Probably not with three question marks.

No, (f), it’s spelt ewe.

Indeed. Shame on me!

Non EU investment flooded in…

You do have to wonder how much of that investment would have flooded in had Ireland not been part of the European Community, though. It strikes me as hubris to seek to minimise its effects.

Still, the result is in. I hope there might be a sense developing within Europe that…[Read more]

You must live in the frozen wastes of the north. My pumpkins have been out for weeks. Romping away, they are.

Unless your name is John, an unusual moniker for a chapette, it’s still plagiarism. Someone else’s work presented as your own. An old trick of yours and, if my ‘dodgy’ recall is correct, the reason you first started directing your spite my way. Didn’t like being found out, did you? Still, your Munchausen syndrome isn’t really your fault. It’s not…[Read more]

I think your delusions might be kicking in again, Esme, old girl. You’re right, of course, this is a debate about the Lisbon Treaty, which makes your astonishing, off-topic, spiteful attack all the more silly. I see the plagiarism is still a favourite tictac, though the full article seems to have a different slant to your edited, unaccredited highlights.

Ah, Pikey. I’m glad to see that being asked to resign from one site and chastised on another for maliciously stalking my good self – even, in the light of my illness, wishing me dead, hasn’t made you bitter and vengeful, to the extent of posting opinions diametrically opposed to my own, just for the spite of it.

How interesting.…[Read more]

I have no doubt.

However, Googling the views of obscure anarchist groups that vaguely reinforce your own ill thought out, knee jerk rants is a bit weak – especially from a self-proclaimed Scottish Nationalist. Nationalism and Makhnovist anarchism? Hilarity ensued.

Now, the unelected…[Read more]

Ireland and the UK joined at exactly the same time.

I think the whole thing has been one of the most marvellous projects ever conceived. I’ll tell you what the proles of Europe should be appreciative of – not getting sent off to butcher each other senselessly every generation or so in each others’ countries. There’s barely been a hint of bother…[Read more]

He’s no Wordsworth, is he?

It’s unfortunate that people are asked to be sensible when they are least equipped to be. That is, when they are drunk. A tragic accident.

Over acting?

I’d say that seething complicity is a fairly recent thing. Our grandparents’ general strike was very nearly a revolution and certainly made the government take notice. Before them, our people had fought tooth and nail to get every right that we indifferently squander. Wat Tyler was English. Mrs Pankhurst was English. The Tolpuddle Martyrs were…[Read more]

There is always that temptation for any government, I’d agree. It’s almost a force of nature, the natural order of things. It certainly wasn’t the Tory’s only shot at it, either. Remember the farce of noctovisual companies forced to use actors’ voices to dub over Irish politicians words? From around the world we could mention the cruel…[Read more]

You don’t think internment was a dilution of liberty?

Still, at least it was only a chav. You’ve got to look at the bright side. Also, paralysed from the neck down, he shouldn’t be reproducing. A welcome dose of chlorine in the gene pool.

Fascinating stuff. I always think there’s too much of a tendency to leap to an extra terrestrial hypothesis when considering these matters. For instance, might it not be just the explanation that occurs to the modern mind where a medieval mind might have seen fairies?

It may be that we simply don’t have the faculties to understand the phenomena…[Read more]

That’s interesting. I always thought it was cumulative mercury poisoning that did the noggin damage in the hatting game.

Why don’t you start us off? :wink:

Hallo, Runway. You know I’ve always felt it would be a proper pleasure to get you going.

The point is, though, I think, that of course there are things that shouldn’t be joked about. Otherwise we should relegate ourselves to giggling imbeciles. Where’s the nobility in that?…[Read more]
