Is anybody actually watching?

[Dave2002]

You know what I'm asking about!

[MrGongGong]

I'll get banned if I say what i'm thinking

NEED WHISKY

[Dave2002]

I didn't know you drank it!

He actually knew about this gig weeks ago, he just didnt tell anybody because he wanted to be the only board member there......

edit: Watching what , exactly?

[Dave2002]

Piglet: "If you see what I mean, Pooh,"
Pooh: "It's just what I think myself, Piglet,"
Piglet: "But, on the other hand, Pooh, we must remember,"
Pooh: "Quite true, Piglet, although I had forgotten it for the moment."

Not watching.
Slanging, insulting, talking across each other, talking to prescribed / learnt phrases agreed by spinners beforehand.
Reduces politics to slogans.

Yes, I am hiding from the self-obsessed, self-seeking speakers of quarter truths because I hate knowing that by even voting I will be sucked into connivance in feeding the maw of such men and women. I trust none of them.

Nations survive whoever 'rules'.

I'm in purdah, so I couldn't possibly comment.

(But I did watch )

[MrGongGong]

Surely telling straightforward lies on TV in something presented as "factual" should have some legal consequences?

It's all pretty toe-curling.

Whatever one thinks, though, this made me smile:

I always thought his bark to be worse than his bite.

I switched on the election talent show, saw Farage spouting usual pernicious rubbish and immediately retreated to BBC2 where I watched a programme about the Australian coastline which was most enjoyable and which I otherwise might not have bothered with. So I have cause to be grateful him.

Actually, it grieves me to say it, but at times 'Nigel' came across as the most instantly credible.

The trouble is that he has all the right questions but all the wrong answers.

'Nick' did well again, 'Ed' sometimes looked like the proverbial rabbit trapped in the glare of headlights, and 'David' was his usual blustering, trying-to-turn-defeat-into-victory self.

At the clear risk of being accused as patronising, I thought the three ladies done well, though I've never really been a huge fan of 'Nicola'. In fact, she frightens me to death.

Contrary to received wisdom I think the Aussie leader of the Greens (sorry, can't remember her name) sounds much more convincing than the previous eyelash-fluttering one called 'Caroline'.

But then again I've always been a bit of an oddball ...

Hiya P. G. Tipps,

I don't know what it's like anywhere else but in the North of England the issues of immigration and EU membership are massive things, more than enough to make voters vote UKIP I reckon. Another thing is the anti-fracking lobby which has become huge too. I reckon that the Conservative especially and Labour and Lib/Dems will lose votes to other parties through these issues with UKIP and Independent parties being the beneficiaries.

Hmmm, pedant's corner, unless I'm very much mistaken, this tree is an evergreen or holm oak Quercus ilex, native to the Mediterranean and an import to the UK for parks and collections - from whence it has escaped, taking the jobs of our native trees
