Maybe one day some form of normality might creep into nutjobland. So many over there are like children the way they act yet meant to be adults. Dare say that the new President will make some changes but the big sadnesses will continue. Such an immature attitudes on the streets but traditionally what they called a "party conference." A pity there is a national immaturity.
When I said that wore a black gown it was not for religious reasons it was a court at one of my city's District Court and I was in charge. Nice being a 'your honour.' As for socks - no red ones but have orange (of course) and Union Flag ones amongst my collection. Mind you at rallies my staunch reformed faith speeches have went down well!
It looked odd but so you can relax and get a decent sleep (!) I always loved the old dial phones so why I bought one for my bedroom upstairs!Bright orange (of course) and lovely to hear the sound when I dial. Ah, like enjoying a cuddle from a pretty woman.
You talked nonsense OakdaleFTL hen I mentioned we were more democratic than you and you came up with nonsense of course! Our parties elect leaders in their parties by " nonsense. In 2010 we had a joint government between the Conservative and the Liberal Democrats. Your upper house includes a 60% rate of millionaires. We have a welfare state and national health service and tens of millions of Yanks left groundless. Neither candidates in the Presidential show are to my mind the right person to be in the White House so I have two groans - Trump and Biden.
On a broader level the tens of millions o food stamps, millions in jail massive numbers homeless and so on does not make a damn who is in power,
As passingly happens dear colonel I own a power hat which wear at certain parades (!) and I must say that I am not someone who would be happy at US control here. We er getting out of that EU farce but not for us boots on our heads.
Well as it happens I am against the Kirk moving towards queer ministers and indeed a crawl for marriages for that corner. Progress in a general mind is fine and Paul an outstanding man as I said once in a sermon but we have moved on regarding his time. I had to wear a black gown twice a month but not on spiritual matters!
Yes highly competitive an election but a farce in a way regarding broad balance and common sense. In addition I am fed up to the teeth with that election going on and on in our media and for heavens sake even concentrated programmes on the media about it. Makes that country look daft to put it mildly.
I think musing back on the disharmony between the two contestants back in 2000 I recall well this one will be worse. Sadly it is very much closer and if Trump out then the replacement will have a senate giving problems. Whatever faults Trump has and he was not a routine politician, I suspect that Biden will be a groan. Good that we have a wider political basis but it's what you get for dumping tea..............
Unfortunately a damn farce Frenzie! The government scraps the BBC licence fee for older people hen the next year brings the damn thing back! Twice the BBC has been involved in two rather disgraceful impropriety matters. The nonsense n Cliff Richards and now a falseness on the late Princess Diana. It seemed head shaking the government cancelss that fee making no action of the effect on BBC income so just brings it back??! Senior Citizens with less income get allowed for that re the BBC but the rest of that age group gets hit as many will have a state and a works pension.
Although fine it has no adverts to pay for itself but frankly its not what it historically as and the government financial involvement should be binned. Even a well known top BBC man involved in seeing to political and current affairs on screen is shoving off and going to a brand new news company starting soon. My consolation is I m not married and can gripe when watching tv!
Well drifting back to the starting picture I decided to replace a second phone in a room upstairs so got one with the dial up and also in my favourite colour of orange. Brings back old memories when I use it and the dial whirs round with that lovely sound, Had also missed the dial style and putting up with pressing buttons (until at least upstairs) !
The BBC nowadays is living on it's past standards. They were shocking on what they did about the famous long time singer Cliff Richard who won a sum against them. Now seems they were false in matters dealing with the late Princess Diana People pay just over £15 a month then that sum was closed by the government for pensioners over 70. Then the following year brought the damn thing back! Only a proportion of lesser off pensioners get it free but routinely most back to having it! Personally I would scrub the BBC as presently organised as a public and although no adverts good it is a joke these days everyone having a kind of tax for the damnable thing.
My query on the US NCC I stick with and it is head shaking actually leaning to one side.
Yes would sympathise with that assertion regarding both Trump and Biden and the whole mess rubbishes the pompous ideas that Yanks have of being the greatest democracy.
That Scottish Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf is not the most bright man and was also a man to cause head shaking when he wanted to bringing in new strict opinion style laws. However that brought bedlam everywhere in the police and right across the legal world. Why that miners disgraceful thing would be put up with today to my mind is a disgrace. Trouble with the miners back then was they had a built-in superior attitude that seemed to think they were more important than sense an the political system.
it basically for tens of millions of Americans mean sod all who wins. I have described on the forum tens millions on food stamps legions who are widely homeless, jail people numbers and so on. Even at a Presidential the place is daft enough to have an electoral college. So these national mass failings continue under both Republicans and Democrats. Must also remind even under the groans on Trump it has been armies of Democrats who went massively bananas on the streets with violence, raiding shops and so on. US party conference routinely are juvenile to put it bluntly with lots standing around the even with long poles and boards on the top and speeches are juvenile. Party conferences are childish and head shaking. So basically the terrible state of prisoner numbers people on death row, nowhere to live and food stamp numbers exist under both Democrats and Republicans.
Many of people might not be too keen on Trump but there will be no great improvement under Biden. Sad that the rel idea of democracy in the ex-colonies is just a word and means little in practice for an army of people.
