote” — a figure even higher than the 54 per cent who felt the same about voting Liberal Democrat.
But the poll found many people think Ukip has championed issues that the bigger parties ignore.
Some 51 per cent agree Ukip is “highlighting important issues which other parties are not taking seriously enough”.
The figure includes 59 per cent of people who voted Conservative in 2010 and 43 per cent of those who voted Labour. However, over four in 10 people think Ukip is “out of touch with the modern world”.
Gideon Skinner, head of political reseach at Ipsos MORI, said: “Many people clearly can’t see themselves casting a vote for UKIP, especially once the European elections are over.

#40830 looks spot on, that's the take I got from it as well.
The Mcvey bint looked like she was going to throw a hissy fit at any moment, Flynt stuffed her good and proper :-)
Stanley was the voice of reason and logic (not always what you want to hear)

Alders.....come off it. Mcvey and the Telegraph bloke had audience hissing at them at one stage. I reckon nobody stood out really.
In most shows you do get someone who stands out above everyone else but last night
it was equal all around i reckon bar Mcvey who is a poor politician.
