Be Excellent To Each Other

"Most men" do lots of things, I'm not sure avoiding these things because of that reasoning is at all logical.

(Yes, I may be deliberately missing your point )


I do

I have found the house!

There is something reassuring when you walk into your local pub, the owner sees you, and, with a mad glint in his eye, begins to tap a pump handle. "Do you like chilli?" He asks. "Obv" your hero replies. So I now have a chocolate and chilli porter with an amazing aftertaste. Superb.

Yes! Yes! A thousand times yes!

Put it back where you found it.

Fill those bookshelfs with games!

Fuck. I couldn't buy my flat for that.

BUY IT!

O.I.E.O?

Was the previous owner old McDonald or something?

It's hilariously insane, somebody purposely built it like that about 20 years ago.

I don't get "offers over" prices. I wonder if anybody ever actually offers more that the lowest number? Why would you? It's not a sealed bid system or anything like that.

DO IT!

In about two years when they've failed to sell, you could get a bargain.

I love it! You wouldn't see me if I came to visit though, it looks like there is so much to explore!

Jesus, that's horrible.

I had something clever to say on one of the current threads, but now I can't find it or remember what is was.

So just pretend I did it anyway, right?

Mali is a fuck. Saturnalian is awesome.

Awesome dude.

Posh toilets on this train.

Balls. Realised I will be on the football train down to London as Bradford have Chelsea in the cup.

"If a gang turned up with a dachshund it wouldn't have the same impact."

Well, yes, quite.

Reminds me of the quote from Drop the Dead Donkey "if it is short, squat and ugly, it probably owns a pitbull"

How many rooms does your house have?
Hmmm.... well... i'm not actually sure...

Giving serious thoughts to driving to view that for no reason other than curiosity.

Imagine the face of the builder when they handed over the plans...

Well, I love it and would get it in a heartbeat if I could afford it.

Endorsed!

Wahey! Up the Boro!

I've just realised that I've forgotten to do the Royal Rumble sweepstakes this year... Sorry everyone.

You'd dead to mw

Phew... That's a relief as I thought I'd be dead to you Curiosity.

The electoral role in Bradford has been reduced by 5% as a result of the new system* to stop electoral fraud. That's 20,000 people. In the City Ward, it's dropped by 14%. That's quite alarming.

*Each person has to register individually now, and not just have one person signing up a whole household.

Electoral rolls in Oxford have been heavily hit because colleges and halls are no longer able to register students en-masse.
I'm torn on this one.

Access to the ballot is extremely important and we should put nothing in the way to prevent those eligible from registering. On the other hand, we need to feel that the register is accurate and contains only eligible voters, and if people are unwilling to register they should not be surprised if they don't get a vote or find it hard to get insurance. Certainly, more publicity is needed, but it's depressing that people don't think it's important.

One step to combating fraud would be to curb the use of postal and proxy voting and restrict it to the severely ill, the disabled, or those with long-standing arrangmenets to be elsewhere. I've always felt uncomfortable with the ease postal or proxy votes can be obtained as they carry the risk that the voter's choice will not be secret or not be their own decision.

That UKIP official who was in the Sunday press for saying that bigots should have a party of their own too?
Went to college with him, where he was called 'Matt the Bigot'. He was a bit of a ('Piers Morgan' - Ed.) back then, too.

I feel dirty using this as a claim to fame.

Well at least he is honest.

I don't agree. We need to make it easier for people to vote, not harder. The current system is archaic, if I couldn't postal vote then there is a reasonable chance I couldn't get to my local polling station, due to work commitments. (I work a long way from my house on a daily basis, and regularly work away from home on short notice.)

Surely it wouldn't be beyond the wit of man to devise a system whereby you could go to any polling station.

I wonder whether the negative name calling only served to harden his views where his views should have been challenged in a constructive forum. College, aye?

Just a thought. I'm not saying that you didn't challenge his views but surely the moniker "Matt The Bigot" couldn't have helped. And I'm not saying that's anyone's fault either. It's just a thought. I'm not picking a fight or nothing I'm just saying I don't like name calling and name calling can actually be incredibly hurtful. Unless your nick name is Rad Johnny Johnson Jnr of Funkytown.

*whispers*

National ID cards

The whole system underneath is archaic, there isn't any join up of data between parishes. It possible, but not easy.

I think he encouraged it.

Northern Ireland has an electoral ID card, which is free to obtain. Any such system risks becoming a form of poll tax, and people shouldn't be denied the right to vote because they haven't bought a card.

Exactly

Trains are fucked, so i've come back home! Woohoo!

My 85 year old neighbours have either a phone ringtone, doorbell or similar which seems to play what sounds like a Casio Keyboard version of the first few bars of Nirvana's Come As You Are.

It won't stop going off this morning.

It's driving me up the wall.

Working from home = working with bacon.

I am also at home. Though not working. And completely baconless.

Actually, I may have done Quorn bacon in the freezer. I definitely have some awesome veggie sausages.

Hmm... Might be a plan.

Mrs T was away at the weekend. My lunch on saturday was 16 rashers of bacon.

I'm also working from home, with a cat that won't leave the bloody laptop alone. Strangely, productivity is unaffected.

Just a bit of reordering.

Yeah, it's not the same, but makes a nice sandwich

I always find fake bacon flavour to be overly strong and not actually taste of bacon.
