“I see Steve bray was attacked I think yesterday. I think he is a pain in the neck but I think physically attacking him is out of order.”

Jesus, the guy is a noisy annoying twat, but that’s awful! No one should have that happen to them, I hope he is ok.

That song never fails to cheer me up walking.
Just like the 17million f..k offs

I see Steve bray was attacked I think yesterday. I think he is a pain in the neck but I think physically attacking him is out of order.
Good to know the WA will get royal assent soon. Is it really only 8 more sleeps.

I hope there is some protection brought in for child refugees. Although what it ever had to do with the WA I will never know

@NiceGuyNeddie , I've gone back to lurking now and then (although obviously not with this postGrin). I was going to drop in as soon as it opened but thought better of it. Hope you all keep out of the cold.

EpicIndividual · 22/01/2020 18:51

Dustys post and OP cover everything.

MrsSnippyPants · 22/01/2020 18:50

I like Iain Dale's podcasts with Jacqui Smith, informative and funny (and irreverent and occasionally smutty!)

Also Lindsay Hoyle is really showing up Bercow to have been the worse speaker in living memory.

Do I now watch the Trump Trial or Andrew Neil? Never been so much political choice.

NiceGuyNeddie · 22/01/2020 18:49

As for the rest of your post, I'm not wanting this thread to descend into goadiness & another bunfight so I think it's best left there now

Are you telling me not to post here? I'm sure you weren't but I'd like to be sure.

I would also hope that you don't want the term 'flashers' - which was confirmed previously by one of your group as denoting unwanted posters - to be used here

What Dusty said

EpicIndividual · 22/01/2020 18:42

Clearly I need to get my podcast act together then Boswell... where do I find them?

God. This is embarrassing. Blush I generally consider myself pretty up to date with the world. 😂

BoswellSolver · 22/01/2020 18:39

Um....YES!!! I never touch a household chore without one.

Oh! Good question Boswell... I have never listened to a podcast in my life. Am I missing out?

NiceGuyNeddie · 22/01/2020 18:37

I expect the one's you've remembered will let the others know, get the old gang together again.

So you would behave differently if you didn't feel that?

Sadly, that's the way of things at the mo with respect to GC stuff Neddie 🤷🏻‍♀️

But yes, I would speak much more freely on the topic if it weren't closely monitored from people outwith MN who have an agenda

BoswellSolver · 22/01/2020 18:36

Apart from Brexitcast, are there any good political podcasts I need in my life?? I never have time to read the papers, so take my news in audible form while I work.

EpicIndividual · 22/01/2020 18:35

Amen Copper. Amen. 😉🙌

EpicIndividual · 22/01/2020 18:35

Mine too Dusty, hopefully we can start to remember the names over the course of the evening...

NiceGuyNeddie · 22/01/2020 18:27

I hate it that we have to behave as I feel we are being watched.
But it is better than being deleted.

So you would behave differently if you didn't feel that?

Fortunately we have left behind a lot of flashers. Quite how that was managed I don't know but I am very grateful

Perhaps because they believed you'd had a stern enough warning to turn over a new leaf? Apparently they're wrong in that belief, going by your use of the term 'flashers'
