    Your posts reminded me of him, or someone from a while ago. But if you always have been you, then it's coincidence or my memory failing me again.

    I couldn't comment. There are also certain types you closely resemble, however I couldn't possibly say without falling foul of board etiquette.

    However, once again - to be clear, because I really don't know where you're going - I've only ever posted as me.

    WTF?
    Why so confrontational? You must be one of the most confrontational posters on here.

    All that to me and yet, not more than a word or two to Ossie who actually asked the question?

    Very interesting.

    You're very paranoid, you know. I might have been suggesting many possible forum members or types you bring to mind, but no, you assume I'm being confrontational.

    You might remember that not everything people post is about or against you, and that, on the subject of Brexit, youve hardly been the most polite and easy going of posters when people disagree with your rather fixed views.

    A little patience and a little less accusations might be nice to see...

    It's very hard to be patient with someone as intransigent and always in the right like you, but thanks for the advice.............I'll try my best....promise.

    Bank of England raise interest rates for the first time in 10 years, yet the £ drops over a point against the $ and €. today. I realise this was pre - warned, a tiny raise, and only further small raises are forecast by the B of E. Still isnt it an unusual reaction by the markets?

    Absolutely true I visit here to do nothing else. I love reading our digital family’s opinions. The forum is entertainment nothing more and if it gets serious at time then it’s a problem. All social media contributes in a shade to sexual assaults imo
    This digital revolution is taking its toll on world culture and morality or what we thought was morality

    I apologize if my remarks caused offence, but if you read again I did not describe modern Spain as Fascist. What I did do was to state that it had been the most successfull of all Fascist states - bearing in mind that the leader of it died peacefully in his bed after having ruled for 40 years, despite the executions and disappearances of over half a million people. Also, the word Fascist can only really describe the original - ie. the rule of Mussolini. However, the question still remains - do democracies shoot rubber bullets at people whose only 'crime' was in wanting to vote ? Do they have political trials and accuse non violent people of rebellion with the threat of up to 30 years in prison ? I think not.

    I’ve been reading about a lot of raptors being killed and no one being prosecuted for it. Presumably it’s about protecting grouse or other force bred birds, which no one eats after they have been shot.

    Yep. Game keepers shoot and poison many birds of prey. A lot of the time they end up killing raptors that won't endanger the birds they have reared to be shot.

    When I travelled back to U.K. yesterday got caught in a herd of goats in the gorge that runs to my home ... While the dogs did their work she told me that she has to watch out constantly as the griffin vultures target her kids

    Now that is bird

    Cologne, to be honest mate, the whole thing is a piss poor mismanagement by the lot of them.
    Rest assured, today's **** up of encarcerating these dicks, will come back to haunt Rajoy.
    No one is going to serve time in the 21st Century in Spain for at worst a political "crime".
    Me thinks...............
    No offense taken by the way.

    The richest 1% now pay 28% of all taxes.
    The poorest 50% pay just 10%.
    the mugs in the middle pay the rest
