again, one of THOSE days .... :-)

I'm still reeling from Hazel Blears being kept in as an MP!  I think the people will have the last word tho'. Meanwhile she is kept by the taxpayers she robbed.

so sack the leader of the opposition eh?. That would be fun!, especially as the current system was introduced by Thatcher.

 maybe it's time that Spain takes over the running of England?

at least the Gib problem would be solved in a day   :-)  :-)  

.......heavens above, I doubt Spain could run a raffle without there being a fiddle somewhere?

You know, Goodstich, I've never known how to reply to your posts as I have felt a little sorry that you have obviously been "Stitched up Good" somewhere along the line, much as I was with the Technologia and Atlas doughbags.  However, a line like that one shows that I shouldn't really feel sorry for you.  We've had almost 20 years and 3 prime ministers since she was there.  If you're still blaming her for the problems maybe you should get up and sort your own problems out, like a lot of us have, instead of posting and moaning about them.  Frankly, it is now getting a wee bit boring.

At last, a scandal we Brits can be proud of.  Nope, not those theiving politicos this time but :

BRUSSELS sprouts have been banned from a Plymouth-based warship with its captain describing them as the “devil’s vegetable”.

Now this really is a cause for debate.  I reckon that, apart from Marmite, nothing else divides our nation and pits brother against brother than the Brussels sprout.  You either love them or loathe them.  For some, like the warship captain, an evil tasting and smelly thing that does unmentionable things to the ermmm.. nether regions, shall we say.  To others, a traditional vegetable that is de rigeur at all feasts, especially Christmas.

So let's stop talking about the politicians (either home-grown or on the EU gravy train) and the scandals in the Spanish property market.  This is the debate to end all debates.

Love em?  Loathe em?  This could be the start of another Civil War.

Personally?  I suppose it all depends on the way the wind blows (sorry). 

At last..........this thread is finally starting to make sense.

Fresh - love 'em

Frozen - hate 'em.

They're just not the same if you don't top'n'tail them yourself and put that funny little X on the bottom.

I think it's important that we learn to appreciate & take pride in the Brussel Sprout, as it is, or at least soon will be, after all, our National Vegetable.
