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.

It is not just clothes. It is personal memorabilia and jewellery of Thatcher. It would have been good if the V&A had bought it. Whether some people like her or not, she was a very popular PM and we were the envy of the world to have such a strong leader.

popular is questionable; strong undoubtedly

Manuel,

Giving you a chance for self-reflection!


But, there, there.

You will feel better later!

She was popular enough to keep getting elected.

She had guts we need her now !!!

Don't worry, Big Dave has it all in hand.

No Max she would have a lot more sorted than Dave , Merkel wouldn't be telling her what to do that's for sure .

as i said about fred a couple of posts back ..... plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.

She had other peoples' guts on her hands, not her own.

But, some like a brawn without brains.


"While it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Tommy, fall be'ind",
But it's "Please to walk in front, sir", when there's trouble in the wind,
There's trouble in the wind, my boys, there's trouble in the wind,
O it's "Please to walk in front, sir", when there's trouble in the wind."



Every time the UK goes into a military operation I would like to see half the cabinet and the eldest members of their families in the front line.

It is easy to sacrifice others for your needs and cleanse oneself with a "celebration", eulogy and orbitary and then forget.

Manuel,

I am not your Shaman or Mentor.

You couldn't afford me.

Try thinking a little for yourself rather than trotting out self-held "beliefs".

fred - you are such a sanctimonious and supercilious little maggot

on the one hand, you quote kipling and write
" eulogy and obituary and then forget"
but then tacitly support corbyn's refusal to honour the dead of all conflicts on remembrance sunday

I don't know why you answer him any more ,i think most have him squelched .

you're right jimmy, but most of the time i manage to just ignore him

Corbyn said,

"I'm not sure what there is to commemorate about the First World War."

He fails to realise that is not to commemorate but it is remembrance. I can't imagine anyone commemorates WWI.

just as an aside about WW1 dead ......

i recently received my old school mag in which was a list of all those who died in 1915 alone ......
there were 176 of them, ranging in age from 18 to 50 .....
overall, the school lost 700 in WW1
at the time, the school had a total "population" of perhaps 650

Hays,

Bullshit as usual.

Pop off to Tory PHQ and get the next mantra.

Manuel,

I see you have added "telepathy" to your unending talents.

I see Cameron is getting ready for the next U-turn on Syria and the EU.

-==-=-=

Osborne is laying down the rules for the EU kicking the UK out.
