real ale drinkers…..

Totally proves my point Pete.

Two perfectly normal reasonable chaps enjoying a pint of real ale. NOT two drunken slappers getting pissed out of their minds and puking in the gutter (or worse!!!).

Should the killers of Jamie Bulger have hung ?

Yes they should …… save for two rather major points. Capital punishment had long been abolished by the time they committed their crimes and secondly they were both below the age of 18 when the murder was committed.

So much as many would like to legally choke the life out of them, it…[Read more]

I share your feelings about women drinking pints of bitter Pete – they shouldn’t be allowed to drive sports cars either.

Actually, not so Bat. As the law stood at the time (not as it NOW stands) Bentley was illiterate and of low intelligence, almost borderline retarded. However, he was not suffering from epilepsy at the time of the alleged offence, that he was not a “feeble-minded person” under the Mental Deficiency Acts and that he was sane and fit to plead and…[Read more]

Women were better at keeping their “inner slapper” hidden when I was a teenager – that’s for sure.

One change is that, until recent times, it was an offence (and you were inevitably arrested for it) to be drunk in a public place. Usually this meant a night in the cells and up before the beak the following morning. A swift fine and a major…[Read more]

With great respect Bat, but Derek Bentley wasn’t “mentally handicapped” as we understand it, even by today’s standards. He was “simple” and was said to have a mental age of 11 – at the age of 19. Nevertheless he had a clear understanding of the difference between right and wrong, and knew that his actions in burgling the premises was utterly…[Read more]

I put it down to the ”beer culture”….. or rather the lack of it.

They’d simply pop down to their local, sup a pint or two with their friends and engage in pleasant…[Read more]

I’m sure that we can find you a nice comfortable henhouse to look after chickenman – one that comes with residence attached.

My life is already a “scene of sparkle and shining sunlight” thank you very much – all I need now is a little bit of snow and the occasional freezing gale …. just to provide a contrast you understand.

Oh and BTW before I…[Read more]

So …. to get back on topic (as the lunatic Bat suggested) – Sainsburys was also manic this afternoon. God only knows why. The car park had lengthy queues to get into it and there were few if any spaces left.

Luckily, I managed to get one of the last spaces reserved for the disabled – but it was a close run thing that’s for sure. At least I…[Read more]

I hope that the “Java sign” isn’t the one with two fingers !!!

Poor thing ….. must have been the cold that did it.

By an accident of birth I wasn’t born in a refugee camp, situated within the borders of what was once my parent’s home. If I had I really could see myself with the other children throwing…

God only knows where you got this fixation for eating turkey from Bat…… especially Tesco turkeys.

You’d be far better off…[Read more]

Don’t worry Bat – Pete knows the drill. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I watched a programme a few days ago about Alexandra Burke where the cameras followed her around shortly after she won the 2008 X-Factor.

It was so refreshing to see that she didn’t give us the “pop star diva” routine. So many of them are…[Read more]

Shouldn’t have thought so Bas. After all whenever did a fanatic allow common sense, reason, or a sense of humanity to get in the way of their bigoted rantings???

And this really is the bottom line isn’t it? IF the terrorists and their fellow travellers do finally summon up the courage to directly attack Israel, you can bet your bum that the…[Read more]

The people of Gaza elected Hamas to power in what was generally considered to be a free and fair election.

Yes Hamas activists were elected, but am I not right that Fatah politicians actually hold the balance of ‘legal’ power? Hamas control the so called police and thus exert actual control over Gaza, out of all proportion…[Read more]

911 is a very popular number at xmas in America.. why ?
because you can phone 911 (and i believe 999 now) without a SIM card so they receive the gift of a cell phone and they want to try it out… 911 it is
