Shexy funky housey, baby:

You asked for an example of a scenario which doesn't exist and never has done, didn't you? You're now attempting to take no one giving you an example as some sort of victory. I did want a discussion as it happens. Or an answer anyway. You just rolled out your list of cliches, none of which actually addressed what I asked. And then you try and get personal, because you're rattled. You're not even very good at that.

You always resort to this sort of thing when you can't answer a straightforward question.

The difference between a real world scenario and an imaginary one lost on no one but you.

That didn't answer my question. No surprise there.

2 million more jobs, cuts and austerity well in place yet public borrowing continues to increase in monetary terms and as a %-age of GDP. Something doesn't add up.

Bit daft to just argue income tax should be low irrespective of the consequences. Almost as daft as arguing the economy is successful and the cuts and austerity are working at the same time as the gross national debt spiraling out of control and at level which is almost double what it was when Labour were last in power. You heavily criticised Labour for overspending on public services yet you're not doing the same to a government which has actually borrowed (and is continue to borrow) much more whilst at the same time using some of that money to fund tax cuts. Why the approval of this short-termism from this government?

Following 'advice'. And not only that but can the public buy the shares at this low price? You know, the people who technically bought them anyway. Oh no. They were just for the City on this occasion.

Great show. I mean film.

I didn't watch that but who the fuck was in it if he won? Ghenghis Khan, Stalin, Hitler and Essembee?

If, as I presume is the case, you think the cuts and the austerity measures are necessary, why do you think income tax cuts for everyone are a good idea and how does those two competing views marry up?

Reminded me of being out on the piss once and about 3 or 4 of us ending up back at some lasses house. She had (what would've been VHS copies of) Joe Pasquale and Jim Davidson stand-up gigs. Amongst others. Probably included Hale and Pace. Joe Pasquale man :lol:

Can't actually remember any of that. The one with the 'tache just pulled 'funny' faces is all I seem to recall.

There's that serious debate this thread was missing.

She's not really. She just totally irrelevant and being made out to be something she isn't, i.e. a 'national treasure'.

Canny five-a-side team.

I think you need to be a bit more honest with yourself.

New undercrackers for a new regime?

Think she had a relative (her Dad or uncle) who was a mackem fan and took her as a nipper. I think I read it in some Guardian thing about earliest football memories or something like that. It was sketchy on detail and read like an unconvincing attempt to show she'd been into football prior to the mid-90s.

Bernard Manning?

I was hoping it would be Simon 'Bassline' Smith.

We're preparing the preparation for a bid.

Fucking sick of hearing about her like. What a pile of sycophantic bollocks. Don't think I've ever met anyone who liked her.
