Today I'm angry about.....

ahhh - I see - Hoboh IS living in the 19th Century! all becomes clear!

I'm sure we must own a lump of rock somewhere we can deport the unwanted to,couple of helicopter gunships off shore to guard it, shark infested waters, job sorted.

No sharks, but Rockall would fit the bill perfectly.

I think you could probably do without the gunships and sharks as a nod in the direction of progressive liberalism.

It's all a nice idea but
a) deport is the wrong word for a UK citizien (unlawful confinement would be closer to this suggestion), and
b) until convicted of a crime he has a citizen's right to freedom of movement within the jurisdiction.
So you need to find what law he has broken and then get him convicted. Rockall would not be a bad spot for a new maximum security prison though it might be hard to find warders....

The reason I suggested Rockall, was to get round the deportation problem. He would of course still have complete right to freedom of movement. I think Ireland is the nearest location he could get to. We probably wouldn't need many warders. If we opened it as a police station, he could be released without charge, without having committed an offence.

I'm all in favour if its agreed that all Daily Mail journalists/columnists have to live there too. I think we can all climb on board with that idea.

Now that's an idea - make him arrange his own transport home. Not that easy to land on Rockal (or build a police station I suppose).

On that basis, I'm still in.

But then they would be concentrated and Richard Littlejohn might mate with Jan Moir.

Electric fences and compulsory sterilisation. Make them wear a Daily Star on all their clothes in case they escape.

They're always papping on about how the past is better, let them experience a bit of it.

The ongoing drip-drip of the Republican violence in Northern Ireland.

I don't need telling that it's a complex issue, and that despite the 'peace' there has been continuing intimidation and incidents. There does seem to be an increased tempo however.

At least last night this guy's attempt failed and he's, hopefully, very badly injured ...

[boltonboris]

I hope he survives, but with severely debilitating injuries.

The whole concept of fire or bombs is that of madmen. They injure and kill people who have nothing to do with politics and believe they're some sort of warriors with a cause? If the Irish problem ever gets solved at all, it won't be fire-bombs or any other boms that solve it. Setting
fire to a golf shop in broad daylight....wtf?

Light bulbs.

After the great green con and having all sorts of bulbs banned we were consigned to bulbs which "warm up" before they properly illuminate. Then we discover that they can't be environmentally disposed of due to some constituent trace element.

Oh, and shouldn't be used with dimmer-switches apparently.

Then halogen bulbs, lower power for equal or greater light ... about 5x more expensive than previous ones but rest assured they will last for years. Most boasted a 5 year life, I recall. .... well they fckg don't last 5 years. They blow at the same, if not quicker, rate than the old ones do.

Grrrrr.

Abso-fecking-lutely.

By the way, B&Q do a box of 20 Halogen bulbs for about £15.00

shop up the road from me is still selling the proper old-style 100watt bayonet bulbs... am stockpiling them!

Whilst you're passing can you pick one up for me and drop it over please Bobo? One went in our living room today, its a bit dark and gloomy and I can't get up to go to the shop as the cat is sitting on my lap. I'll make you a cup of tea - and if you fit it to there might even be a chocolate biscuit in it for you...

[boltonboris]

Open the curtains!

[Gooner Girl]

Open the curtains!

I did but it's grey dark and rainy in Sussex this morning. And normally I try to be dressed before opening them to avoid giving passers by a fright.

...Plastic banknotes. Yuck.

...Plastic banknotes. Yuck.

I'll have all the ones you don't want.

Fair enough... first dibs and all that. I'll be on Yuan then no doubt.
