Cripes! When I did the ironing it used to take well over an hour doing the black satin basque with the straps and all the polished buttons and whatnot. It had to be perfect or else. Needless to say it never was. Patience training it was called.

Your friend must not have much self respect.

Strange that, I looked at it and thought what a load of daft crap, but after realising how some of you barbarians jump to the wrong conclusions. I held back for the 'good name and holy sanctity of the thread'

I really mean to say there are so many clowns in here giving nothing and yet taking up columns of precious value with meanderings akin to pig **** on a crusty baton, well buttered with Irelands best spread thickly adorning both crusts.

I'm of the opinion that Father Murphy would take umbrage at the contents having come across better episodes of entertainment in the tossing box.

meanwhile Home Secretary tells Muslims to check their kids for worrying signs of extremism

...reading koran
...mixing explosives
...visiting Afghanistan

As one moderate muslim leader said to his friend, thats the problem with kids today, they blow up so quickly.

........................

Home Secretary John Reid has been heckled during a speech about targeting potential Muslim extremists

The home secretary said "our fight is not with Muslims generally".

Instead, he said, there was a "struggle against extremism".

And, warning that terrorist fanatics sought to influence youngsters, he said: "There is no nice way of saying this.

"These fanatics are looking to groom and brainwash children, including your children, for suicide bombings, grooming them to kill themselves in order to murder others."

As security guards and police tried to usher the well-known London radical out of the building Mr Brooks lashed out at police tactics.

He criticised the arrest of a mother with a six-month-old baby, who has since been charged. "You are an enemy of Islam and all Muslims," he said. "How dare you come here to a Muslim area after you have arrested Muslims? You are a tyrant, more than 1,000 Muslims have been arrested."

Several Muslims in the audience urged him to stop, but Mr Brooks told them that the police would kick down their doors and drag their wives and daughters from their beds.

Mr Brooks and several of his associates were eventually ushered out of the door. The outburst will prompt questions about the security surrounding the Home Secretary.

Pretty sneaky the way he used the word "groom" there. Not usually heard in this context.
That's evil, in my view. As if things weren't bad enough, without allusions to paedophilia.
Weaselly words, just what we expect from a politician.

The way he entered that room, obviously no security around him, it was ridiculous. What kind of example is that for a Foreign Secretary to take?

0 Replies

He's not Foreign Secretary is he. Isn't the delightful Mrs Beckett safely bedded into that position.

He's Minister for Sport. Has there been a cabinet reshuffle recently?

I'm taking the piss Spendi, (he was amongst the foreigners wasn't he)?

What has really astounded me is that the post I posted, Tue Sep 19, 2006 5:01 pm No 2270910, has gone down, in this exalted company, as just another of those exhortations which one has to listen politely to before one has one's own say and which is more in the nature of "noises off" as the composition of one's own contribution is worked out.

Just a small irrelevant amount of it, St Columb was it, provides an opportunity to demonstrate that one takes breaks in Cornwall which is posh on account of it being a long way away and thus requiring large amounts of scarce oil to accomplish the return journey to it's well known bleakness and hopeless economic performance consequences. The oil companies having seen to it that using their product a lot is by definition posh and thus worthy of commendation and even envy.

A bit like when one says that there's been a crash on the motorway and a lady reflexes on "motorway" to explain how she was on the M1 recently visiting her son/daughter at the university. That's American not British and thus hopelessly off topic.

The fundamentalist British question- What did the verb "to crap" mean before Crapper's fame changed it into "to ****"? And it did. No question about that. Like Hoover did. "To hoover" is to vamoose the ****. Outofsightoutofmind it. Bag it up.

It must have been an occupation before that. Trimming wicks on oil lamps or skinning otters or maybe pimping.

Had it meant "to ****" the name wouldn't have survived because no woman would take the name Mrs ****.

I fear a Mr **** would either have had to change his name or allow his seed to fall on stoney ground which, according to Darwin, means selected out.
