THE TALK TO YOURSELF THREAD. (NOWT)     

goldfinger - 09 Jun 2005 12:25

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.

I'm not even gonna bother to vote, Cyners. I've got better things to do, and I can't be doing with all the "Tally Ho, it's British, it's democracy, it's important" cr@p.

My local constituency is one of the safest Tory seats in the country and the outcome is nailed on, but the last MP was a tosser who had his fingers in the till, so I don't feel much like giving the Tories my vote, and I'm certainly not gonna give my X to any of the other parties.

Dil - 07 May 2015 07:48 - 59713 of 81564

Bit like round here Hils , stick a Labour rosette on a monkey in our constituency and it would win.

Think I'll go for Plaid or UKIP , both full of dickheads but they won't win anyway.

hilary - 07 May 2015 07:51 - 59714 of 81564

Dilbert,

You make being PM sound like a poisoned chalice. :o)

I'm not sure on the constitution, but, as the incumbent PM, he has responsibilities to the Great British public and it's not really cricket to just 'up and off'.

cynic - 07 May 2015 07:53 - 59715 of 81564

as you know hilary, i believe very strongly that everyone who can vote, should vote, and i care not for which party

our constituency is also a very safe seat, so i am certainly tempted to vote away from my norm as a pathetic protest, purely because i think both tories and labour are currently too awful, for lack of a better adjective

Dil - 07 May 2015 07:57 - 59716 of 81564

Hils , it could well be a poisoned chalice unless Cam can do a John Major.

Took Israel 8 weeks to form a government , imagine another 8 weeks having to listen Cam , Ed and the tiddlers slagging each other off 24/7.

TANKER - 07 May 2015 07:57 - 59717 of 81564

cynic go on vote ukip

hilary - 07 May 2015 07:58 - 59718 of 81564

Cyners,

Part of living within a democracy means that people have as much right NOT to vote as they have to vote. Once you start forcing people to vote, and castigating them if they don't vote, you're effectively removing their democratic right.

In any event, you should vote for the person or party who you feel deserves your vote. If nobody has done enough to deserve your vote, then there's no shame to be had for not voting.

VICTIM - 07 May 2015 08:04 - 59719 of 81564

Well i'm in a marginal , I've had numerous correspondence from Lab and Con . Dave has written to me personally ( well he calls me by my first name ) . Last letter was in pink telling me my vote is crucial to keep Ed out . Surprisingly it gets you thinking a bit more .

Fred1new - 07 May 2015 08:04 - 59720 of 81564

It would be interesting to see Cameron presenting a left winged Queen's speech to parliament in order to stay in "power".

MrT
on the basis that you'ld have me expelled from uk as an immigrant?
i don't think so :-)

=======

more seriously .....
my charming and well-spoken driver yesterday was a kashmiri, married with 2 children
the rest of his family still live in kashmir though he had lived in uk since about 2000

his wife, also kashmiri and who he married in kashmir before coming to uk, is a qualified nurse
very clearly, they certainly pay their dues, and secondly, though for obvious reasons i could not ask, i suspect that the wife was "invited" to uk to fill a much needed role

would you have them "expelled"?
if so, why so and if not, why not?

Fred1new - 07 May 2015 08:06 - 59723 of 81564

The state of the Con Party!



Is that Boris hiding behind Dodgy Dave?

Fred1new - 07 May 2015 08:09 - 59724 of 81564

At least it has saved another abortion.

Stan - 07 May 2015 08:10 - 59725 of 81564

Tory Tossers on here not voting Tory... you couldn't make it up -):

Just for the record I am in a pretty safe "Con" party seat but you won't catch me not voting the prat out.

Dil - 07 May 2015 08:19 - 59726 of 81564

My one daughter registered to vote in Bristol as she's in uni and it's a marginal. Her younger sister (18) asked me yesterday who she should vote for and I told her to chuck a dart at the literature we've had shoved through the door.

She said she might vote for David Cameron and Labour as they are red and so is the Welsh team ... bless her she's fecking clueless !

prodman - 07 May 2015 08:24 - 59727 of 81564

Sounds like she's inherited your genes then Dil :-)

VICTIM - 07 May 2015 08:27 - 59728 of 81564

Well at least we know the future is in good hands .

cynic - 07 May 2015 08:27 - 59729 of 81564

interestingly stan, if this was a marginal, i would assuredly vote for the tories, or certainly for another party that would keep labour out

as it happens, i'll almost certainly vote lib/dem this time as i am in tune with a number of their policies

Chris Carson - 07 May 2015 08:30 - 59730 of 81564

Well a vote for the Cons in Aberdeen is a complete waste of space and time so SNP or Lib Dem only option for me. SNP don't really need my help to kick Labour out of Scotland so probably vote Lib Dem. And hope that Cameron can persuade Clegg not to RED Line a vote on Europe and go back in coalition.

Dil - 07 May 2015 08:33 - 59731 of 81564

Nah prodman my genes wouldn't fit her but she nicks my sweatshirts sometimes :-)
