Park Life

A common misconception, they out German the Germans but have a mad bent to them on consuming alcohol. Germany must be the only place in the world where a 5yr olds tell each other off about littering. I tell Parky Jnr everyday that she is English and will run rings round the Krauts when she gets older. Free spirited ranking: Holland Italy Finland England France Sweden Denmark Latvia Outer Mongolia Germany

Good article. What is he upto this boy?

What worries me is the proposed new voting powers which gives the big four a massive advantage. Undemocratic? You betcha!! It really is just like Eurovision then. So, that'll be a yes vote from you I take it.

Tories offering referendum on it.

Won in 92 with a dodgy side.

For a man standing alone between Europe and its future, Vaclav Klaus is playing hard to get. Last week a trip to Albania, this week Russia; the Czech president has performed a vanishing act just when he has the rest of Europe dancing to his tune. He relishes being at the centre of a showdown. But it appears he is currently more interested in selling copies of his tract on global warming denial. Last week, as a panicky campaign was launched in Berlin, Paris, Brussels, Stockholm, and Prague to try to force Europe's biggest renegade into line, Klaus was dining by the Adriatic. For five days he refused to return phone calls from Fredrik Reinfeldt, the Swedish prime minister and current EU president saddled with the Klaus emergency. Jan Fischer, the Czech Republic's caretaker prime minister, has an even less enviable task, as mediator between Klaus and the rest of Europe's leaders. But Klaus won't give him the time of day. Fischer admitted he had managed to get him briefly on the phone, but not to arrange a meeting." I think it's just him and the Irish now. Two countries stand alone against the tyranny of a Federal Europe.

*checks if Mrs P is asleep*

.....but trips and falls into the Watford gap.

Reality bites etc.....

JU 69 Junkers. He drops em where he likes.

But someone defending them over 20 pages passes the time innit?

Another one scratched from the facebook......

Thompers has the ability to be very funny, I say keep him.

or perhaps, and I know im going out on a limb here, its because when anyone disagrees with you you become an abusive spastic rather than holding a reasoned discussion afterall I'm not one of this core and I'm doing just fine thanks Or, I 'abused' (rofl at the term) people in retaliation because I tried to put a reasonable counter argument across about Keegan and got abused and called an Ashley lover etc, which is pretty much a disgusting insult, despite explaining my reasons were purely for the clubs benefit and nothing to do with Mike Ashley. If you were being 'clever' about KK - 2J probably banned modifyied you.

The Lord Jesus has many names

So, Jesus, Hova and jehova are all the same bloke?

Might as well have given it to Ashley.

If by 'politically' you mean he doesn't want real reform as much as wants to keep his political sponsors on side and ensure a second term, then I agree 100%.

Obama is the best of some pretty bad options, let's not lose sight of that.

didn't take long for mother teresa to arrive! Does it ever cross your mind that She was democratically elected again and again and again? Or is democracy only important when it suits YOUR agenda. She was universally (well, almost apparently) reviled in the North East though, and was effectively voted in with a block vote from the South East and Midlands who happened to benefit from her 'I'm alright Jack' philosophy. She caused untold misery in the North which we haven't, and probably never will, recover from, and she really couldn't give a shit who she hurt. Her vision of society (or rather, there is no society) was callous in the extreme. I take it you did OK alright under her though. So just for the record if the Tories had not been in power for 18 years, are you saying we would still have thriving coal mines. Steel works, and superb nationalised compaies? They might be thriving, they almost certainly wouldn't be superb. Most of Europe have protected their heavy industry through subsidy I believe. That doesnt work though im afaraid. If Labour had spent the last 10 years pumping billions into all these industries, where would the cash have come from? NHS, Schools etc etc. The same place the French and Germans get their cash from...more taxes. European countries repeatedly out perform the UK in the happiness stakes, we love to holiday there, yet we are a country of euroskeptics. Yup. Quality of life is in real terms better in Germany and for sure France. Depends where you live though I guess.

Yeah, it's Parky's fault. He didn't say why they were similarly dodgy. I know nothing about them tbf. I just tend to count all billionaires as dodgy.

So really, its all the fault of the Labour working class The first rule of fight club is??

i assume you're talking about selling of the council houses?? i dont know ANYBODY that did'nt make a profit out of that. Err..People who need affordable housing now?? what?, and you're blaming that on Thatcher? Correct me if i'm wrong but didnt the housing price 'boom' happen long after Thatcher had left office?? Moving swathes of public housing into private hands depleted the housing stock. Can't make it any clearer.
