    [Politics] The General Election Thread

    I despair of the millions of working class Tories/Brexiters who seem to think that public-school-educated millionaires like Johnson, Farage or Rees-Smugg care about them (just like the 'left-behind' in the US worship the billionaire property tycoon Trump), and will, post-Brexit, suddenly make...

    [Politics] The General Election Thread

    Really! Tories have been making expensive pledges non-stop since Johnson became leader, while also promising to cut taxes (thus reducing government revenues to pay for extra spending) - yet as always, you Tories only slag-off 'economically illiterate' Labour.

    Good point, well made. Fortunately, no Tory leader would ever be shamelessly photographed with a prominent IRA terrorist

    [Politics] The General Election Thread

    Probably, yes - how, or from where, do people get their views about Corbyn, other than the endless propaganda and lies about him Don't get me wrong, I actually don't think he's a very good leader, and I can't envisage him as an effective PM, but that's because I've watched and listened to him...

    [Film] Your most powerful acting scene of all time ?

    The final scene in The Wicker Man, when Sergeant Howie (Edward Woodward) realises that he is the virgin sacrifice to be burnt (can't find a proper clip of this scene anywhere). Also, the 'basement scene' in Pulp Fiction.

    [Misc] Costa Rica advice

    Went last year, as a 20th Wedding Anniversary treat. Best holiday ever. If you love wildlife, exotic animals and venomous creepy-crawlies, Costa Rica is perfect!

    [Misc] "Sumfin", "whatevs" and "simples" added to Oxford English Dictionary

    Perhaps the OED should add a new definition for 'like' - "stupid verbal punctuation, inserted about 6 times in every sentence, by ditzy teenage girls and young women, in a misguided attempt to sound 'cool' or 'sexy'. Often combined with 'vocal fry'. See also: bimbo, airhead, Kardashian-follower...

    [Football] Derby shambles

    "Earlier the court heard from a probation officer, who said that Lawrence had told her he thought he would lose his job if he were jailed. She said he also said he thought prison would “mess with his head”. A second probation officer said that Bennett was “extremely concerned about the prospect...

    [Humour] Poetic Put Downs

    Maybe a slight tangent, but I've always chuckled at Kevin Rowland's (Dexy's Midnight Runners) withering put-down of Mick Hucknall's appearance: "If I had a dog with a face like that, I'd shave its a**e and teach it to walk backwards." Harsh, but fair - although given his subsequent fame and...

    [Humour] Poetic Put Downs

    Many, many, years ago, I had an argument with a neighbour. As I was clearly winning, they huffed "You're the rudest person I've ever met." To which I instantly replied: "Flattery will get you nowhere."

    [NSC] Psychedelic Furs

    Going to see them at The Roundhouse in London next Saturday. Hope things have been sorted out by then, whatever the problem(s). They remain one of my favourite bands, although they haven't released an album for nearly 30 years, and rarely tour the UK (but tour the US constantly, where they are...
