The complete bo**ocks, talk tripe, no music allowed thread
I think you're absolutely right on being against all forms of bullying - and I agree with you too that, based on what was shown, I'm also rather surprised at just how everyone who saw the Clips were then so quick to be full of praise for Jackie Weaver - when most of them probably have no idea at all as to the backstory to it all. It did also look very abrupt and extremely rude to me too to just cut off and remove anyone who was trying to interrupt and to disrupt things. She acted as she did because they had already been warned in the previous Meeting and before this Meeting as well, and so she knew exactly what they were doing by trying to declare the Meeting to be illegal and by trying to enforce their own authority over the proceedings.
Only those in the know, will have realised that that was the very reason that she had been directed by the East Cheshire Council to set up, facilitate, and to ensure that this Meeting came about and was seen through.
Some local bright sparks have apparently changed some of the Village signs this week ;o> ...

I do Suzy. I know this is going to sound a bit rubbish, but I genuinely didn't know how to use a swing until after I got married. Also in answer to a recent question you asked, and totally changing the subject, this is my daughter's first child. My other daughter had a boy nearly 3 years ago. When people email me from Goodreads threads, if I try and reply from email to email, I get a notice saying it hasn't sent. So to you and anyone else reading this, please don't think me rude if I don't reply straight away.
Awww, a Grandson and now a Grand-daughter as well! - thanks to both of your lovely Daughters ;o> ... ;o> ... ;o>

Gladys as in Gladys Berejiklian? ... or will any other Gladys do? ;o>
I think Sportsbet would be fairly confident that no Gladys will get a mention. I am heartily sick of having "gold-standard" Gladys (Liberal) thrown at us Victorians. She has shrugged off any number of issues that would have caused the demise of any other government. When questioned about blatant pork barrelling, she answered "So what? Everybody does it." She's right of course but that doesn't make it acceptable and it's not the sort of answer I want to hear from any politician.
'pork barrelling' ... ?!! ... ;oOAs it's you who brought that term up, Val, I'm thankfully sure that it will be something safe to Google for a definition of - even if it does sound far more like something extremely rude that Mr B and Serial, in particular, might be very interested in discussing further! - LOL!!! ;o>
I know, it just gave me a giggle on reading it, Val - LOL!!!I blame all of the naughty Boys on here for so often making me think twice before I dare to Google anything these days! ;o> ... ;o> ... ;o>
'pork barrelling'danger of splinters i imagine. nor would i care to sample the whisky cask aged in one of those! a fine malt is 'firemahduffin'!
Terrible that we delicate ladies have to check everything. At least it's not bloody ''zon!
"extremely rude that Mr B and Serial, in particular" - thank you for the distinction between the gutter and the fetid sewer suzy!
I'm definitely not that delicate a Lady ... (*giggles*) ... although I do have a set of standards and boundaries that I always like to keep within whenever I am online ;o>I'm just getting increasingly bemused that, whenever I use Google for a definition of a Word or to look up a turn of Phrase these days, I so often keep on finding that there somewhere down the Page if I keep on scrolling is also an 'Urban Slang' definition in the Search Listings - ones that invariably involves some kind of elaborate sex act?!
I'm not entirely sure though as to just how genuine that they actually are? Whether I really am getting to be that old these days and that out of touch with the Language of da yoof of today now? Or whether it's just another one of those rather naughty and often explicit ways that some people have discovered that they can use to 'sabotage' Searches on the Internet with spoof definitions? ;o>
Hmmmm, let me ponder that a moment; am I sorry I retired from teaching? Am I f......
Good to see the kind, benevolent, approachable, friendly Minister for all our justice, safety and security needs has reached a six figure settlement and is surely a rehabilitated person. What's that? Building more detainment centres for refugee women? What? Lost 400,000 criminal records? What? Failed to alert European authorities of 75,000 convictions. Gosh, imagine if we had someone bad at their job in charge! Liberty, fraternity and fuckyoubuddy!

I paid my utilities bill last week but today received one for .05pence. The email kindly offers help with this bill but I think I'll manage. They don't accept less than £2 so stuff them.
Is that £0.05 ie 5p or is it 0.05p le a tiny fraction of a penny?
you'd think, living in falkirk, where every penny's a prisoner...........

A Yorkshireman went to the vets, concerned about his cat. "Is it a tom?" asked the vet.
"Nay, lad, ah've brought it wi' me".

Same here. I thought a Jewish friend of mine would appreciate it. He's very secular and has a quirky sense of humour. He told me he wasn't into rabbis or rabbits so he had to get his wife to explain it to him!
Was listening to the Leeds v Chelsea game on Talksport yesterday, when the co commentator remarked that one of the players was " mourning his cat". When questioned on what he meant, he replied that it was a Northern expression referring to somebody whose shorts were hanging low, (half mast?) Just wanted to know if anyone is familiar with that expression?
frequently said to my mates and i if the jeans were rolled up to expose the (full glory of the) docs - "hus yur cat deid, big man?"think it's to do with a flag at half mast, denoting a death. folk probably wouldn't say "hus yur maw deid?" for fear of offending, but cats are fair game.

Give your old shit to Keech. Wonder if they have any jobbies going in their shops?

Fair enough Suzy, I'm always against bullying in any form. The way she was portrayed in the link that I posted did make her look incredibly smug though, that said it also only showed half the story and perhaps she had every right to be.
