At the General Election,vote Labour.

[Chicken Run]

At least he didn't try to get our votes on the basis that his cousin is a member of the current Albion board.

Here we go

 

[Dave the OAP]

He is not Jewish by any chance is he?

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Eh?

Fair enough. You're not a fan then?

no, not a fan... anyone who can seriously stand up for increasing Inheritance Tax allowances is a complete **** in my book.

To come on here hoping to dupe a few Brighton fans into voting for him, because he's such a good bloke and staunch supporter of "the Seagulls", is a further measure of the man...

 

[Buzzer]

I don't know - is it? Do I have a role as fans' representative? Blimey, you learn something new every day. Cheers for that.

Are you thinking that my use of 'us' refers to everyone?



No idea. Were we the Dolphins then?

In case you thought this was a party thing - it isn't. I would have had no issue with him but for that appearance at the Lib Dem march.

Oh sorry. Of course. The 'us' refers to one or more specific people who've privately designated you as spokesman. Or then again you're using Northern colloquialisms to refer just to yourself. Sorry. My mistake.

No idea about the Dolphins and couldn't give a toss, to be honest. Just think it's on the pedantic side of crapness to pick someone up for that. Mind you, I'm not reading as much into it as some so I may be missing some nuances.

Coupled with the fact that it's Friday and I want to wind you up into flouncing. You do it so well.

 

[The Large One]

Yes, all one of 'us'.

Tony Blair , remember him, things can only get better ,mandelson and kinnock dancing like a pair of total cocks on the balcony,the party and leader people like you greeted as a messiah, but now deny ever having supported him ?

Oh, how little you know me...

I find it easy to deny ever supporting him because I haven't. I had dealings with him when he was shadow Employment secretary and I thought he was a smarmy, self-serving, lawyer on the make - I've not changed my mind in the intervening 16 years.

And I steered well clear of those celebrations in 1997. I went to the opera that evening and remember crossing Waterloo Bridge on the way home and it looked a gathering of London's worst to me.

If it helps, my fathers cousin Cyril played for and coached Albion in the late 40's early 50's

We lived in Hangleton and voted tory

Cheers

Okey dokey.

How about politicians coming clean?

Cynicism will carry the day unless they get back to conducting election campaigns with honesty and transparency. I want to hear them say: "Vote for me because these are the policies of me and my party", not: "Vote for me because my grandad used to play for the Albion".

My sister-in-law's brother used to play for Cardiff City. SO WHAT?

 

[Buzzer]

Yes, all one of 'us'.

Chinny reckon, you meant that.

get back to? When did that ever happen.

My Grandfather played for Barnsley during the war

 

[The Large One]

Well, I could have said 'please don't insult 'me'... etc.

Then you'd have had another thing to have a cheap swipe at.

Cheap? How very dare you. It would have been an exquisitely crafted put down.

Quite.

I have no objections to politicians using sporting connections if they're genuine fans (and some are) but to see one trying to ingratiate himself with Brighton supporters this way sticks in the craw.

Last week's The Thick of It was brilliant in the way that it captured the inanities of politicians leaping on to sporting bandwagons BTW

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

With a £12k deposit you could afford this 2 bedroom flat in Putney

I think you'd need more than an 8% deposit. But fair enough, it does look affordable.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Weren't they trying to sell an understair cupboard for a million pounds last year?

The UKs thinnest house is currently up for sale. 6 feet wide and 3 stories tall, in Hammersmith and over half a mill if memory serves me.

Useful if you're Lena Zavaroni but f*** all benefit to most of us.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Not sporting, but that photo of William Hague in Notting Hill with a whistle round his neck sipping from a coconut springs to mind

why ?? why the f*** should what my parents and subsequently what i have worked all my life for be taxed twice so it can be spunked up the wall on some five a day co-ordinator or a family of afghan "asylum seekers" like these Pictured: Inside the luxury £1.2m council house... complete with 50-inch plasma TV | Mail Online, its utter f***ing wankers like you that constantly spout off about taxing to the point of driving away the people that actually create wealth in this country that are the cnuts in my book.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Bearing in mind that this country is spending billions supporting the opponents of the Taliban, why does bushy get so twitchy when one such opponent gets identified in the Daily Mail?

 

[WATFORD zero]

I thought we were the Shrimps back then and only became the Dolphins after the aquarium shipped a couple in back in the late 60s.

And my wife's Grandad played for Celtic
