Always one to learn from Jake Thackeray. He also said something that both people this thread is about could learn from. "I cannot tolerate intolerance."

Bernard Wrigley summed up Mr Thackeray. "Anybody who can write a song with the opening line, "I love a good bum on a woman, it makes my day" must be a genius."

Number 6 has it right. I have just been in the garden, came back to google a plant I reckon is dying... and found myself looking at this thread again. Bridge is right too, I must be obsessed with something. Perhaps amazed at some of the tripe being served. Th*tcher and Palin meeting wouldn't really be a meeting of minds, and this thread isn't going to work out who can be most right wing with their comments. I may / might get a beer now.

Love my new name by the way Bridge. I will just refer to you as Bridge if that's ok. I can't top M'Unlearned Friend" or "Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! so won't try.
