  1. Is really calling half of the US population 'crazies' a clever move? Oh, I apologise for using the word 'clever' when referring to the vice president of the United States.

  2.  @Spartan-oj9dc  What is really despicable is the manner in which Harry Markle and his keeper deliberate made his grandparents' twilight years miserable.

  4. For those who saw Blackadder III, I swear his personality is modelled on that of the Prince Regent, as played by Hugh Laurie.

  5. Is there some rule in the United States, of which a foreigner like myself may be unaware, that senior politicians in the Democrat party must be either incoherent, mentally impaired, or both?

  6. As a Briton, I also wish that British settlers had never landed in Australia. If you lot hadn't taken up cricket, I would never have misjudged a bouncer from a very quick Aussie professional in a club game a few years ago, and lost four front teeth as a result. Mind you, I would probably have been equally capable of misjudging a similar delivery from a West Indian or South African instead. My ineptitude as an opening bat knew no limits!

  7. Anyone remember the 'My Lovely Horse' episode of 'Father Ted' where the organisers are desperate to ensure that Ireland doesn't win, and thus pick the worst possible entry? It seems that the BBC took it as their inspiration.

  13. Showing the clips from 2020, where Biden seems both coherent and rational, only shows, when compared with the Biden of today, how much his mental state has deteriorated.

  15. Of course not. They got precisely the sort of response they (or rather their leaders) desired,

  16. How odd that the President of Brazil has a better grasp of English than the President of the United States. Mind you, I think my cat could run Biden close.

  27.  @shezza2191  If by 'we' you mean 'maori' then presumably you would not extend rights to European settlers? By extension, I assume you would also discard European medicine, science, and education? Or would you simply choose to retain the benefits of western culture, whilst bleating incessantly about it?

  29.  @kevwiz369  It does seem odd that Azeem Rafiq's memory was considerably sharpened when his contract with Yorkshire ended. I notice, also, that Michael Holding is on Vaughan's case. Equally odd that he was happy to sit in the commentary box with him for years.

  33. @Blue You think that the Queen had any involvement in 'colonisation?' Indeed, have you any idea of what colonialism actually involved? I assume you are from the United States? If European settlers had never reached the Americas, what would the New World have looked like today? A largely agrarian land, sparsely occupied by peoples with a neolithic level of culture, science, and society. I assume you benefit from the results of the colonialism you affect to detest? You are clearly a hypocrite. Or perhaps simply an ignoramus?

  34.  @turnerfamilyinozi  Largely because the colour of the constructors (actually, Stonehenge was built in several phases over hundreds of years) was never an issue, of course. Have you heard of Aristotle? A maxim attributed to him says :- 'Give me a child until he is 7 and I will show you the man.' Teachers are using books of this sort to indoctrinate children at nursery & primary schools. That is why people should care.

  35. I have one of my old cricket bats (a Gunn & Moore Maestro, cracked years ago when I, for once, managed to middle one of my shots) by the door. I wonder if this intellectual giant would have thought it quite such a prank if I had used it on him had he entered my house. I would, of course, have rolled my wrists first, to keep the shot down. I wouldn't, of course, have used a new bat. Far too expensive to replace!

  40. You are being unfair. She is too modest and unassuming to reveal the true facts, which are that the building was a blazing inferno, the Fire Services thought it too dangerous to enter, yet she bravely rescued, single handedly, 45 people from certain death, without even chipping a nail. There is a movie in production at the moment, starring Meghan Markle.

  41. It was actually built in several phases, over several hundred years. It must have been hard work for the Africans, having to fly backwards and forwards bringing in new materials.

  42. Remarkable! Probably the least sincere and most contemptuous 'tribute' since our very own Tony Blair used to refer to any British lieutenants killed in action in one of his wars as 'lootenants' in the House of Commons. By the way, is it my mistake, or do her eyes look 'odd?'

  43. If this Harris person is considered, potentially, to be fit to be President of the United States, then my decision to let a nine year old re-wire the house looks increasingly like a sensible one. I must go now, as I can smell burning.

  44. Isn't it fortunate that, when the alleged text from William arrived, a Netflix cameraman just happened to be filming? Does anyone really believe, by the way, that William would be stupid enough to send something to the Markles which they could later use against him?

  45. I suspect that was more to protect Charles from the risk of being alone with Harry Markle. Who knows what RAYCIST!!!! remarks Harry could have claimed Charles made, without independent witnesses?
