I listened to that on Radio 2. I always thought northerners were good for a laugh, but the ones ringing in to complain, had a complete sense of humour failure.
Nothing wrong with travelling around the country for work, I used to do it. Can be a lot of fun :twisted:

i love our country i think it is so stunningly beautifull
fell in love with devon last year have driven through before on route to cornwall but actually stayed on the north coast last year in appledore it was really pretty
Good choice, not that I'm biased
For me the best city in the UK is Edinburgh. great people, beautiful city, and loads to do.
With work I have travelled in and lived all over the country, my favourite county is Devon, not that i'm biased :lol:
It's lacking in nightlife compared to the big cities, but it makes up for it, with the varied countryside, numerous beaches, and generally more relaxed way of life.

Our part of the country was the first to take part in the digital switchover, and I wish we hadn't, and would prefer analogue.
A lot of people that had perfectly good tv, now suffer from signal breakdown during a programme, or no signal at all.
If you live on the Devon coast facing Wales, you ended up with Welsh programmes, instead of your local ones.
So I think Digital is pants

Brown has less backbone than a jellyfish.

Thatcher was what this country required at the time, a strong PM that was prepared to take on the unions. Britain was widely regarded as "the sick man of Europe" with an appalling industrial record. If Scargill had not been the arse that he was and had not been determined to bring the government down, the outcome of the UK's mining industry may have been somewhat different. Scargill was just as bloody minded as Thatcher and did as much damage to the mining industry as she did. Unfortunately, like all governments that are in power too long, Thatcher lost her way and had to go but to blame her for the greed of today is laughable. She may well have been instrumental in the sale of council houses but there is nothing wrong with anyone wanting to own their own home, the lack of new social housing has been a major factor in house price inflation. The current government has been in power for 10 years and has not addressed this problem. Also, the rise of the buy to let market has flourished under this government which has also helped stoke house price inflation.
It's amazing that when Brown was Chancellor and enjoying what we now know was a mythical boom period, the Labour Government were quick to heap the praise for the boom onto the "prudent" chancellor but now that the reality has dawned, the problems are passed off as being due to " global situation". The cause of this global situation was entirely down to the reckless trading of banks and Brown was the major player in the complete deregulation of the banks in the UK, thus paving the way for the recklessness that ensued.
The legacy of Brown ( and Blair) will live long after this generation, as our kids and then their kids will be still be paying for their mistakes.
Totally agree with all that.
I was no fan of Maggie, i remember drinking champagne to toast her leaving
Now i look back in amazement, thinking she was the best of the bunch :shock:
She had a spine, and was good on the world stage, although not so good at home affairs.
From hating her with a vengence, i have been known to utter recently, i wish Maggie was in power. I hang my head in shame, but it shows what a complete waste of space, Brown / Nu labour are.

Seems to be an increasing internal threat, with more of these cases all the time.
The information is out there for those are disturbed and disafected with the world.
If he had gone through with it i'm assuming he would have targeted a mosque. Looking at the ingredients mentioned, it would have been a more flash bang type bomb, depending on the size. Most likely resulting in burns, rather than a life threatening explosion. Still not nice if your on the receiving end.

