Majority of them are stepping down as they will be well into their 70's before before they can retire. They can't retire mid-term (which I wasn't aware of until recently), so they have to commit to another 5 years. Good luck to them going now to hopefully enjoy their twilight years. A couple of younger ones are going because of family commitments or health reasons.
There's plenty of young replacements coming through,
Hey, Tour de France is on. Why didn't anybody tell me?
I'll try and remember next year.
I wonder if it will reach the end this year as the commentators here said that if France go back into lockdown again that will bring it to an end. Hope not.
To the rest here I have been honest and reported truths
Who has said otherwise? Definitely not me, you had some of the details wrong that is all which that article puts right. You are arguing for arguing sake man, give it a rest.
I am making up issues?? For goodness sake Luxor what the deuce are you playing at?
Yes you are making an issue of it as you appear to think I have denied anything about the case when I haven't uttered a word about it as it does not concern me. My only contribution was to post a link to an article with the correct details of the case for those on here that may be interested. It didn't need your usual blah, blah, blah
Jeez I swear you would try to start an argument in an empty room if you were allowed to.
Really rj? Just look at this thread for an example.
You post about the FM being on TV doing her daily briefing. I post telling you that you don't need to watch it.
Your next post is right on the attack accusing me of a gormless comment. For stating an actual fact. Then you proceed to follow up with your usual personal opinions about me once again. Then go on to repeat stuff you've been repeating for 6 long years. When you have already been told to take it elsewhere.
Take the hint, I have my limits to what I will put up with.
If it carries on I will be looking to put my moderators hat on. Neither of us want that.
I suggest you do slide away if you are going to start your repetitive nonsense again. You have already been told to take that elsewhere because it is very tiresome and I'm getting sick of telling you that.
Keep it civil and keep your personal opinions about me to yourself, I've been quite tolerant with you in that regard, but enough's enough. A bit of banter and slagging off is fine (we're Sots it's in our genes). But if you can't keep it civil then I suggest you go and find another place suitable for your ranting.
I repeat, turn your TV off or change the channel if you don't want to see her on your TV. If you're not capable of that then ask a responsible adult for some assistance.
No, because he's a bumbling idiot who would rather hide.
It's quite simple if you don't want to see or hear her, then change channel or turn off your TV. That's what I and any sensible person would do. I'm sure even you are capable of that, (or maybe not). Now gies peace.
You're not forced to be here against your wishes, if you're not happy, I'm sure you'll find somewhere else that will accommodate you.
Frankly I've had enough of this constant bitching from you, as I have better things to do. You were told not to do this again as people are bored with it, but you seem to have ignored that suggestion.
On the half chance that you missed it the first time.
