You're welcome - always glad to add absolutely no value whatsoever to a threadOriginally posted by shaunbhoy View Post
your point is fairly weak. But thanks for getting involved in the debate. Until your vacuous contribution, aside from sas and scooter, the lower rungs of the intellectual ladder were being poorly represented.

Of the large number of people that did vote though I wouldn't put it past at least 20% being of a similar ilk to this man. Just like I wouldn't put it past students to steal all the postal votes in their dorms and then fill them all in for remain - swings and roundabouts.

Not saying I'm a Blair lover, I was too young to give a tulip about politics back then; just demonstrating said persons complete lack of thought.Originally posted by Mordac View PostThis chap sports a remarkable lack of imagination, in that he could only think of two. The only single solitary positive thing Gordon Brown ever did for this country was to hinder Bliar's determination to adopt the Euro. You may wish to consider the fact that Bliar is almost singularly responsible for Brexit, since it was he who opened our doors when the rest of Europe was being a bit more bureaucratic. There's two more for now, and we can get started on the hypocrisy later if you want some more.

There's a super hardcore brexiteer in the office here who is currently saying how fantastic it is that house prices are falling, interest is going up and how he was going to get a better house right at the end of the market crashing and that his ISA would get a better rate as a result of extra interest.
... What he failed to realise was that his house would also, in turn, be worth less. (or worthless, depending on how you look at it).
Same person also sports a hatred of Tony Blair - I was curious to why and the only two things he could verbalise were the Iraq war and the IRA amnesty...
And that ladies and gentlemen, is what we are dealing with.

Or at least it might be, if one assumed that all 17.4 million people that voted Leave were somehow cloned.Originally posted by mattfx View Post

Don't you find people who constantly brag about how much money they've got so be so very common and tedious? I'm guessing your chip comes from your family being working class very poor and having an impoverished upbringing, which gives you the need to non-stop mention that you have a timeshare in Portugal and have maxed out your ISA allowance, or wherever you stash your incredible wealth.Originally posted by sasguru View PostNot really. Have enough to retire on if I was forced to.
