welcome to the boards, Ambassador.

keep posting.

We had a good poet here called mizzy aka equaliser.

She went quite, but I still hope she’ll put hr poems here again.

A suspension of belief is needed, which is true of all of mercutio’s work.

It dopesn’t have the suspense of Line of Duty.

It relies partly on Budd being a hunk – the next Bond, some say.

I’m looking forward to episode 6 . I still think the Home Sec will somehow reappear. We never actually saw her die, and Mercutio loves the surprises. He’s…[Read more]

You also have to take care when you’re dealing with US employment stats.

They count employment and unemployment differently over there than we do in the UK.

In the US, after a certain period of unemployment, you fall off the employment count. It’s held that you are not looking for work. In fact, it could be for any number of reasons, the obvious…[Read more]

And there was lil ol me thinking the cartoon was funny, appealing to everyone.

Who was the US Professor, and on which radio show?

It took them only 3 months to impeach Clinton, from the initial vote to impeach through to the final vote – December, 1998 to February, 1999.

It was entirely political, based on dislike of Clinton. It was thrown…[Read more]

That site is quite old.

Everybody knows that jc has always had a nasty side to it. The extremely loose monitoring has been replace by a tighter monitoring system, though you may still consider it too loose.

Some of us continually reconsider whether we want to continue posting here.

If you think it’s that bad, why continue posting that it’s…[Read more]

It is intentional, rude boy.

That is what he’s doing. He knows he’s doing it.

Either because he has an adolescent brain, or because he’s deliberately trying to kill the boards.

But that is his intention.

Best to ignore him.

what political dig was that?

Well, no, impeachment doesn’t take years.

Pretty soon, they’ll have enough material on Trump to launch an impeachment pretty quickly, and it could be done within a short period of time.

But it won’t be, because the political will isn’t there. The Democrats want to, but they need a majority in the Senate to do it – a big majority(two thirds).…[Read more]

I’m glad that Linda, an ardent Trumpeteer, can see the funny side of this.

Trump can make policy from “the devil’s workhop” (his bedroom) on tweet during “the witching hour” between 3am and 8am all he likes.

He ain’t going to be successfully impeached.

I remember these, dd.

xxxxx (I got in trouble with you once for not putting kisses. I thought to myself, this is not a woman you mess with, so xxxx lol)

Ms. M,

it’s hard to remember when people could be light-hearted in their digs at each other. But it did happen once – sometimes. Always had a nasty element to it, though, did jc :negative:…[Read more]

That’s a good insight, Sophie.

I am trying to keep away from the Alfie discussion,

but in general the point about masks is well taken.

Every social network site I’ve been on gives anonymity to everybody, and many of the men assume their fantasy character.

My self-image, the man I feel I really am inside, and the man i feel that everybody sees…[Read more]

Just googled it.

Devoke Water is actually a hop, skip and jump from where I grew up *blushes

*makes a note of a new place to visit next time I go to see my family.

West Cumbria is a strange area.

So whereabouts is this?

Which village is it near?

The Lakes is a big place, and I grew up on its edges. As a family, we wnt there a lot, but I’ve not heard of this?

I know, I should google it.

I thought Yorkshire had he best chipper in the country?

Bridlington, I think.

Or maybe that’s just Yorkshire boasting. They have to have the best of everything lol

*hides

My favourite place – I think – is Holy island and its surrounds.

I used to visit there a lot, but now it’s so far away!!!

The air was really clean, and there was a real sense of isolation. A smallish village, some cafes, a hostel, a castle and Lindisfarne, the 7th century Church.

The island is cut off from the mainland, connected by a narrow…[Read more]

I’m glad if Mizzy has found happiness with some guy.
