Hamburger Pimp

Were they lasses, then?

In the rather cushioned '60s I drove a motor scooter through 20 foot snowdrifts to get to school.

And I thought you were just a board mod, not a bored MOD!

Good work, sir!

Yes I am. She probably has unlike you. The most racist people are people like yourself flinging it in to the spotlight at every opportunity baiting people and waiting for them to bite.A black man as an avitar and calling him pimp says it all don't you think!!!

I'm sure these things make sense to you when they're in your head.

Well paint me blue and call me Suzie, it's only gone and turned into March, hasn't it?

While this may signal a high day and a holy day for our Welsh brethren, what it means to us Beddy Preddy leaguers is that another month's competition is over.

Let us proceed to the results and see who are the spring chickens and who are the spring rolls.

Hats off to the mysterious DavePa, a worthy winner by a short head. Who knows who will be plucked out by the fickle hand of fate this month?

Keep clicking and picking!

Are you as unpleasant in real life as you are on here?

Maybe sissinghurst does indeed have a sense of humour, only it's a one that doesn't rely on racism and posting numerous smilies after your own witless remarks?

There are such people out there, you know?

What does everyone think of this? She has only a few weeks, maybe a couple of months to live if she`s lucky

Doctors missed her cancer for nigh on 4 years..

So, has anyone any views on this? Whether it be `i can`t stand her` or `poor Jade`..

I personally think she should sue the medical profession for failing to find this curable cancer. Not that she`ll have time to do it..but i hope she leaves instructions to her loved ones to follow it through.

Is there any evidence of medical negligence?

What absolute guff.

...

Get some perspective.

Ministers 'using fear of terror'

Stella Rimington has often been critical of the government

A former head of MI5 has accused the government of exploiting the fear of terrorism to restrict civil liberties.

Dame Stella Rimington, 73, said people in Britain felt as if they were living "under a police state".

Having got snotty about being misrepresented on another thread, that's a pretty disingenuous bit of selective quoting right there.

The original quote:

What absolute guff.

Stalin killed millions of his own citizens. Our government is being overly zealous in trying to prevent terrorist attacks.

Get some perspective.

For what it's worth, I disagree with the government's restriction of civil liberties, hence the phrase "overly zealous".

The point I was making was that this did not make them the worst example of totalitarianism ever. Examples of regimes who gave themselves powers even more drastic than compiling a database would include Stalin's Russia, Cold War East Germany, 1970s Cambodia, 1980s South Africa or today's Zimbabwe.

Don't let that get in the way of ever more tiresome rants against the government of the day, though.

The government was a totalitarian Orwellian nightmare yesterday, today they're "so-called liberal" looney lefties.

Did you get the bumper book of Richard Littlejohn political cliches for Christmas?

The government has to balance an individual's human rights and freedom of expression against the potential that they may cause disorder.

They've banned muslims in the past. There were no riots or threats of bombings. Now they've banned this Dutch eedjit. Good.

There is the chance, slight though it may be, that the Home Office, informed by the Police, are better able to make this call than a couple of right-wing apologists on an internet forum.

No offence.

A sensible decision to exclude an attention-seeking bigoted idiot.

*looks up*

We have enough of those as it is.

It certainly could, Brian. It certainly could.

*Does Bob Monkhouse-style turning hands over thing*

But enough about this thread, where's the howling noise coming from, eh?

why have we got such a dummy for a prime minister? he's been the worst on since that major. saying that there's not much choice its either brown, cameron or ming the merciless no ming cambell.. nick griffin for prime minister! or kilroy! or alf garnet!

Those Prime Ministers since Major in full:

Blair

Brown

What's that coming over the hill, is it an update, is it an update?

You bet your bippy it is! Any suggestions that this is only because yours truly got a decent score for once would be well wide of the mark.

Well wide.

Anyhoo, let's crack on and find out who's going home with the prom queen and who's going home in a JFK ambulance.

Props and mad love the way of Pistol Pete, shooting the lights out with a big 11 points.

The rest of you, keep pressing and guessing.

L8rs!

