Just seen his post sent the same time as mine he had the advantage of having less distance to go. Her name wasn't Michico it was Sadjico and her true love was a Swiss seaman who gave her a present that was after I met her, and before Cappy got entangled with her. Was going to tell him earlier but forgot. Cheers JWS.

Re: do we really want this guy to run our country?
Remember back to the seventies when ITN used to a report on the number of people out of work etc.
Trevor McDonald was in the chair, he announced the next item of news maybe cause distress to Scotsmen and whisky drinkers, so look away now.
Because of the recession whisky sales had fallen through the floor, the news item took us a bonded warehouse, which was full of barrels of maturing Scotch, there was no space for any more.
To creates space, the bungs on the barrels were removed and the whisky poured down into the drainage channels, brought tears to a glass eye.
Regards
Vic

Re: do we really want this guy to run our country?
Lewis, you are begining to worry me, i am starting to agree with some of what you say. Yes I agree politics and religion are often the cause of so many problems, but sadly so much of the worlds problems evolve from them.
I follow politics on a global range as I find much of it very interesting, not from a political view but from passing comment on some of the more stupid things polis do and say.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: do we really want this guy to run our country?
I looked long and hard at Corbyn , it never ceases to amaze me how the labour party represents the working class with these pseudo socialist , I think true labour working class politicians are rarer than posh blokes in Leygate or South Shields in general , as much as I disagree with the man I think the Beast of Bolsover , Mr Dennis Skinner is almost alone . I look at the grinning faces of Farage and Farron
the smugness of Johnson and Rees-Mogg and wonder . it really is not worth the vote .

Re: do we really want this guy to run our country?
Rob as I said in an earlier post, you were probably on your holidays, I personally couldn't care less what name they give to any party, so labour or labor and conservative are immaterial to me, and would imagine a lot of others vote the same way. First I look for a patriot, then any candidate who can produce a safe country where the populane are properly protected. That the standard of living conditions is not going to go down. And future generations are going to have a reasonable life. The thought of a police state does not bother me too much as it seems to some as being their argument if you are not a criminal why fear the police. Promises given by a polly mean absolutely nothing and would rather see his cv and if he makes a promise and a Christian to do so on the Bible. It seems to be a lot of years since just pure honesty was practised by plain honest men or women. Cheers JWS.
