Thank you for your first ever post, and for sharing your ringing endorsement.

Personally, having seen how the said person has acted recently, I beg to differ.

Still, in the land of the blind, the one eyed man is King, and if someone of that low a stature appeals to you, so be it. Thankfully I have higher moral standards, and am more likely to endorse Rosemary West.

Now, here's your guide dog's lead, and careful as you go.

Ciao.

....and so very rude.

Normally we get a nice introduction.

Mummy, great aunt Fanny, fellow student at some great centre of learning...or even Hull.

Come on Rindy, gotta admit I was hoping for a bit more topic -focussed response rather than the easier 'friend' of Andrews attack

One rule for us then...
It was the talk of the wash house tonight....or in this case the Accy Web meet. The arbiitrary editing of posts to strengthen a woefully weak argument, if someone isn't quite in agreement.

Very noble, and very in the spirit of that noted libertarian and freedom fighter, David Davis.

Oh to put so a convincing argument, that I was as popular.

Let me focus my eyes a moment.

You're lucky I'm not posting Cantonese.

Besides, I think it's sweet, and certainly worth noting that someone actually agrees with him for a change...besides Mummy.

Yes.

Terribly 'unprofessional' of some people..

They should be thrown out of.............oh, wait.

What professional body are they a part of?

I don't know why, but I'm suddenly seeing a lovely box of buttons.

But sadly, some of those buttons aren't as shiny as they ought to be.

I'm just happy you actually picked up on the insults...that at least is some sort of progress.

Not entirely sure I said that I agreed with him, more disagreed with some of the posts that have been made.

I'll take part in any debate, and I always hope to maintain an open mind when a decent enough argument is made. Unfortunately, not as many people appear to be able to hold their side in a dignified and polite manner, something I have commented on whatever the title of the thread, or which side is posting

Sadly for us 'the opposition' don't feel able, besides those on the periphery or at the end of a phone line, to weather the swells and troughs of a debate on a public forum.

As opposed to you, I'm more than happy to see some members of one party at least try to answer our questions and worries.

As for manners, anyone that refers to someone at a public meeting as a 'silly cow', doesn't have any in my little book of manners.

Nor in mine, but having been brought up with the phrase ' if you have nothing good to say, say nowt', I think sometimes a dignified silence is the way to go. Or even just a silence in any case lol

That's funny.

I was hinting at something similar earlier in the thread, when I said I'd do the P.R. for Councillor Britcliffe.

'The next time you chose to ignore the recommendations of an independent panel, and decide to award yourself a massive allowance Peter, keep your mouth shut, and don't start bleating to the press about tenners and hot dogs.'

'Keep it zipped.'

No headlines.

'No public outcry.'

'No threads on Accy Web about expenses.'

Er...yeah right love.

Don't know what planet you're from, but it's as clear as muddy moon dust that it obviously ain't workin' on here, judging by the posts for and against.

Perhaps you could de-cyfr it for us, and translate blind idiocy into reasoned, and logical thought, rather than the shrill, obessive rantings of a blind man.

Stature?

I take it you ain't aquainted?

His stature mirrors his wee physical height.

Sorry for the patronising use of the word 'love', by the way.

I just presumed you were a boy.
