O/T Conman Corbyn

[60YearsAPie]

A dictionary definition of 'mince':

mince
1. (v.) (perj.) To move or act in a way that implies homo***uality.

So when you said "he 'minces' if you know what I mean", what did you mean?

Which dictionary do you use, Elite?

The Cambridge dictionary says – “to walk with small, delicate steps, in a way that does not look natural.”

The Oxford dictionary says - “walk with short quick steps in an affectedly dainty manner.”

Can be used to describe either a male or a female's walk

I didn't have to Elite - I was taught correct English and a little Latin at the old proper Nottingham Bluecoat school and used the word as defined by 60YearsAPie. As said, I never intimated Corbyn was queer but if I thought he was, I'd have used the word in that context. You can read a person's character to a certain extent by the way they write - did you take 'O' levels by the way or did you leave school at 15. My first intuition is the former.

Anyway my good Sir, we'll be meeting in December (I think the Grimsby game) for me to call in my £20 and it's already arranged to donate this to the Newark Conservative party. You'll have a receipt of proof shortly afterwards! I do what I say .. you know that.

Funny they taught you that definition all those years ago, when I was at school the word 'mince' meant putting meat in a machine and turning it into very small pieces. I wasn't deemed bright enough for the 'O' level group so I did CSEs at school, quite badly. I think my main achievement on leaving was a cycling proficiency badge.

I'll happily hand over my £20 note in December should I lose the bet (I'd say you were favourite to win), but I'll be giving it to you. If you decide the Newark Conservative party are the most deserving charity case then that's your decision entirely. Should I happen to win, the money would go to a children's cancer charity.

Well my friend at least you're honest which I respect. I'm fortunate enough to be able to make private wagers man to man but I don't usually bet on horses (unless the advice comes from a proven source) as I don't have an interest in the sport.

Should I win our wager which I'm confident I will - the idea of donating your money to the Tories (and having a receipt in the donor's name of Elite Pie ) is my idea of a bit of fun against a Labour supporter. Should you win, I'm glad you'll donate it to a cancer charity as I'm involved in raising cash for Cancer Research U.K. from time to time, the last time being last season when my Charity 6 a side cricket tournament (with uncle Col commentating) raised £1600 on the day and plans are afoot for another next year already.

Ah education .......... my apologies here, I wasn't far wrong in assuming you failed 'O' levels, but in my day only the Grammars and Independents sat 'O' & 'A' levels and the CSE's came later which I'd forgotten - so I would hazard a guess you were a Comprehensive pupil sitting these exams where the lesser academic exams were offered to the less bright? Nothing wrong in that as I left school early in order to serve an indentured apprenticeship and had to make way by means of night school and day release.

In the meantime advise Mr Corbyn to have his teeth straightened, learn how to knot his tie and study American Presidents in the art of walking with purpose instead of mincing along based on the Cambridge dictionary definition.

You guessed wrong. To everyone's amazement, not least my own, I managed to pass the 11 plus exam in 1965 so my secondary education took place at the newly opened Annie Holgate Technical Grammar school in Hucknall. The clever kids took O levels, those deemed less bright (me) took the CSE exam. I think I was more lazy than dim, something that I carried into my working life for a few years. Suddenly it dawned on me that if you have to spend a week at work, you might as well get as much cash as possible so I put in a bit more effort and moved up the ranks. I put in the hours and did ok in the end. That's why I laugh at the brainless Soccerman stereotype of all labour voters being workshy benefit scroungers. I have always voted labour, but for 40 years I worked hard and never claimed a penny in benefits, and have cash to spare these days entirely due to my hard work. I have never compromised my left of centre principles even though now I may be a bit better off under a Tory government. If Corbyn does what he says and addresses the inequality in this country I will happily give up a bit of my wealth as long as it goes to the right people.

I agree with your post, but I don't think you're correct about that bit because the Tories are utterly incompetent at managing the economy. I doubt if anyone but the top 1% is actually better off under them. It's not a sacrifice to vote Labour, you would have to be stupid not to. Luckily for them, many people are.
