Many would take a very dim view of being forced to do so. And if that means far fewer tit-for-tat posters at election time, and less money wasted on focus groups, then so be it," he says.<BR/><BR/>Couldn't have, and didn't, put it better myself.a bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671179950601465948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14391684.post-1142914214424885382006-03-21T04:10:00.000+00:002006-03-21T04:10:00.000+00:00Errr, thanks for that, new screen-name pending.......Errr, thanks for that, new screen-name pending.... <BR/><BR/>keeping the tone nice and high.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14391684.post-1142892440422099952006-03-20T22:07:00.000+00:002006-03-20T22:07:00.000+00:00Homophobic jokes?A mate of mine came up with a gre...Homophobic jokes?<BR/><BR/>A mate of mine came up with a great 'un the other. Picture the scene.<BR/><BR/>A friend was just going on about how she'd been to a gay bar with her gay male friend, even though she's straight, and a few others said that they'd been too.<BR/><BR/>Then she mentioned the 6 quid entry fee, which had me questioning, "why not just go to another pub where they don't charge an entrance fee?!"<BR/><BR/>Apparently, it's not a bar, it's a <B>club</B> - but I still don't see the attraction...<BR/><BR/>Conversation continued and they were all talking about how great this bar was, and how they'd like to sneak in. And so the following rung out to the eventual climax:<BR/><BR/>"Sweet-talk the bouncer..."<BR/><BR/>"Climb in the window."<BR/><BR/>"Dig a tunnel"<BR/><BR/>...<BR/><BR/>...<BR/><BR/>"<B>Break in the back door!!*</B>"<BR/><BR/>Although I suppose you had to be there...<BR/><BR/><I>*For those not in the know, "breaking in one's back door" is a reference to buggery</I>Lord Pasternackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13270092828810845133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14391684.post-1142861400043101032006-03-20T13:30:00.000+00:002006-03-20T13:30:00.000+00:00Feet any better yet Edward?All my Love Peter XFeet any better yet Edward?<BR/><BR/>All my Love <BR/><BR/>Peter XAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14391684.post-1142817159411028382006-03-20T01:12:00.000+00:002006-03-20T01:12:00.000+00:00Liars, cheats and thieves That's my summary.

Perhaps they could try spending less money and getting on with their jobs, rather than setting up a taxpayer-funded subsidy for PR companies.a bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671179950601465948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14391684.post-1142762901127985422006-03-19T10:08:00.000+00:002006-03-19T10:08:00.000+00:00Grassy knowl - please do get started!
