Thnks for that EDOldie.

However I'm going to have have to balk at Joseph Heller's diagnosis on the grounds that the book was good, the film was shit and I hated Good As Gold.

I demand a second opinion from John Kennedy Toole.


Oh. Yes, all right then, his estate.

When I get my hands on the germ spreader I WILL strangle 'em. After I've fully recovered from this man type flu thing. AND if old ppl or pregnant women think I'm going to give up my seat for them on the bus this morn just try it! My pain is too much I tell ya! :-(

Well I rather not give the name, but it was a good one. Approved it was.

Best of luck cdonline, I have been feeling the effects of my smoking recently, usually after heavy weekends. I know I should stop, I know it's a stupid habit, but I just don't really want to :-S


Today I just feel very Fridayish, meaning I'm sat at work, watching the clock...

It will be hard to say goodbye to the glamour of lighting up. The kids need role models like us, counteracting the prissy overbearing non smokers.


If I do give up and have any cigarettes left, I will, of course, be charitable and hand them out to the kiddies in the park. Pay it forward.

    • To be fair to Sue, she doesn't have to explain or justify why she supports or wants to vote for any party. That is the same for everyone. We are free to decide which party best reflects what we think is important to us. Discussing the stances/ policies of parties, in a general discussion, can be done without targetting anyone commenting here. Politics is just a point of view at the end of the day.  Different things are important to different people, often for very valid reasons. Let's be respectful of that.  My opinion is that if say the Labour Party wants to understand why it is losing supporters to the Greens, it needs to listen to and understand the reasons why. That theme has been explored in this thread a little through the discussion around councillor McAsh. The same is true of the Tories losing support to Reform and the Libdems. Let's not also assume that every member of every party is completely on board with every policy of the leadership of that party either. You only have to look at how backbenchers have forced u-turns from Starmer's cabinet on things like Welfare Reform and WFA to see that. 
    • As a compromise I'd be prepared to trial the reintroduction of dog licensing. The annual licence fee would be the same as road tax for Range Rover (same carbon emissions as a dog) and would require owners to pass a responsible dog ownership exam, the dogs would need to pass training and a behaviour exam and their DNA would need to be kept on record to identify the owners who leave dog shit all over the pavements, so that they can be jailed.  
    • Yeah  Ban people, that will solve all the planets environmental issues over night  Leave the dogs as they aren't the problem, its normally bad ownership and management that leads to badly behaved dogs. Spartacus  Ps Cat Rule 
    • Some people are all of the above. Would happily ban them, or send them to training school
