OT: Oh no, not politics again (PLEASE DON'T LOOK IF EASILY OFFENDED)

You can't have that attitude to people, how very rude! You should be having a go at the likes of sidders, a teacher by profession. Obviously Joe was badly let down in his schooling years. Probably because he (Joe) started, at an early age, to exhibit attitudes that the socialist dominated teaching profession abhor.

Ah, so I'm responsible for the fact that Suckerman is as thick as a brick? I'm sick of peeps like you, Smith. You're all over this land like a rash - WH Smith, Smith's Crisps, John Smith ales and so on. There are millions of you, operating like a secret society. Why can't you stand on your own two feet like the de Pfeffel Johnson's do?

I'm pleased the Smith's are around. All wonderful England based profitable household names - employing many and paying taxes into the economy even though some may have been swallowed up by others to create more profitable businesses.

A very famous brand the 'Smiths' - a proper English surname and possibly more of them in our midst than anywhere else, bless 'em. Lovely ring to the name hasn't it? ........what's better than John Thomas Smith for example? Very solid and sturdy as a British oak, dependable and trustworthy. What about that decent John Smith who led the Socialist party before his untimely death? Nay Sidney .... long be the name amongst us - as in a few years they'll be more and more 'English' surnames around that we can't pronounce!

It’s a real pity we can’t bring hanging back outside the gates of the White Tower for anti British comments. I have always respected the Monachy and the wonderful history of our country. You should carry on playing on your X box, drinking your strong lager and cashing your benefit cheque tomorrow that hard working true Englishman pay for.

Little sad people like you will always be in the minority or a member of Momentum.

So you would hang people for just expressing an opinion? In that case perhaps you wouldn't mind Labour adopting the idea after the next election.

It says nothing actually, about what we were talking about - offshore tax evasion and political funding of conservative political projects from these sources.

And 'Blair was elected leader of the Labour Party'!? Didn't know that, I'd always thought he'd won the position in a tombola.

Oh what a shining wit--I think I got that right

A very famous band the 'Smiths'

Hope you don't mind me correcting your typo.

Must admit I never had you down as a Morrissey fan though.

I THINK you understood that I was doing a bit of a micky take for Smiffy, here, Serious, but the Pfeffel Johnson bit was as lost on you as your 'Conchie' reference was on me.
Btw, the reason I found the Magnus a less than perfect Grammar School: at the time I went there, just 9% of Notts kids passed the 11-plus. So at first I was a B streamer. We were treated shockingly. For example, they couldn't find a History teacher for us so Dr Clayton took us. Sounds good, but he was never there - just a load of copying while a sub teacher looked on. English - my star subject - was taken by Spike Hennerberry, a Maths teacher. And so on. None of this would ever have happened to A streamers. (I know because I was promoted at the end of 3rd year).
The B stream lads were treated like pariahs because they were bright kids who weren't being valued or challenged. Remember, they were among the best 9% of brains in the County but the Magnus treated them like dustbin kids. Throughout my 29 years in comprehensives I have always done my best to make sure the children got good and appropriate teachers, whatever their intelligence levels.

Not at all Sidsville ...... Boris and his dad haven't done too badly.

Who the bloody hell is Morrissey. Ah .. must be some musical group I assume. I apologise for my ignorance, but never really been interested since the original R&R bands disappeared. I am interested however in the new BIg 'O' album coming out with his great hits being dubbed onto music by the London Philharmonic I am told.

Won't carry this on Sidley but lots of schools didn't have specialist teachers and the same thing happened when I was at the Bluecoat in the early 50's. We sat the Oxbridge 'O' levels in those days I seem to remember and lack of specialist teachers didn't hold kids back especially at that level.

Nowt wrong with Boris, need a few more characters like him around the political stage. You be careful of us Southwell Smith's, we have a long reach!! Why we even have our sister clan, the Rigby's infiltrating Newark!
