Happy birthday PK. Hope you have a lovely day. X

yahyah

Thanks Refitman, but it was a bagpipe video I tried to post - but trombones drone a bit too !

yahyah

But does it mean a cult made up of whining Corbyn zealots, or anti-Corbyn whining by people who are less than enamoured by his performance ?

edited - confused myself

yahyah

We might need Por Favor to adjudicate on 'anti corbyn cult whine' to clarify its meaning :lol: Meanwhile, to save us having to drone on incessantly, here's some help from the experts.

Well, if us whiners (with agendas or without) are wrong, and it turns out that Corbyn is a master tactician, I'm sure we'll be more than happy to eat humble pie. I'll bake a vegetarian version.

yahyah

@Por Favor.

Much better thanks. Have been able to walk today.

Spring has sprung while we've been 'whining' about Article 50.
Catkins, hellebores, banks of snowdrops, daffodils in bud.
Even some lambs about. One peered down at us from the top of a grassy 12th century motte and bleated hello.

AngryAsWell@ You mentioned you were thinking of doing an OU course. Did you know about Yale University's free online courses ?

Did the umpire tell the bees to buzz off ?

AngryAsWell@ This resonates with the Trump aide/news conference link you posted. In this case it wasn't just that the reporter was told to 'get out of my country', he was imprisoned and then kicked out. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/02/04/revealed-hero-telegraph-reporter-first-kicked-nazi-ger...

Clarke probably isn't wrong.
This is from YouGov in 2015.

Morning HA. You like cryptic crosswords I believe. Have you seen the GCHQ Quiz Book ? It's brilliant, gets the mind working overtime. Anyone who loves the sort of questions on Only Connect will enjoy it. I solved one that our Cambridge Maths and Statistics Ph.d friend couldn't. He was not a happy bu...

Owen Jones uses the c word about some of Corbyn's supporters. ''looks cult-like''. Good job he didn't post that on FTN before the great exodus. He'd have got his ears soundly boxed for that and likely some abuse too. :lol: He'd back a younger leader, says he would find it difficult to vote for Corby...

No shortage of lettuces when I went shopping earlier. No lack of curved bananas either. I popped into the Principality building society to ask if they had any better interest rates <laughs hysterically> on any of their savings accounts or bonds. The young man said sadly not. He then asked if I had c...

Latest from YouGov in hindsight do you think Britain was right or wrong to vote leave the EU ? All respondents 45% right [-1] 42% wrong Women 41% right 46% wrong Men 50% right 38% wrong Kippers 94% right 3% wrong Cons 64% right 28% wrong Labour 29% right 64% wrong Lib Dems 16% right 78% wrong

RHETORIC evidence citation spin etc I like to be allowed to think without proving that someone else has already thought it, and that if they haven't then I am obliged to assume my thinking is automatically invalid.

Though that was always a far smaller group than some now like to imply.

what evidence backs that up ?

Thanks Paul.

But I'm not bitter.

I hope someone's keeping a list of reasons to Brexit. 1. I went to the supermarket and the bananas were straight. 2. The EU were nasty to Greece, vote Leave to punish them and give Merkel a headache. 3. Immigration. Too many foreigners. Not the right kind of foreigners. I'm not racist but I don't li...

Have just watched NonOxCol's link. Where are all these straight bananas ? Seriously. Where are they ? All the bananas I buy bend up at least one end if not both ends. There are bunches of the little devils that look like a gorilla's hand, fingers curled up. Last year I heard a middle class woman on ...

At least bananas are edible. Coal scuttle and custard or top of the milk ?

Morning. Thanks to SH for providing the background to yet another big Lib Dem gain, this time in Rotherham. The fact that the outgoing Labour man was convicted of sexual assault obviously didn't help them keep the seat. But it won't stop the Lib Dems crowing. Some comfort in seeing Ukip down 16%. Th...

Channel 4 [or was it Sky News ?] showed a vox pop from Stoke. Two women expressed support for what Trump was doing.

Hi Hanny ! Welcome.

Have just caught up with some of last night's thread and saw your post. Much appreciated to see you brave a response to what you have seen.

Hope you like cakes ! Look forward to hearing more from you.

Thanks Stephen. 22% sounds a lot, only actually two MPs

Haven't had time to read last night, was it full throated and frank ? Can't help thinking Brexit is like my fall on the pavement.

Yes, if the bill is passed then Article 50 can be triggered. That's more than a debate.
Can't help wondering if some of the language is deliberate obfuscation.