Here, this is the kind of crap that bugs me. If the Powers That Be are going to send people off to risk life and limb (and sanity), for good reasons or not, the least they can do is make sure nothing goes wrong at their end.
Isn't the enemy already trying to kill us hard enough?
Sometimes it seems that way.
In Iraq people were " led " to believe he had WMD. He hindered the weapons inspectors at every opportunity. He deliberatly played the game, where by obstructing them, that he had something to hide. We all know he was playing a game, which he ended up being the biggest loser. Had he of co-operated the invasion would probably never have taken place.
He at times treated NATO like idiots, but he ended up not laughing but swinging.
Sadam deliberately gave the impressions of WMD, due to his fear of another Iran / Irag war. He wanted Iran to fear Iraq. He also used the power of Iraq having WMD to keep him in power and influence the power he had ovre the people of Iraq.
As for Afganistan there WERE and still are training camps in operation. Those training camps were teaching the Taliban to kill people, and to train them to bomb the west.
The Taliban as such, are not a threat to the west. You wont find one hopping on a boat to Blighty. The media use the word Taliban to describe all Afghan insurgents / terrorists. The training camps that are there, (most have now moved to parts of Africa / pakistan) are to train mainly moslem extremists
IF we all want peace and security in this country, fear from being blown to bits on a bus or a train, then those camps and the men that are there, must be defeated.
Anyone who thinks differently then look at footage of 9/11 where people are jumping to their deaths, or the victims of that bus bomb where bits of people were splattered hundreds of yards into walls. Or the people who suffered so terribly on the underground trains. Can you imagine that fear?
Or the Bali bombings or the Madrid bombings.
9/11 and Bali had nothing to do with Afgahnistan.
All terrible acts of violence by these people whose only aims are to destroy our own way of life. If we do not stop them how long before the next bomb? How long before a another group of "British" extremists walk out of their front doors, with explosives attatched to their backs, ready to kill innocents just for " their cause ". Whatever that is.
Not only do we have the enemy in Afganistan but more worrying than that, is people born and bred in the UK, who want to kill us. So much for tolerance.
This war has to be won both here and in Afganistan, if we are ever to have peace and security in our lives. If that is not achievable then bring our troops home. Take the chains off of our troops and let them do the " job " they are trained to do. Without hinderance from the Human rights brigade. In war casualties are inevitable and that includes civilians. Stop pussyfooting around and go there with a rod of iron, and finish it.
With equipment that is not up to the job, and helicopters that do not work properly, is it any wonder our troops are struggling. If this Government really want to see our troops from being killed, then give them the right and proper tools for the job. No rules no arguements. Go in hard with no restrictions, and see how quick this war could be won.
Then see the PC brigade complain from the highest rooftops
It is like anyone of us trying to fight Mike Tyson blindfolded. Yes you may land one punch before he knocks ya head off.

I don't think violent crime is any worse than before.
More a case of the media using what crime there is to sell papers, and in some cases those in power perhaps painting a slighter blacker picture to obtain / maintain funding levels.
If your unlucky, or in the wrong place at the wrong time, you will experience bad things, and that will effect your viewpoint.
Looking at crime historically, nothing has changed.
'They ran the grimy streets of Manchester and filled the city's courts and police cells, while the media described their codes and gang names in lurid detail - the Bengal Tigers, the Meadow Lads and the She Battery Mob.
But this wasn't another outbreak of modern gun crime, teenage stabbings or hoodie trouble-making. The 'scuttlers', as the whole of Britain learned to know and detest them, were a serious social problem in the 1870s and 80s. '
'They took over music halls, openly paraded with home-made weapons and staged fights where more than 500 young people took part.'
'The sheer number of young teenagers filling the newly-built Strangeways prison and other jails - led Manchester city council to petition the then home secretary for the return of flogging to punish violent crime.'

Has everyone forgot that Farrah Faucet also died on the same day as Michael Jackson, nothing much was said about that and the woman died from cancer. Also Ed McMahon an American comedian and game show host.
I think we all know that but....think Jacko was a tad more well known.
I cannot think of anything other than Charlies Angels that she done, except looking very pretty.
It stands to reason that Jacko will get all the airtime and publicity.
Think thats a bit harsh, although not an amazing actress, In her day she was everywhere
Farrah Fawcett (February 2, 1947 – June 25, 2009) was an American actress. A multiple Golden Globe and Emmy Award nominee, Fawcett rose to international fame when she first appeared as private investigator Jill Munroe in the TV series Charlie's Angels in 1976. Fawcett later appeared off-Broadway to the approval of critics and in highly rated television movies in roles often challenging (The Burning Bed, Nazi Hunter: The Beate Klarsfeld Story, Poor Little Rich Girl: The Barbara Hutton Story, Margaret Bourke-White) and sometimes unsympathetic (Small Sacrifices). Fawcett was also a pop culture figure whose hairstyle was emulated by millions of young women and whose poster sales broke records, making her an international sex symbol in the 1970s and 1980s. While her impact was particularly strong on the teens of the 1970s, her appeal spreads over multiple generations.
