that’s good, Mrs T.

You admitted to being wrong, while explaining your anger. I like that.

A lot of people will never admit that they’re wrong. Some turn any criticism into personal smears
against the critic.

Grown-up argument is the most productive

I want to hear about it. His platform is a case for murder, but nobody bar murderers will be impressed. When the judge tried to stop him speaking, both prosecution and defence insisted (rightly) that he be allowed his say. He is now being torn apart in his beliefs by a good prosecution.

But the important thing is that he killed 77 people, and he…[Read more]

I had to laugh sardonically when he said he had killed them all, would it all again, and asked to be released please (pretty please)!!
yeah..right

Trials have to take place, even for swine. And they are rightly reported, especially in a case of public interest like this. And I don’t think he is doing anything which doesn’t repel anybody but…[Read more]

well, we all -men and women – have to go through the furies of Hell from time to time; some times worse than others.

the clue is how you survive, if you survive

a good question, Mrs T.

Also a question to be asked of a lot of people here

Gill’s left us now for a better home
she made us laugh and made us groan

so, God, we hope you give her rest
Gill’s one of ours, she was the best
or nearly the best
or maybe some don’t want her sent back
but some do
thank you

Mr Sceptical

RIP Gill

Hope not RIP Mr Sceptical

you’re right, of course, Words..a lot of it is made up for political reasons..but not all…

if you want to look at racism in language..I once lived in Bristol, where there are streets such as Whiteladies Road and Blackboy Hill in the Clifton area……they are historic reminders that the city’s wealth was once based on slavers profits…part of…[Read more]

I’m thinking of setting up a company to correct all these racist, sexist, ageist, disablist deviations.

Working on ‘Baa baa respect sheep’, but so far it doesn’t scan.

Racism is a horrible problem, and so is racist language; but it strikes me that PC is a travesty of the fight against it; an invention of local government and educational…[Read more]

puke on their shoes and smile to show that you love them despite all??

I liked the farcical stories in which a lot of people were lampooned.

They could be just as acerbic as this one, but make you laugh.

I don’t object to Joker getting it in the neck

from one of the nice guys *nice, nice smile

I never know how much is fact and how much satire..or both..but when you’re away it’s nice to know coathanger is keeping his/her eyes open

*hiding from coathanger’s eyes

like chameleon with Kenty, he wanted to be a Friend..

but she’s daid to him

and from a later era…

George Dubya Bush was driving round the plains of Kansas, showing other greats from the past, Bill Clinton and Maggie Thatcher, how wonderful the US of A was, when a tornado, a twister, took hold of the car and whisked it up into the sky.

As the dazed occupants got out, they were confronted by Meryl Streep dressed as the…[Read more]

now that is genuinely sad..

but time to move forward, remember what was lovely, remember what hurt, but move forward.

fragments of a famous poem to say bye bye to St Val Doonican and prepare for Krapp’s Last Tape

And down by the brimming river
I heard a lover sing
Under an arch of the railway:
“Love has no ending

I’ll love you, dear, I’ll love you,
Till China and Africa meet,
And the river jumps over the mountain
And the salmon sing in the street

I’ll love you…[Read more]

well, ain’t we all different in our sense of humour??

One from the Troubles –

An IRA man turns up the Pearly Gates.

St Peter looks at him in horror. “I’m very sorry, but we will not allow terrorists in here!”

The IRA man looks suprised – “oh no, you’ve got me wrong. I’m not trying to get in. I’m just giving the message that everyone has five…[Read more]

you just provided it….

well, I like a good laugh..

and I know a lot of good jokes….even ones making fun of the English, Welsh etc

and I’ve heard a few pretty bad jokes in my time, too…

including the above

that’s a clever poet..

bye bye Dylan Thomas, Robbie Burns, Ted Hughes etc etc etc

If they want to leave, let them leave, but imho we’d be the poorer if they did

oh no, Kenty, that was my mate.

He is really hunky, looks like a stronger version of Matt Damon, you must rmeember him.

He did text Panda, but he didn’t get a reply. God, he was heartbroken, he’d heard such good things about her from you. I had to console him this morning, tell him that there are other fish in the sea, even if not the panda he’d…[Read more]
