^^Second that.

I have an opinion that I try to keep to myself unless a conversation is swaying one way then I'll try to bring it back to the middle.

All of the propaganda in the media is the most frustrating part of all this.

Sorry may have been a bit of rant but I was trying to chill out at lunch break and people your not evening wanting to talk too are banging on about the EU referendum non stop.

Idiots who put "no offers" on adverts.

What, so I can't offer you the asking price? How you going to sell it twatface if people can't offer you any money for it? Eh?

YOU'VE NOT THOUGHT IT THROUGH, HAVE YOU? :@

Boris fecking Johnson. What a spineless, pathetic, two dimensional cockwomble!

He had the balls to allegedly lie and cheat his way to a leave vote and then no bollocks to carry it through. Bottom of the barrel politician - at least he won't be prime minister. Twunt.

You want to do some reading on this issue. It sounds like Gove managed to get the knives out during the referendum campaign and royally stitched Boris up.

Comments still stand. Yes he would have had to fight Gove during the leadership campaign but he ducked out.

Frankly its a good thing as he should never become Prime Minister in my opinion. I'd vote labour rather than do that (and i've never done that). Good luck to him now.

Gove is a nasty piece of work, his treatment of Johnson doesn't surprise me, anyone that followed his progress in Dept of Education knows what a callous B'stard he is.

Agreed - he has gone up slightly in my estimation as he's shafted Boris :). I'm all for Teresa May to be PM tbh.

It's a case of which snake do you want to bite you? May's no angel. Her husband is a big wig with G4S which is why she's not into civil liberties.

This ^^

But fwiw I suspect that Boris's "disappointment" was all part of the act. I believe that he will be hugely relieved that Gove offered up an opportunity for him to pass over on the poisoned chalice.
If he comes out as top backstabber in the forthcoming skirmish, then Gove will be the fall guy; the PM forever remembered for pressing the button. He will serve a short term, & then retire into some well paid consultancy....

Other road users who fail to move over when the road is clearly free for them to pull in to let me past, why the feck do they feel the need to speed up rather than pull over......twats!

shite council contractors - rewired my flat , got trunking everywhere , didn't remove any of the old fittings just put new ones in , also put an extra smoke alarm in the kitchen, it goes off every time I boil the kettle , had to completely rearrange the kitchen to find a spot where the kettle doesn't set it off and the whole flat now needs redecorating

Ah....but you did it right mate. Had the same problem with a smoke detector and for the same reason, fecker would go off for nowt at all...had to move it out the kitchen entirely. And the same with re-wiring, which is a PITA, because according to current regs. the newer shittier quality cables are better than the old one's which lasted 60 years without a problem.

OK...maybe just one problem..but it was a small one, and I put it out quickly. Soot marks are a bitch to get out though.

Pricks who start to overtake you then decide they're going to fast so they hang in your blind spot.

Make your fecking mind up :@

Get one of those little dinky convex mirrors that stick to your regular mirror....they're great for that sort of thing. Rear visibility was always a problem when my last truck was loaded down on a morning. The small round adjustable types work the best.

It's very rare for me to drive a car. In fact I've never owned one. Not in my name anyway.
