Costa Coffee does the world a favour

Yeah, right. Sure you weren't standing in front of a full length mirror?

:-)

Yes. I do not have any yellow socks.

I rather admire Mr Richard's music career. He does what he does, has made a good few bob from it, and he means no harm.

However, what I do take exception to is that he's a Labour Luvvie.

I take exception to him proclaiming himself such a virtuous Christian but releasing an album every year at christmas to maximise sales from the blue-rinsed brigade whilst brown nosing the rich and powerful at his lavish Caribbean retreat

"virtuous Christian" is an oxymoron. The rest was redundant.

"virtuous Christian" is an oxymoron.

Why?

good points, well made.

Giving Mr & Mrs B'Liar free holidays convinced me he was a poor judge of character.

I think an Obligatory Dwarfer quote is needed.:

Future Kryten: Kryten, we're epicures now. We travel through history enjoying the very best time has to offer.

Future Rimmer: Dolphin sweetmeats, roast suckling elephants, baby seal hearts stuffed with dove pate. Food fit for emperors!

Future Lister: We socialize with all of the greatest figures in history -- the Hapsburgs, the Borgias ...

Future Kryten: Why, only last week, Louis the Sixteenth threw a banquet especially in our honour.

Future Rimmer: The man is a complete delight -- urbane, witty, charming ...

Kryten: He was an idiotic despot who lived in the most obscene luxury while the working classes starved in abject poverty.

Future Rimmer: Well, we certainly didn't see any of that while we were there!

Future Kryten: And his wife's an absolute cutie.

Future Cat: I think they're our favourite hosts. If you don't count the Hitlers.

Kryten: The who?!

Future Rimmer: Providing you avoid talking politics, they're an absolute hoot.

Kryten: You're good friends with the Hitlers?!

Future Kryten: It's just a social thing. We don't talk about his work. We just have a few laughs, play canasta, and enjoy the odd game of mixed doubles with the Goerings.

Kryten: I don't believe what I'm hearing!

Future Rimmer: Look, you have to understand -- we travel back and forth throughout the whole of history, and naturally we want to sample the best of everything. It's just a bit unfortunate that the finest things tend to be in the possession of people who are judged to be a bit dodgy.

"virtuous Christian" is an oxymoron.

Why?

I draw your attention to the last 5 letters of the descriptive word used.

I can't stand his sickly sweet music. The most embarrassing moment in many a year was seeing my dad do a karaoke of 'summer holiday' in a restaurant in Rome a few years ago while wearing his favourite pringle sweater and yellow socks.

Totally impressed that you dad has a pair of sir Cliffs yellow socks and Cliffs favourite pringle sweater

[hyperD]

Never heard it and I don't want to.

What? "Ipso Bunny, we don't talk any more?"

Cliff Classic!
