Are they for real or just bears taking the michael. I refer to Hamish and Chucky.

If they are real, oxygen is not going to last. If they are taking the !!!!, then awesome display of internet shinnigans.

Either way hold on to your hats, it's going to be party time for us bears the next 12 months.

    Actually both the users you refer to tend to back up their arguments with sources and analysis which is more than can be said for some of the chancers who frequent this board. Hamish can be a bit OTT though, I'll give you that.

    Dunno about 'party time for us bears' either - if things go the way you lot think they will then most of you will be out of a job in 12 months.

    Its this sort of pointless unplesantness from either side, and without even merit of humour, that is truely dispiriting.

    re parties, as I get olderI like actual parties less and less, but every day has some joy in it. :)

    Gotta agree, when they make a statement they generally follow it up with evidence that supports it. An awful lot of posters don't, some even stop posting in that thread than spout the same stuff in another where they haven't been called.

    TBH I take it all with a pinch of salt anyway, both sides think they're right so the opinions are fairly useless. The facts behind them help the rest of us make decisions though, so I'm glad they post.

    No doubt a 'typical' Bears Party............where they all sit around on their hands and do s*d all, whilst everyone else get's on with their lives !!!!

    Apparently they was due to be a party after the next election, but its been cancelled already due to a lack of funds.

    Oi! A bit less of the name calling please, lets just tackle each post on the merits of the argument presented and not let the posters identities get in the way...
