  1. I don't know about Mohawk but Tonto can mean 'silly, stupid or moron' in Spanish...
  2. Don't you think they are a bit old to be on the streets Ben?
  3. The unions were a long way from being innocent bystanders. You may have seen nothing amiss in your working environment, I personally travelled the length and breadth of the land and saw plenty. At that time I had dealings with every car manufacturer (except Aston and Morgan) and saw the chaos Red Robbo and the unions caused. Same with the docks. It's no surprise to me Liverpool and London docks lost out to Southampton and Felixstowe. The were the most militant, idle swines I've ever had the misfortune to deal with!. I don't claim unions were totally to blame but they were a major part of
  4. It's spurious argument though. The referendum did not support a 'no deal' if I remember correctly, and I do, there was no mention of deals of any kind on the ballot paper. It was leave or stay, period. What was discussed were lies, lies and damn lies from both camps. What's beginning to irk me more and more is the fact that if Johnson came to parliament tomorrow and said 'OK chaps we've got a deal'. There would be howls of protest that's 'it's not a good deal, we've been sold down the river. we need a referendum on the details, we can't agree to that we can do better'...and all th
  5. So basically what we're saying is it's Corbyn holding up the exit not Johnson. Corbyn seems to be out to sabotage Johnson regardless of what the people want (and the majority want out as we keep being reminded) and he's prepared to play politics whatever the cost. The Guardian at conference reports a 'labour spokesman' as saying 'this can only be settled by an election' The sub text to that must be 'but not just yet cos we'll lose'... You think Corbyn is gaining? I seriously think his U turns, lack of leadership and prevarication have done him a great deal of harm. There is I'm
  6. I do acknowledge that Col and have said so several times but simple common sense tells me raising taxes is just hammering another nail in the coffin.
  7. I have just driven through France, Holland, Belgium, Germany and Austria on my way to Hungary, Slovenia and Czech Republic. Until the Austria/Hungary border the only way to tell which country I was travelling through was the language on the road signs, no borders at all.
  8. Not doing too well at the moment. The Austrian policeman I met at the border doesn't like Brits, he especially doesn't like them trying to break the land speed record down his motorway. Then a Hungarian policeman joined in the fun saying I need a 'Vignette dokument fur deine auto.' Why a Hungarian at the Austrian border is speaking to an Englishman in German I have no idea. Perhaps I should fall back on ye olde Englishman abroad custom and shout... And I thought the EU meant no borders, apparently someone forgot to tell the Austrians...
  9. Pay some to do it for you. They do it quicker and better than you will ever do it.
  10. It is an indisputable and universally recognized fact that the male of the species incapable of telling a lie...
  11. Though I'm over the hills and far away I managed to catch Comrade Corbyn on the BBC giving another masterclass on obfuscation and how not to answer a question. How do politicians sleep at night?
  12. That makes five of us will be there to tell RR where he's going wrong and how it should be done! Grass cutting by committee, what can possibly go wrong?
  13. Trogg you have my admiration for keeping on keeping on as you do. One point though. you are almost bionic now so next time round ask them to fit you with a throttle so you can keep up! Simples
  14. I've been attacked and bitten twice by Alsations, one of them really, really, regretted it... Glad the little one wasn't traumatised too much... can we see the bruises Lizzie?
  15. Well it won't me it wus alright when I left it so there...
  16. It does Margie, whether you like or dislike him or his politics what he is saying simply cannot be denied. We can all sit round eating our bent bananas and waving our English flags as we sink slowly into the mire - but at least we will have our values to fall back on.
  17. I'm sure we all hope for a positive outcome Col...
  18. I grant there is a somewhat 'yobbishiness' perception about those who fly it but it changes nothing about their right to do so. Unless it's when England are playing it is to a great extent 'in yer face' when you see it draped out bedroom windows ect.
  19. Sadly Col you can't object to YL using the flag of St George. He is English and as such the flag is as much his as it is ours. The rest is just a difference of opinion.
  20. Matter of opinion RR, matter of opinion.. and trying to keep this to two lines. Can you define 'British Values'for me please...
  21. I think we should be clear, It is by choice they do no not sit, there are no obstacles to them taking their places. A Sinn Fein MP (Paul Maskey) claims they are an abstentionist party and were voted in on the understanding they would take no part in the Westminster parliament.
  22. Why has no one noticed that the man the bike has only one leg ? ....
