ICTChris Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) I just read that Alyn Smith article, I was expecting a couple of quotable lines that Szamo's Ammo had pulled out for a laugh but the entire thing is a foot stamping tantrummy mess. I can't quite put my finger on it but we seem to have less impressive people in politics than we used to. I've heard it said that this is what it's always been like and that what's exposed it is Twitter putting all the petty little beefs, hatreds and jealousies into the open. There could be something in that but at the same time we seem to have lots of very pompous and self important people as our representatives. It's not party political, you see it in every party.

My 93 year old Mother was saying the other day that, up till recently, even if you didn't like their politics you had some sense that political big yins had some vague idea of what they were doing. No more. She rates Nicola though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The figure amounts to about three-quarters of all UK banknotes in existence. how though. how do you lose 50 billion pounds worth of notes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest it rattled by and I didn't see the plates. They were made in Poland in the 80s I believe so it could have done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Szamo's_Ammo Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) Had in my head that this was released later than 2003. Makes me think of the Italian fans from World Cup 2006 in Germany.

NotThePars Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I thought Pretty Green Eyes was the 90s. Maybe 2003 is a black hole sucking in content from around it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
