More interested in flying half way round the world to tick off the sites and gain points than trundle 200 miles awy from home turf."If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....

Ah well I think your types always need a royal to give you something to suck up to!;)GeorgeHowell wrote: »And the royal family -- that is a huge tourist draw. One of the most mind-bogglingly stupid of all the ideas that the lefties promote (and it is a very competitive field indeed) is to do away with the monarchy.0 -

I think that's a very perceptive post. I often end up in conversations with Australians where I send up saying, effectively, "You don't know you're born" and it was the same when I lived in France and the UK.0 -

You are now on Ignore -- you are a whining, sniping, left wing troll that gets on my nerves.No-one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions. He had money as well.
The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money.

I suspect it's more a reflection of some posters on this board getting bored of Labour cheerleaders.
Politics is good IMHO, partisan party politics is just dull.
Labour yay.
No, Conservatives yay.
No Lib Dems yay.
Dull, dull, dull.
It's just an internet forum, why put up with having to read garbage from individuals whose clear aim is simply to wind up annoy ? I've got five of them on Ignore now -- three loony left, one loony right, and one just loony. Makes things substantially better -- no doubt they still use my name in vain but as a rule I don't see it !No-one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions. He had money as well.

Fair enough but I don't start it. I'm just reacting to his claptrap. I mean he does say some pretty provocative things about people like me ......who have left of centre views and then cries foul and puts you on ignore when you respond in kind!I suspect it's more a reflection of some posters on this board getting bored of Labour cheerleaders.
