I've always assumed, (perhaps wrongly), from the nature of your postings here that you didn't know who your dad was (except that he passed 'stupidity' on to you). :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

This is the progression from banter to insults.
Let's hold our heads high and refrain from sinking to such lows, please.

Clippo is bowling with three short legs one of them square although why we should place such emphasis on his physical characteristics is beyond me.


And if Clippo really is representative of those who believe climate change is threatening our very exisistance then I think Geoffrey Howes cricketing metaphor used against Mrs Thatcher is the best one because those who talk in similar fashion do their cause no good.


'It is rather like sending your opening bats to the crease only to find moments before the first ball is bowled their bats have been broken by the team captain.

Classic !

Thank you, I enjoyed using Geoffrey Howe's line much more than I enjoyed hearing it used against Mrs Thatcher.
