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.

He is another great man. Lets put him up for knighthood - sir Balls :-))

Here's the differences between the main parties summed up with a bacon sandwich!!

Milibland, had to add sauce to spice it up, grabs with both hands and chops down hard. He's showing us he's a real working man if his expressions don't quite follow suit.

Cameron, a Tory would never have been seen as hands on and would remain rigid and have used a knife and fork to eat it.

Nigel Farage, sod the bacon it might not be British, a pie and pint man after his white van party followers...

The Ginger one, who cares!!

The Ginger one would have it demolished in two bites and in two seconds!

I think the problem with the Ginger one and his party is no one knows where he stands... Tory are for the rich, labour for working class, green for hippies and people who have too much time on their hands. But what's a Liberal Democrat? In the last election everyone thought it was for students etc but they seamed to have U-turned on that idea...

We are all in it together says the top 1%

I thought you were referring to Nicola Sturgeon, Shortie.:-))---------------

Sums it up! Fiver years of incompetence!

Is it choking him?

If not, why not?

fred - delighted you were (not remotely) interested in my response (answer!) to the question you asked ..... perhaps you thought i was like you and didn't answer questions

Napoleon,

Did read it and thought your reply was at your normal standard.

Didn't think it merited reply.

But the Jewish lobby and response to criticism is well organised.

======

Do you eat bacon and pork?

My guess is yes.

But watch the nitrates.

what a singularly stupid comment from you fred, but then i expect nothing else let alone better

from what you write, i suspect that you think i am also part of your phantasmagorical "jewish lobby", though nothing could be further from the truth ..... but never let facts get in the way of a good story

James Blunt, the singer, has issued a robust response to an MP who criticised his privileged background, saying his "populist, envy-based, vote-hunting" ideas were making the country worse.


Blunt told Chris Bryant, the shadow culture secretary, he was teaching the "politics of jealousy", after the MP spoke out to condemn a lack of diversity in the arts.


Mr Bryant told the Guardian one of his priorities if he became a minister would be to encourage fairer funding, encouraging organisations to hire from a wider variety of backgrounds rather than just "arts graduates from Cambridge".


"I am delighted that Eddie Redmayne won [a Golden Globe for best actor], but we can't just have a culture dominated by Eddie Redmayne and James Blunt and their ilk," he said.


Blunt, who was educated at Harrow, served in the Army and is known for his no-nonsense response to critics on Twitter, has now issued a public reply to the MP, saying he had to work as hard as anyone in the music industry to combat accusations he was "too posh".

His letter in full:

Dear Chris Bryant MP,

You classist gimp. I happened to go to a boarding school. No one helped me at boarding school to get into the music business. I bought my first guitar with money I saved from holiday jobs (sandwich packing!). I was taught the only four chords I know by a friend. No one at school had ANY knowledge or contacts in the music business, and I was expected to become a soldier or a lawyer or perhaps a stockbroker. So alien was it, that people laughed at the idea of me going into the music business, and certainly no one was of any use.

In the army, again, people thought it was a mad idea. None of them knew anyone in the business either.

And when I left the army, going against everyone’s advice, EVERYONE I met in the British music industry told me there was no way it would work for me because I was too posh. One record company even asked if I could speak in a different accent. (I told them I could try Russian).

Every step of the way, my background has been AGAINST me succeeding in the music business. And when I have managed to break through, I was STILL scoffed at for being too posh for the industry.

And then you come along, looking for votes, telling working class people that posh people like me don’t deserve it, and that we must redress the balance. But it is your populist, envy-based, vote-hunting ideas which make our country crap, far more than me and my s--t songs, and my plummy accent.

I got signed in America, where they don’t give a stuff about, or even understand what you mean by me and “my ilk”, you prejudiced wazzock, and I worked my arse off. What you teach is the politics of jealousy. Rather than celebrating success and figuring out how we can all exploit it further as the Americans do, you instead talk about how we can hobble that success and “level the playing field”. Perhaps what you’ve failed to realise is that the only head-start my school gave me in the music business, where the VAST majority of people are NOT from boarding school, is to tell me that I should aim high. Perhaps it protected me from your kind of narrow-minded, self-defeating, lead-us-to-a-dead-end, remove-the-‘G’-from-‘GB’ thinking, which is to look at others’ success and say, “it’s not fair.”

Up yours,

James Cucking Funt

The Telegraph

Napoleon,

Don't make yourself look a bigger fool than you already are.

I have read your opinions on the Israeli's government actions against the "Palestinians" over a number of years and notice you have disdain for many of them.

I expected your response.

Whether you are a member of the Jewish lobby or not is irrelevant to me, but I suspect you would be to tight to be.

But, to my mind and that of others, there is a "Jewish" lobby, which jumps on any attempt of critics of "The Jewish State" and attempts to deprecate their opinion on anything contradicting their own views.

That does not mean that there are many Jews and those of Jewish origin who are not critical many of the Israeli governments pronouncements and actions.

Who is James Blunt?

attempts to deprecate their opinion on anything contradicting their own views.

sounds just like zeebedee

===========

just shows how totally out of touch you are
don't suppose you've heard of (m)any singers since the age of doris day

He's a musician Fred, not in Bing Crosby's or Frank Sinatra's era so I don't expect you will have heard of him. Actually I'm not a great fan of his music, but I agree with his sentiments!

No doubt you listen to 1920 - 30's music , he is a bit more modern. :-)) You will have to update your gramophone and buy a CD player or even download off the internet.
