Welcome

Do you have honey roasted nuts

I cant say that with a straight face

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Rufus I get the feeling it's the virtual equivalent of The Fighting Cocks

On a tangent Roman, I used to actually BE a bone fide 'Fighting Cock'

(Was the nickname of one of the Sqns I worked on when in the RAF - 43(F)Sqn)

Pic of our badge attached...

GLORIA FINIS !!!

"So we are basically back to what I said earlier: the legitimacy according to you lies in the MP's own moral compass."

Yes that's right. That is the basis or our representative democracy. And not "according to me" I have not made it up to irritate you that is how the UK system of Parliamentary democracy works. You voted to retain and promote this system, I would like some liberalising ideas.

That is how the UK system of Parliamentary democracy works. If you don't like it we could join with Europe they have differing systems we could adopt.

This is the very little essence of UK Parliamentary democracy. If you don't like it campaign against it, but it is what it is at the moment.

Upsettingly for me, the fighting cocks are having their annual meet up/piss up in Edinburgh today & tonight and I'm not there
Gutted.

Why didnt you go mango

Coz it's in Edinburgh & I'm in Oxfordshire - am single mum now and I've got the kids tonight.
Boooooo...

Well its the having the kids bit thats the real problem there

Such a shame for you though

Coz I'm in a nostalgic fog now, here's a pic of the last F3 landed on 43 before we disbanded in 2009 - we couldn't get a cock costume, so one of the lineys dressed as a chicken instead.

You can just make out my legs & feet behind the aircraft if you look hard enough!
(I was doing see-in stuff at that point so wasn't in the pic proper unfortunately).

I see the legs!!!!!

Bit of: nonsense. Ridiculous. Their legitimacy is drawn from their election by a majority: not the quality of their character. Otherwise any person who thought they were really great could just ask to be installed in the job. Maybe they could ask a judge or something. And a judge would say yes you have a great moral compass, you can be an MP. Under your rules that would be legitimate.

I see legs ! Knock out chicken

MangoMoon I suspect your Fighting Cocks were much more glorious than the one I was thinking of - anyone that stayed in a particular NE city in the 80s / 90s will know what I mean.

Nice chicken suit, BTW

Is that how Blair got in then, Cherie and her dad and all that?

My dog is terrified of the fireworks but tries to pretend she isn't. She cowers under the chair but wags her tail. Such a fake.

My cat's gone awol WW - she's a proper fanny!

Mango - I feel an off the cuff Scottish theme night is needed in here tonight then . I'm off to the duke box to select some Proclaimers and see if Surfer can rustle something up on the food front. Have a large one of these

WW - what you or I think or believe or want is irrelevant. We vote for MPs who then represent us. We hand over power to them. So the character of the MP is vital.

You don't like this system, fine, but that is how representative democracy works. You can say nonsense, ridiculous, ludicrous but that is how the UK system of parliamentary democracy works.

This is not opinion it is how the UK Parliamentary democracy works.

We have a moral duty to respect the referendum result.
Anything else will result in anarchy.
No peace loving person wants that.

Lol at the proclaimers!

They used to play 500 miles at Mardi's in Dundee at the end of every Saturday night in the late 90s - the crowd went wild every week without fail

We vote for MPs

Eureka

I'll have a celebratory glass of moettttte

I'll have a white pudding supper with my vodka & irn bru!

Who said I don't like the system? What a weird thing to suggest

Imma drink the champagne anyway

WW - don't be going all Kanye with your immas!
