Brilliant news, I would imagine the party down here will be out of this world when they get elected

All good as usual boys. To quote one of your own, this is how they do it. Logging off now to eat my swans and beat my Welsh housekeeper Whilst drinking a £1500 bottle of Merlot Toodle pip

Very good, Ignore the content for a cheap laugh. You won’t get me i am part of the union you won’t get me I am part of the union.......

Very clever, for clarification, I was answering on two different fronts, One stating that Tony Blair inherited a Rolls-Royce of an economy and secondly What happened with the unions had to happen which is what I believe you were referring to.

The word parody and satire was used I believe if you read my post properly. I was responding on why I believe the unions had to be curtailed and using the film as an example in satirical purposes for younger people who were not around then as a satirical example about the culture of the unions during that decade which in turn brought the conflict with Thatcher there after, Trying to twist it round to look clever really isn’t very clever. For all of your huffing and puffing on here there is still a Conservative government And it’s probably likely in four years time there will be again. No point trying to convince a board where the majority of the political thought is in your corner you need to convince the rest of the Country In addition to the comment you made earlier, re I’m alright Jack, I personally gave up a very large sum of money to do the right thing, Something I doubt very few people would So my conscience is more than clear because I have done something to help people in real terms

I was not referring to you I was referring to anybody younger reading this

The unions had far too much power, As a satirical reference for those not around during those times have a look at Carry on at your convenience, It sums up the ‘everybody out’ mentality perfectly of the decade, The film although a parody was not a bad reflection of the times with the closed shop and unions holding the Country to ransom

Why bother sticking the reference in the post then if it is irrelevant and not open for response

Again you are wrong. People including myself have been pulled up regarding the use of ‘anecdotal’ characters to add validity to their posts, I was just ensuring that practice was adhered to.

The reason those years were ghastly was because the country was broken behind recognition. Agreed what happened was not pleasant but it had to happen. Just check the figures for the three years before Blair’s election, They do not lie

So you never quoted that then

Have I now? Your point was that Country as a whole was more prosperous at the end of Blair’s terms of office, my point being the economy was already on the up and that had nothing to do with him, move forward two years and his Chancellor sold 40% of our gold deposits and also quoted along the way that we had gone past the boom and bust economic cycles due to labours stewardship.

Forgive me for not getting emotional about anecdotal characters I don’t know.

After the embarrassment of black Wednesday, Ken Clarke led the country on a period of growth and low inflation handing Blair an economy starting to flourish.

If we could get 10 to 12 goals out of him a season I would be over the moon

I can’t help it, every time I read your posts I hear Dave Angel speaking the words in my head

Very good, very twisty turney as well

Spent the day in a brewhouse pub/kitchen with its own microbrewery. Was there from 10 o’clock this morning And when the doors opened it did a cracking trade until I left. Proper unique experience that knocks spots off Wetherspoons. More boozers like this would put Wetherspoons on the back foot. The beer I had a small part in creating today goes on general sale in 4 to 6 weeks. Top place

Turned up in my local one Monday when he played for us, only about half a dozen bods in there, sat with him for a few pints, he stood his round much to his insistence, even went with him to another couple of boozers. He seemed troubled but a perfect gentleman at all times, completely random evening that will live with me for life

On a day excursion with Mr Follyfoot senior at a brewhouse micro brewery, sampled 12 ales so far and 4 pints deep whilst our baby’ brew (been brewing since 11am) and will be served in circa. 4 / 6 weeks. Highly recommended to kill a day, get breakfast and a meal, 5 pints plus a 5l Keg to take home, all for £85 per head

It was more of a squiggle than a line

Only 48 years that I can remember but I was going before then I am told. I’m not saying he will and only time will see if my assumptions are correct. I’m well aware it is a big statement, Especially being fortunate enough to have watched the great Sir Brian on many, many occasions, (the person who currently holds that mantle in my opinion ) My point is how many full Brazilian internationals have ever played for us? At the age he is he could end up with a couple of World Cup winners medals and if he remains in the Brazil side will end up playing for one of the elite European clubs possibly winning the champions league and various other accolades on a couple of occasions. Or he might break his leg next year and never play again, it’s all subjective

What about the best short story songs? I nominate the Devil came down to Georgia

Only time will tell my friend

He has the ability to be the greatest player to ever have played for us, enjoy him while you can
