Re: Camerons Replacement.
Hi John
There is No one in Parliament who can replace Cameron. Not even Cameron himself.
They are all bent.
My nightmare is,,, that Miliband and Balls take over. At least if it was Laurel and Hardy we could have a laugh at the Disasters.
I just saw Miliband performing at PMQ, and what a waste of time he was. Poncing about like a school girl, in fact a School Girl could have done a better job and asked more relevant and intelligent questions.
Who can we Vote for?? Not Conservative, Not Labour, Not Lib Dem
There is absolutely No one to vote for.
and I am Not voting Labour just because my Dad and Grandad and his dad before him Voted for Labour.
.
Is there No one in Britain who has any Intelligence, any Integrity, and any Common Sense????
Cheers
Brian.

Yup - Marian.

Re: Camerons Replacement.
The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals. We are all familiar with a
Herd of cows
Flock of Birds
School of fish
However, less widely known is:
A Murder of crows
An Exaltation of doves
And, presumably because they look so wise:
A Congress of owls
Now consider a group of Baboons.
They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates.........
And what is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons?
Believe it or not ……
. A Parliament
YEP....A PARLIAMENT OF BABOONS!
Pretty much explains everything doesn't it?

Re: Camerons Replacement.
Excellent comparison with our current bunch of primates Kong. Think your chickens should be a brood or clutch rather than a flock, that was what my mattress was filled with when I were a lad.

Re: Camerons Replacement.
#30... Started a survey off in the late 90"s. Core sampling every 1000 yards or so from Oz to Auckland NZ. Was supposed to take about 8 months, took the best part of nearly 2 years, Was on a converted supply vessel not an ideal vessel for the job as had no DP or anything and had to hold the vessel within certain limits by putting the stern into the sea and working the twin screws whilst dropping the core sampler over the stern taking the sample and recovering. Depending on depth of water used to take anything from 10 minutes to near half an hour each sample. Anyhow this started by taking the initial sample about 300 metres off Bondi Beach. I also imagined it much bigger, from the sea aspect it appeared very similar to Cullercoats Cappy. You know where you used to do your bit of smuggling from that old army Dukw you used to run off Marsden Grotto. Have been back and seen from a land aspect and is definetley bigger than Cullercoats however. Never did like sitting on the beach, the sand used to get into the beer. Cheers John S

Re: Camerons Replacement.
In reply to the question by Brian about getting a sensible person in to the parliament.
There was once such a person, but he ended up on the chopping block.
A Guy by the name of Fawkes if I recall.


Happy daze John in Oz.
