I would just like an option. Most comparable countries elect the head of state so why can't we. If the royalists among us are confident that they represent the silent majority I can't see what they have to fear from a referendum. I think that they realise the majority view the parasitic...

Is that the Swiss in Shoreham? If so, my Nan was born in the pub, apparently, my great nan worked behind the bar and couldn't afford to take time off so she worked to the last minute, but a couple of minutes longer than she should. I reckon I should get free beer in that pub, as it's in the...

I thought we were talking about the Muslims, not the IRA?

Thank you Mr Wozza, does that suggest that you are of a similar era and accept that it comes with some intolerances, or that you are a wipper snapper that carries nothing from a previous, more intolerant but more glorious era, into the present, more enlightened times that we are gifted to live in?

Please elucidate, who is we?

Tough one this! My fixed rate mortgage runs out in two months and I am facing a big hike in my repayments. So, I dont feel in a position to set up a monthly payment, but a one off I could maybe manage.

Sorry Mr Dad. I kinda see what what you are saying but I thought it was about being proud to be what you are, gay , or have I missed something?

it is only since 1967 that those who bowl from the pavilion end have have been able to legally indulge I know I shouldn't :laugh::laugh: Bit I can't help it.

I understand your point Mr 25, If gays and other sexual minorities have days out why don't Palace fans? Not sure that I know the answer to that one, I think we have done all we can to help a small group of people such as you. Apparently when you were offered tickets to come to Withdean, you...

Ye OK we do get a lot of shit down, but an awfull lot of really nice people from all over the world come here and I for one am proud to see them. The old pubs in the lanes and the North Laine are a joy to anyone that loves what England is about. I know some are owned by non English peple but...

My point exactly Mr bred. We don't still see the Suffrogets marching through the streets celebrating womens voting rights although that was a breakthrough far greater than gay liberation ever will be. Catholics have had a bad day or two over the last couple of centuries and, I understand...

I am aware of that Mr Deep, but it doesn't answer my question. Why do gay people need to march through city centers, any city centers, to celebrate being what they are? I just don't get it.

Sorry gjh, some of us have to work weekends and it had probably fallen of the front couple of pages by the time I got back on. I promise to be more diligent in future. :shrug:

My son who's 18, has just come home really angry because some fat northern bastard has just stopped him in the street and told him its his lucky day because he's looking for some young cock! A ) fat northern bastards shouldn't be allowed into our beautiful city B ) If that had been a hetro...

I don't recall ever having any arguement with you let alone this one.

I'm in my fiftys now, when I was a kid homosexuality was illegal and I was brought up to see it as wrong, as many people my age were. I consider myself to be tollerant and considerate , don't wish to impose my views or my sexuality ( straight ) on others that don't see the world the same as me...

There is indeed just one place finer than BN1 and thats BN2

Well said Brian. I would have said the same myself except for suggesting that TLO knows nothing about ale.

About 15 years ago, when living in Worthing, me, the missus and the 2 kids, having breakfast and the smoke detector goes off. I have a look around ( it was a big house ) and the cuboard under the stairs has smoke billowing out. The missus gets the kids out and calls the fire brigade while I...

I think that is an important part of the dilema this country faced at the time. We, as a capitalist country saw the spread of communism as the greatest threat and the rise of Hitler was seen as a bastion against the athiest communists. Its not as straight foreward as some people think. When...
