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.

hays - there's surely a difference from voting down and sending a bill back to HC with suggested amendments for reconsideration?

Of course. What will happen in practice is that the Commons will generally vote out the Lords amendments if they don't like them. The Lords is supposed to be a revising chamber. The revisions being suggested amendments.

I'm only 11 yrs old Fred ,

Gosh,

You are a big boy!

You may improve yet!

8-)

Anyway Fred as you seem to spend so much time and energy knocking the Cons , what did you do when Labour were in , you must have been over the moon when Blair decided to murder all those poor Iraqi's . Do these current problems pale into insignifigance compared to Blairs time .and do you sleep at night . A basic answer will do .

i'll speak up for fred for a change ...... he didn't care for blair either!
fred comes from a family of pretty hard-left utopians, and blair always fell well short of that

I condemned Blair for the stupidity of joining Bush in the invasion of Iraq and lack of aftermath planning.

But also remember IDS walking from no 10 with a smirk on his face and spring in his step after agreeing to the decision.

Condemned Blair and parts of his administration on policies.

Short sighted!

But less so than Osborne and Wavy Dave!

Fred I'm sure you would be a good person to spend a night in a pub with , quite entertaining . I bet your not a bit like your bb persona on here .

Worse!

Anybody on here playing MAM's Fantasy investor ?

fred is well known for nursing his 1/2 of mild/bitter (when he has to buy his own) for at least 3 hours while hogging a seat at the bar and being generally curmudgeonly ...... apparently the landlord wants to ban him, his entertainment value being minimal for the pain he causes :-)

Manuel,

Were you the miserable looking bastide sitting next to me at the bar cadging drinks and the bug ... off to have a pee when it was his round

Complaining he couldn't hold his water any longer.

I thought I recognised you!
