Ironically chie, the "Hob-nobbing" you hate is usually when they sort out the issues you're sick of hearing about.
Oh, and insofar as I can't tell whether you're kidding about swine flu in your post there, you are very much like a daily mail reader. It's often hard to tell if they're serious too.
Are the Tories finished before they start?
Well they could sort it out over the phone. Imagine how many tons of carbon that would save.Sput wrote:Ironically chie, the "Hob-nobbing" you hate is usually when they sort out the issues you're sick of hearing about.

As for swine flu, it's not beyond the realms of possibility.
'Daily Mail Reader' has become a slur on someone's character and I think people really need to start to wind their necks in with it. It's like a joke that's been told so many times it's just not funny any more.
I can't remember exactly, but I'm pretty sure the world kept turning in the past when "world leaders" didn't used to have these almost monthly gatherings? But perhaps I'm completely wrong and the press simply didn't report these things as much as they do now. 

you do not know what my view of the world is. you see, when you reach puberty, you will find you no longer have the urge to ram your politics [or ill thought out ramblings in this case] down other people's throats.Chie wrote:just because they don't agree with your fluffy idealistic (and superficial) view of the world is SO 2005.
by all means have a reasoned debate, as that can be interesting. but diatribes are inevitably a waste of key strokes.
It would only be a waste of keystrokes if nobody read it, so that rather begs the question: why on earth do you carry on reading if you don't like it??tvmercia wrote:you do not know what my view of the world is. you see, when you reach puberty, you will find you no longer have the urge to ram your politics [or ill thought out ramblings in this case] down other people's throats.

I've never tried to ram my politics down anybody's throat, tvmercia. People can support whatever political side they like and it doesn't make any difference to me whatsoever. I judge people on their actions, you see - not their thoughts.
Daily Mail Reader hasn't become a slur, it has always been a slur. The people who think that the Daily Mail represents an accurate view of the world are usually arrogant, rude, dismissive of others, backward looking, rose-tinted, in denial, borderline homophobic, xenophobic and sexually frustrated.Chie wrote: 'Daily Mail Reader' has become a slur on someone's character and I think people really need to start to wind their necks in with it.

You know, not that I like to generalise or anything....unlike the Daily Mail.
