I can't remember the name of the English teacher at Woodnook but you obviously took more notice of him/her than I did but then Milton Suthers the maths and sports master was always my doyen, so I was more into sports and because of this he seemed to go out of his way to help me with maths.
(DOYEN), thats got to be worth nine out of ten.

Re: Referendum is a load of crap.!!

After I left School I went to Blackburn tech and did my English O level(I got an A).....my job involved lots of writing of reports and such like.
I can't remember who taught English( I think it was a variety of teachers).Milton Suthers was my nemesis...he scared the living daylights out of me,he turned me into a shivering wreck...which might explain why I was rubbish at Maths.
As for the word doyen(a doyenne is female)...you get ten out of ten for that one because not only have you got the spelling right for a man.....you have used it well(oh, yes and it is of French origin).

Don't worry too much about long words in English Taddy, if we vote stay in at the referendum then no doubt there will be an EU edict shortly afterwards banning it's use anywhere within Europe.

Even if we stay we will be punished for having the cojones(though they are pretty small cojones) to challenge the status quo...for wanting a better deal.
So yes you are right either way we are in the brown stuuf that goes under the name of Fisons.
Get us Out.

Today's part of the Project Fear campaign is to tell us that if we leave the EU prices of goods and services will rocket costing each individual household £220 per annum.
How has this figure been arrived at? Would this £220 per annum not be offset by us not having to fork out £350 million per WEEK and contribute it to the EU?

And those French merde's are saying that they may arrange some sort of trading deal which will penalise the UK.
Why would we want to be in an organisation which uses petty playground tactics?
For goodness sake vote OUT.

Oh yes...And poor Tom Conti is objecting to the term 'luvvies'.
It hurts his poor delicate ego. He thinks the term is as derogative as that N word for black people.
Doesn't your heart bleed purple pee for these poor unfortunate folk?

I'm afraid not Margaret, that will disappear into M.P.'s expenses after all, if they end up actually in charge of the Country they will expect extra payment for the responsibility.

But Less, they have been paid well for years and they have just sat on their nicks doing burger all. We should be getting a rebate from them!
I will be glad when it all done and dusted.....though I fear that I will sink into a slough of despond once the results are known.

No need for depression, if the vote is stay, a public holiday will be announced and all alcoholic beverages will have duty removed for that 24hrs so we can celebrate the coming prosperity.



If the vote is out you will be too busy getting to grips with the new rules and regulations concerning rationing as the EU sends it's gunboats to blockade our larger ports and our airports are closed because we won't be allowed to enter their airspace!

It's worse than we thought. That's an Egyptian Navy gunboat. No doubt they'll be the next to join the EU after Turkey.

The EU are hiring in their gunboats there are a large number of ports to blockade, (it's rumoured that Cameron put in the cheapest bid but has been rejected because he wouldn't be able to get the Royal Navy into position in time, Oh and they are suspicious about his travel expenses distance to travel seemed too large).