It needs to be the first to stand up for the rights of the Smoker, two rooms, with a choice.. smoke room & non smoke room, no under 20s ( years of age ) not tabs per night It would be full, esp in this weather...GIVE people the choice.

Not going to happen.

Our "politically correct gone mad" government values the right to work and drink in an environment free of carcinogenic fumes more than the freedom to smoke 'bines.

You couldn't make it up.

No other state in history has had the breadth and depth of controls that our UK government is in the process of imposing. Eat your heart out Joe Stalin, you've been outclassed by the Brits again!

What absolute guff.

Stalin killed millions of his own citizens. Our government is being overly zealous in trying to prevent terrorist attacks.

Get some perspective.

Blyth Golf Club are looking for a steward, if you're looking to get licensed to sell victuals, Denzel.

sound bited

When you do that to the language, it makes the baby Jesus cry.

I think these are re-arranged fixtures, that have previously featured in the prediction selections. When they were postponed, the saved predictions were held in limbo until they re-appeared on the "coupon", as it were.

Rats have suitcases? Who knew?

Who needs Hugh Mcllvanney when such erudite and incisive analysis is available on our very doorsteps, eh?

Our doorsteps!

Thankyou Threegee.

HOW TO NOT GET YOUR POSTS MOVED IN 4 SIMPLE STEPS:

1, post in the correct forum

2, post in the correct topic

3, post something RELEVANT to the topic (unless in chat central)

4, Try not to digress too far from the topic (unless in chat central)

The chat in computer answers was just going too far. If someone asks a question, and you get way off topic, its not gonna help anyone.

i do try to keep the relevant stuff there tho, if i do have to move a post, by way of a quote and a link to the origional thread.

Happy Posting!!! :D

(ps, i agree about the computer discussions bit, let non members browse, but not post, unless theres a way of auto-approving members posts.)

Maybe someone needs to get out more, yes?

John Terry, superstar. Looks like a woman and wears a bra

Before any of you smart alecs ask, no I wouldn't.

Excellent journalism from Sophie Doughty there, by the way.

1. Cut and paste the text from the Police press release/website.

2. Bung in three or four sentences from the paper's archives at the end.

3. Job done.

4. Whisky!

Bedlington woman jailed for breaching her ASBO

Breach of ASBO

03/02/2009

Rachel Hope, 24, of Red House Farm Estate, appeared before Bedlington magistrates on Monday (Jan 26).

Hope was originally given an ASBO on June 13, 2007, after repeated alcohol related anti-social behaviour.

Under the conditions of the ASBO she was forbidden to:

Be drunk in public

Be in possession of any open container of alcohol in public

Act in a disorderly manner

Use or threaten violence to any person

Cause harassment alarm or distress to any person

But on Friday, January 23, she visited the Bedlington Job Centre where she became verbally abusive and threatening to staff.

Police were informed and she was arrested and subsequently charged with breaching her ASBO in the Job Centre. She was also charged with assaulting a police officer after spitting at an officer while in custody, and criminal damage to police cells.

Hope was kept in custody over the weekend and on Monday, January 26, she was sentenced to 12 weeks imprisonment by South East Northumberland Magistrates. She was also ordered to serve 12 weeks consecutively for a previously suspended sentence (from Bedlington Magistrates on January 12) for a previous breach of the same ASBO.

Bedlington Neighbourhood Sergeant John Heaton welcomed the sentence. He said: "This pleasing result is due to the speedy investigation of a complaint by the neighbourhood team at Bedlington.

"The behaviour displayed by Hope against public servants was completely unacceptable. Members of the public can rest assured that we will do all in our power to bring before the courts people who deliberately cause Anti Social Behaviour and are a public Nuisance".

"This court result is a clear indication of the ability to deal quickly and effectively with people who are on ASBO's. We will continue to use this tool to further reduce Anti Social Behaviour against people who are a clearly causing problems in our neighbourhoods."

Side-stepping the obvious hand-wringing about "binge drinking" and that, what troubles me is that, given the opportunity, I probably still "would".

Pete strikes me more as an erstwhile "Sounds" reader.

Tell them to stop hitting Judy and feeding their baby on sausages too.
