which is precisely why the polling has to be sophisticated, and why the variations of the social groups need to be accounted.

Believe it or not, you exist in the sampling, or the sampling isn’t good enough. most pollster have got the results wrong because the sampling isn’t good enough.

Curtice’s sampling is more sophisticated – I believe.

Actually, I’m getting quite sick of chasing these links up.

You gave a series of links on economic statistics a while ago which I patiently read, using up time I can’t get back, to find that they were lazy googling on your part which disproved your own case.

Now, you googled Euro fat cats, and you came up with this.

Read it again! Read it…[Read more]

I don’t agree with your collapse of age into socio-economic group. A lot of social factors came into play.

But, to me, I don’t think it’s important enough at this point to go into a discussion of it. There’s only so much that can be discussed.

The point of the last few posts is that polls have not been accurate, and this has been used to pour…[Read more]

Actually, I’ve known pollsters, and they attempt a scientific method of polling. That’s why there’s always a warning of a percentage divergence.

They don’t interview you or the woman sitting drinking coffee next to you. That wouldn’t be scientific. They conduct samples based on social data, and they have always tended to be accurate.

Until…[Read more]

I don’t lie, and if calling me a liar isn’t personal abuse I don’t know what is. Whenever I came in, I looked at this thread, noted from the logos that you were both posting again, and just didn’t bother reading. It really wasn’t worth the bother, and you can tell by my lack of answers. I still haven’t read them. I just assume that they’re…[Read more]

Right, I have an appointment with Planet Earth, so gone for the moment.

You really can’t read, can you?

Blinded by your own anger and prejudice

I can’t keep repeating myself as you try to nitpick and read oddities into words I use.

Any fool can do that, claiming that they are normal while they’re doing it.

Not all normal people are football fans.

Some are.

Blatter scale is still misleading and silly.

No wonder an increasing number of people think they’ve been conned by the brexifanatics

Is there something wrong with you?

So angry with me for some reason known only to you that you can’t read rationally??

I said

and then explained –

duh!

If you still don’t follow, then you really are too disturbed to read properly and I ain’t explaining again.

You really do like to nitpick.

Sorry, I was giving him a more rational approach than he actually had.

He didn’t say billions. He said a blatter scale, whihc is actually sillier.

His opinions don’t seem to me to be trustworthy because he’s a man who talks in terms of a blatter scale rather than saying anything specific.

Or are you going to…[Read more]

Actually, I stopped reading most of the stuff you and gerry wrote about this a while ago now. It struck me as too personal.

I’ve explained what I meant a while ago, but you obviously paid no attention to it.

I was addressing Drac.

Rose, that’s what Jane said.

I was in just chat for a long time, a while ago now, but I find that quite worrying.

Why did they resign, and what was Martin’s response?

I really, really don’t have the slightest opinion of what you’re talking about.

I meant that his opinion doesn’t strike me as sensible.

How are fat eurocrats creaming off billions from our country??

Bankers have creamed off billions? Yes.

But who are the fat eurocrats, and how do they cream off billions??

Sounds good…[Read more]

now why does that not surprise me?

I answered it by pointing out that rape is a common sense definition, not just a statutory question. If you are penetrated with an instrument, then by statutory law it isn’t rape but a sexual assault (apparently).

As jc isn’t a court of law, then the common sense definition does for me and most people.

To me, this is a reasoned argument, though not one I agree with at all. I’ve been meaning to answer it for some time, but somehow got waylaid.

It’s easy to answer, and at the same time very difficult, so let me start by saying that

your argument is on the same level as paige’s and mine. There’s nothing scientific about any of them. They’re to…[Read more]

and there was me thinking transvestites are just men who want to dress in women’s clothing, many of them thinking that they are women trapped in a man’s body.

And there was me thinking that transvestites and transsexuals are all seen as trans-gendered.

Oh well, none of them are posting here, though there does seem to be an expertise in…[Read more]

Now that smell always put me off, Rose.

But I think that for kids of the past 40 years, it’s been the colours and smell of a Macdonald’s fast-food shithouse which has been the main trap. They really do get very excited over going to Ronnald’s Place.

The comment about the long-haired guy is too cryptic for me, but

it’s not the right to have an opinion that I’m denying.

Just the sense of the opinion, though it doesn’t surprise me.

European fatcats creaming off billions off poor us?

Jeez!

Has he been denied a European tv show or something?

That’s a nice post, Sophia, and a good thread.

Smells are very important to all of us as children.

I cna’t think of anything as good as the smells of your childhood, but I loved the smell of candy floss at the fair.

The sounds and laughter of the fairground were magic to me when i was a kid. There always seemed to be the promise of something…[Read more]

Well, if good ol’ trustworthy and reliable Chris Tarrant is saying so…

then perhaps it’s time to have another think about whether we should be leaving!

Alas, looks like we’re out on 29th March, good or bad.

If no deal, it’s not going to be all that good.

If with may’s deal (and there is certainly a good chance of that) thene xpect a…[Read more]
