General Chat

Sorry, Bob, presumed there, didn't I?
'One of mine cats' :-D :-D :-D
...don't know why it couldn't have been a spider though.....

:-D :-D :-D

Oh yes, and talking of presumptions, I've never had, or looked after a golden retriever - overweight or otherwise, as has been presumed (not by you Bob) on my behalf!!

'Fluency of interpretation is a strength'. (Copied from a magazine which will remain nameless because Rollo might get a tad upset with me reverting to old habits.) :-D

A large ginger cat bob. She had it 16 years, straight off the tit.

The tarantulas are now in charge of the government.
Fallon fatally bitten Bojo cowering at Chequers Grauniad to be blacklisted as fake news. It could only happen to the narzi party.

What the hell!

Have I missed something? :-S

Must every thread be turned into a political soap-box?

One track mind comes into my thoughts Allan :-D

Seems so. :-S

Someone seems to think the rest of us are politically illiterate/vote for the 'wrong' side/never hear the news. :-D :-D

It seems to some (one) that there is only one point of view on anything and everything that is correct, and that is his :-|

I wish a bl**dy redback spider would crawl out of his toilet and bite him on his bum :-P

Very childish I know, but very satisfying :-D :-D

:-D :-D :-D Allan,

:-D :-D :-D :-D

Presumably Allan does not vote in UK elections.
Why are losers so thin skinned?
gee up

No, Rollo, I don't vote in UK elections.

I don't consider myself a loser and I'm definitely not thin-skinned.

Years of dealing with people who have attitudes like yourself have enabled me to develop a skin as thick as an elephant's and unfortunately, as the years have advanced, a body to match, although I can still pick up grass with my trunk :-D

Rollo
Presumably, if Allan wanted to know what was going on in UK politics, he would use the internet!
I believe they have it - even over there!

I don't know why you're so thick skinned, Rollo, perhaps you could elucidate?

Maggie, the last few posts have been off topic, but I'd just say that as I left the UK 35 years ago, I have absolutely no right, nor indeed, no interest, in what is happening politically over there.

We are having some interesting political times over here which are an absolute circus, and just as enjoyable :-D :-D

No problem, Allan! :-D

So far, off topic and/or patronising posts:

Page 1 - I was informed I read drivel
Page 2 - I was 'helpfully' mansplained to - and called paranoid more than once
Page 3 - I was more or less accused of lying, Brexit was mentioned, and we were all 'enlightened' by half a page of totally irrelevant cutting & pasting from the Times!!

No need to explain yourself - you don't call others' names, and, as this isn't a political forum, party political waffle is inappropriate :-D :-D

Despite the entreaties of my many Oz rellies who are involved in business , health care, art and politics I have never been tempted. Not the least is that I do not have the thick skin and love of money above all else needed to prosper there.

Allan is quite right that Oz politics are a three ring circus.

Australian internet is mostly slow, always expensive and increasingly censored.

...but I'm sure they can look at newspapers, and unless asked for, I'm sure aren't interested in your spin on things.

I for one can read and watch Tv so don't need the s**t shoved down my throat all the time :-| :-| :-|. I have a lot of opinions but keep them to myself I don't spout on about them all the time

I've just read this thread from start to finish and haven't laughed so much for ages. It starts on one subject goes off on a tangent and then off again. It reminded me of what was it The two Ronnies maybe? :-D :-D

Allan amongst others very entertaining :-D
