Sorry Happy birthday-5ishmonths Fran

 

It was mine on Monday!

 

What a coincidence...it seems like everyone on here has a birthday this year

 

Got Madden 13 for my birthday. Fun game. Played a few games on the easiest difficult as I'd not played any in that franchise before, then decided to try it on Pro....ended up losing 70-0 to Green Bay Packers lol

Ol' Farrage will win that one. He's a populist who is quite good at playing on people's fears when it comes to Europe. Plus, Clegg is hardly a credible politician nowadays.

 

And Farage is?

 

Probably moreso. He'd have some degree of support from the Eurosceptics of the country (I hesitate to say Daily Mail readers as this family gets the Mail and I've read it a few times) while even Lib Dems hate Clegg.

 

But for most neutrals (myself included) Clegg is a lot more credible than Farage. There are fewer politicians I dislike more than him.

 

There was a tabloidy story a while ago about some student who went out in a nazi fancy dress costume and how disgusting it was etc. At the same time one of my mates had been fairy regularly seen in student bars wearing full SS uniform. Said uniform was promptly retired to the back of the wardrobe after that.

 

I think I'm washing my hair that evening.

 

Happy birthday. Looks like BBC3 is about to go online only. I'm guessing they pay quite a bit for Family Guy/American Dad episodes? Not sure though.
PS. one of my wife's friends is newly single and I think she is your perfect woman. Think Leslie Winkle from Big Bang Theory (but younger). I realise this is completely unhelpful.

 

Farage is one of the few normal(ish) UKIP candidates. He raises some valid points, but is never vote UKIP as they're full of racists, sent climate change and support gun ownership. Farage is good speaker, in fairness.

 

Thanks!

Never watched big bang theory. No idea who Leslie Winkle is.

Nothing wrong with responsible gun ownership. If I were to move to America, I'd probably get a gun

 

Not only is it my birthday in a few weeks, it's my thirtieth. Scary.

 

You'd have to to defend yourself from the other gun users!

 

A mere child but oh what a cynical user name for one so young. That should be CBK's or my user name.

 

Any one tried the Vaportini?

 

I really can't see that going well for clegg, UKIP thrives on populism and fear mongering.

 

It'll go well for both. Lib Dem voters aren't going to be won over by UKIP, and vice versa, but both will nick some Labour and Tory voters.

 

The worrying thing is the effect it may have on EU referendum voters.
