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.

That was a pathetic answer

Aldo,

Your prime reason for posting seems to be "mainly just to argue" rather then to have an intelligent discussion with , which I have no interest in.

Intelligent discussion and Fred. Should those words be used together in the same sentence?

The Hairy one has spoken.

First it was Fred now we have his brother Stan ....... which one is the fat one ?

My point made, thank you.

Ald,

You don't have to be like the other boys and girls in your school yard.

Imitation is the poorest form of flattery.

Stan

If you comment was directed at me I look forward to your apology. You might want to re-read all the areas where I have challenged fred' posts. I have never been abusive towards fred (in fact you may not believe this but it does happen in the other direction) but can't stand by and let him feely post his thoughts without challenge. Funnily enough, thoughts he can never justify with fact.

but can't stand by and let him feely post his thoughts without challenge.

Stan can he is to busy .

Raw,

Which words in my recent postings didn't you understand

Try re-reading them, and then applying a little thought to the overall content of them.

It is interesting and surprising to me, to watch the press and media and see that it is already being critical and damning of this coalition misgovernment.

In many ways similar to the dying days of previous government.

But, I can see it being justified, as the economic principles being applied by the coalition is equivalent to Biscuit Tin accountancy and likely to prolong any recovery period.

You always tell me to try re-reading your posts fred. I bow to your greater intellectual capacity. Then again, why don't you post in a clear, concise manner to save me the trouble.

Raw,

It seems that I gave you more credit than you maybe due.

I fear you are starting to become abusive, careful, your buddy Stan may want words with you.

Stan - you should direct you argument withouth abuse point at your mate friend as well. He is one of the first to resort to abuse although usually a bit more subtle than some.

Raw

Just ignore him like a lot of other's do

Thanks aldwickk. Just in a bit of a playful mood today otherwise I would.

Just watched Cameron putting forward his clear policies on TV.

Must try his optician.

Is he going to be another, "here today, gone tomorrow minister"?

Hi Stan,

I fully agree that there is no place for abuse on these threads. As to Fred, I and many others have attempted many times to have a frank and open discussion with him.
The reason why a few of us no longer bother, is as some have already stated, many of his replies were totally unconnected with the discussion/view that was being discussed. He often would and still does put points in argument that did not bare any relation to what others had stated.
Sometimes it was as if say, the discussion was on which political party had the best policy on the current financial situation. If someone stated that in their view it was the Conservatives, his argument in reply would be something along the lines of, but wasn't it Maggie Thatcher who sold off all the council houses. A completely unrelated response.
OK probably not quite as blatantly obscure as the Conservatives/Maggie example, but you get the point.
I did for a while enjoy discussing politics and other matter with him, but you can not discus any issue with someone who goes so obscurely off track.
I must add, that I do not disagree with all his views, most of them yes, but not all.

Greek.

You must be reforming.

I will continue to help you to make the appropriate further changes.

Have a nice evening.
