Kate, I'm sorry you also feel I'm being sanctimonious. Surely it isn't boring to be polite, or to debate thoroughly and rigorously but still...
Well thanks at least for giving me "decent bloke" status. I have found the forum to be a fairly intolerant arena these last couple of years...
Oh Nick! Here you go again. Who did I attack and which forum members was I abusive to - either singly or collectively? Who did I say was...
I can't say I agree, and I would also remind you that the above post was a response to your own message to me in which you attacked me. But how...
Thank you, Mike. I had no idea until now that Barney - McGrew was hyphenated.
Yes, their job is to advise and to some extent educate, but certainly not to police our behaviour or militate against freedoms. Increasingly this...
If, in the eyes of forum wisdom, it's sanctimonious drivel to say Doctors and other arbiters of our behaviour might do better to stick to their...
I get that many forum members have such a pathological resentment towards Nigel Farage they would happily vilify him for choosing to inhale...

Wood burning stoves are absolutely massive polluters. I believe using one is like having a stream of HGVs continually running up by your street
Sorry but what has this to do with the EU?
Which is fair comment because you are talking from a position of experience. I reckon large numbers of people would enjoy it but have never tried
Indeed. It's battling against a lot of preconceptions, but I suspect a lot of people who have never tried it would enjoy it.
Haven't had an alcoholic drink for years. I'm intrigued by your allusion to a "lively" conversation. I don't know if this applies, but I hate it...
Well before you go, please accept full marks for the first ( AFAIK) use of the word, "escutcheon" in an internet forum. Also a "highly commended"...
I kind of forgotten. But the flavour will blow your head clean off :) I reckon every man over a certain age knows these lines pretty much off by...
I wouldn't bother, Peter. The only Magnum I pack is a £1.44 (Honeycomb flavour) one. Though IMHO it is the most powerful Ice Lolly in the world ;)
