Okay, click bait thread title but they are implying he's a grammar nazi. I don't know what I find more bizarre: JRM's Victorian view of language or the fact the BBC thinks such drivel constitutes a news story. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Much as it pains me to admit but I have to go with Lord Percy on this: inserting agendas into threads is... unseemly.
I was quite up for a slapping like "HD, you git, enough of the clickbaity threads!" or "but JRM is Victorian Dad!"
Oh the irony of me, of all people, asking for a thread to stay on topic ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Imperial measurements? Other than miles, they are pretty dead and buried now.

The thread is about a story of a clear left wing biased media outlet, once again pushing propaganda against a right wing politician to discredit them. Why else do you think Al Beeb saw this as worthy of airing? It's just "posh Tory" bashing.
Quote: | Mr Rees-Mogg, who was brought into government by the new prime minister this week, has also asked staff in his new office to use imperial measurements and refer to non-titled males as "esquire". |
Commenting that it's nice to see a right wing politician taking the fight back to left leaning media, over the crap they spout to discredit the right, seems quite on topic to me. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

Really pleasant guy to speak to actually. Polite and engaging, despite he and I having very opposite backgrounds
perfectly happy to talk with someone like me. He's doorstepped me the once (my MP) and later remembered speaking to
me when I met him in the High street when he was on the campaign trail some time later. Even down to the Street name
and roughly what we chatted about what we which I though was extraordinary. Although he probably doesn't meet
many Londoners where I live so maybe it was my accent that stuck in his mind. He and I have very little in common but
I can't honestly say that anything about his background really offends me. He's a bit religious I suppose but not preachy
unless questioned on such things, he's for traditional family values, I don't want kids at all. But still we managed to chat
amicably on the subject, he had his son with him when I met him in the street, a polite, bright kid even if he's a
bit of a mini me to his dad. He'll go far anyway, no doubt. Fair play to them all. My wife speaks with what you might call
a fairly posh accent, so I'm quite used to hearing one and wouldn't judge someone harshly for speaking in that way.
Mine... Not so posh. Also, he was in the street with no apparent security present and no (visible) Police so I think
that says a lot about someone like him who is an easy target for some to vent at. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

I'm sure one would live longer if one were to chill out a bit...
Anyhoo, I suspect the BBC researchers have been feverishly trying to find some dirt on JRM and drawn a blank. Family man with his own money, no interest in fiddling expenses, sleeping with prostitutes, gambling, drugs... I suspect he only thinks oranges are for eating!
Surely there would be better topics for attack. There was one a while back, what was it? it's on the tip of my tongue... begins with "B" ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 4 years, 267 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
