chas Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Having watched the offerings on the T.V. last night and the antics and performances of our E.U.cousins, I am so glad at least we are seperated by nice deep water. As usual a complete farce in the voting system. The best idea I have is for a campaign to achieve the lowest marks, that will teach those Johnney forieners. >:-) Sorry for duplicating this topic , have just realized its been aired, thats staying up late( for me) and drowning my sorrows with the red stuff. 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonB Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Are you really a motorhomer Chas? Far from wanting deep water between us and the continent I would much prefer it if the M2 continued straight over, meaning we could get even quicker to this motorhome friendly area.

chas Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 Hi Ron B- Yes I am still learning the art of motorcaravaning, only 40years so far, as regards these friendly E.U countrys, I did not witness much on Saturday night with the voting it was plainly biased and unfair, but hey, it was only a tenth rate show, so no probs. Its quite obvious that most of these states, you know the ones, the ones we sent our soldiers to , to save many of them from genocide only like the United Kingdom when crowding our shores holding their benefit books up and demanding free schooling and accommodation. Rant over. >:-( chas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingpete Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Next years contest (?) invites N. African States to participate, as well as those in Middle East. Having had Israel winning on one accsion, the other States demand a hearing. Must find those bikers earplugs. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonB Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Lucky you Jackie. From where I live we inevitably have to use the M25/M2/M20 to get anywhere, unless we head for London that is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonB Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Chas. I think that you are blaming the wrong people, it's us that are the idiots. I have just listened to the news. We cannot afford the drugs to treat desperately ill people on the NHS - the next item 'disclosed' that the government had grossly underestimated the illegal immigration figures (by approx four times), again!

Guest starspirit Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Seeing as how I ain't Welsh I refuse to be intimidated by a scrum of sheep or their somewhat dubious admirers but having been to Hull (and Grimsby - if ever a town was aptly named) I can see the merits of not living there!

twooks Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 ah but Grimsby is in Lincolnshire - really weird stuff comes from there - or so I'm told. Hull - in addition to its ferry port - also has an excellent museum quarter - and a seriously flash public loo (lol) B-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet East Riding Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Excuse me! Miss Janet East Riding here. Although Hull is not in East Riding, what is all the Hull bashing about! There is a lot of good things in Hull, and there is a lot of regeneration going on, which given time will bring it back from years of neglect down to all the bombing from WW2. All the money went on London and Plymouth to rebuild after the war and Hull was forgoten. They lost almost 80% of their housing stock due to Mr Hitler and after the war there was little or no money spent on the city. But is slowly happening now. If you have any cash, then Hull is the next hot spot to buy property, it is still resonable at the moment but is rising. Cheers Janet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How Starspirit can come out with such crass and insensitive statements is totally beyond me. One can only assume that old age has not treated him kindly, but this still does,nt excuse such behaviour.

Guest starspirit Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I see Howie just because I disagree about rat poison it's get Richard time is it? You obviously have never been to Hull and that alone might be your only saving grace! When you compare the majesty of London and the magic of Plymouth you will understand why Hull was neglected and it shows remarkably good judgement on the part of government - something for which they are not renowned. You might find that Mel is no great admirer of Hull if you ask her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twooks Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Hull is really in the East Riding - just as Selby is really in the West Riding, - and there has always been a county called Rutland! just because some bunch of oikish southerners and a bakers boy from Brighton messed about with financial boundaries. .. . .. *-) B-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
