Re: Metal Theft

Odd, really.

How basically it's the same old, same old, with regards to forum membership here.

Besides losing a few, and gaining a few, here and there.

Though in the past, when we had a Conservative run council, and a Labour government, there were always many accusations that there was a definite left-wing bias here on Accy Web.

Now, a short time later, we have a council under Labour control, and a Conservative led coalition government.

I haven't noticed an influx of political agitators on here.

As I said. Same old, same old.

Perhaps there's just been a shift in public opinion?

Which some are unable, or don't want to see.

As I said, odd, that.

Just think of him as a taller, extremly polite and very intelligent version of me and you'll have a good idea what he is like Margaret.

Ah, you haven't met me either, so that won't work will it?

It's time for you to put in an appearance @ this years Christmas meet.

Maybe that's why I can't go out after dark.

No, for some reason I am just not happy being out after dark...maybe it's my age.
Everything else seems to be put down to that.

Thanks to globel warming Jay, I can get a high barrier sun cream that allows me to prowl around town on the shadier days, though I do find it a tad uncomfortable when I'm sat in the railway surrounded by 50 or so flat screen T.V.'s, perhaps I need to search the internet for a barrier cream that will protect me from this terrible increase in EMF emmissions?

Less, I thought it was only a stake to the heart, a bulb of Garlic or a silver bullet that threatened those who travel in the dark of the night, those with a thirst for the red stuff....no, not tomato sauce! Blood.
I thought you would be immune from those pesky waves.

Stakes don't work, I have a rare genetic disorder known as vampires breath that allows me to have garlic with everything & I am of an ancient breed thrust into a modern world, we were never designed to cope with anything more complicated than a wax candle, so, EMF is the devils spawn to me, (I'm not a hypochondriac it's me genes!).

By the way, silver bullets are for were-wolves.

Even those who are pure in heart
And say their prayers at night
Can become a wolf
When the wolfbane blooms
And the stars are shining bright.

Well you live and learn.......I thought the silver bullet was anathema to all the devilish creatures that haunt the shadows.
I like the poem too.

I just want to return to this one comment.

Maybe 'shuffle' was the wrong word; there may well be another word for this practise within the House of Commons. Possibly they call it flash mobbing or something similar. I don't know. Nevertheless, what happens is commonplace so I am not singling out GJ.

It is possible, of course, that Graham did not see the gentlemen shuffle up on his left because he would have been concentrating on his speech. However, I stand by my description of the the exodus from the chamber, empty green benchs and then members bunching up togeather alongside GJ.

You can judge for yourself:

http://www.parliamentlive.tv/Main/Pl...meetingId=9343

You need to drag the timer across until the time on the bottom right of the screen shows 1.25 (One hour 25 minutes into the session). You will see the winding up of the previuos debate, then the speaker calling GJ. Then watch what happens on his left hand side.

Anyway, you are the jury - reach your own verdict.

My typo - I tried to correct it but got timed out.

I have watched it and the benches the theLeft of GJ(right as we look at it) were empty...then three members appeared and sat down in this space......but certainly there appeared to be a sparse attendance.

At 13.00 the Speaker of the house Mr Bercow told the MP's that they were pressed for time and had to move on GJ started his speech at 13.01
