I was quite disappointed with it. I was hoping for at least a bit of a sloppy one. I had to fish it out the bog after it bounced off the leaflet!

Also let's face it, it's a bit short.

You really want a subway (12 inch)


Different tack, my mates 'party trick' was curling one off in to an ashtray or pint glass from altitude.

Military boys and their sense of humour. My sides are splitting.

Just like when my mate in the army described the game "freckles". I believe it involved 2 slices of bread and a shit. I was equally as amused by that story too.

Actually freckles is more likely to involve two plates (paper).

The 'load' is between the plates and the upper plate slammed down.


Now the ham sandwich game is far more fun

Why would they pay for it?

NHS...it's already paid for.

This isn't America my friend.

Just realised we did not get any voting card in the post.

Has it all changed this time, can I turn up without a card?

AFAIK a card is still needed in all areas. Have you moved recently and not registered?

I know where the voting station is, voted in the last electric and EU vote there.

No cards this time though.

[blackrabbit]

You dont need the card to vote.

Don't need the card.

Looks like the eleventh hour move by May to suggest new laws to detain/deport terrorists is moving things her way a little. The betting market puts the odds of her being PM on Friday at about an 83% implied probability.

Still a scary thought of something like a 17% chance of Corbyn...

It would be an oddity that leaving the stable door open, losing the horse, then saying you'll keep a better eye on the door (honest!) increased the chances of a renewed fixed-term contract as a stable door monitor. But, I suppose if the other main applicant had previously been unwisely pictured holding the door open for some Irish horse-rustlers....

Perhaps a crap analogy, she really made the stable door a bit smaller by sanding away the edges over many years.

A genuine question to the conservative supporters on here. What actually are the relevant Tory manifesto pledges which are going to boost the economy?

I can clearly see that Labour are pledging a £250bn investment package over 10 years. You can decide that it's unaffordable, undeliverable or whatever, but at least it's there in black and white.

Give that that the Tories are meant to be the safe economic hands, what are they actually pledging to do? Is it just a combination of deficit reduction and (presumably) consumer-led growth through higher personal tax allowances?

Its mainly the economic competence, or lack of in terms of Labour. There is no way on gods green earth that they can deliver the spending they claim, and fund it from just a small tax increase for 5% of the top earners.

The increase in corporation tax will only deliver so much money, and that will be a decreasing amount as companies either leave or find work arounds.

I was pro EU, but whats done is done. The last thing we need for industry and the financial sector is more hammering. There are may countries touting for all that tax revenue and the Labour proposals will just hasten that. They will tax the middle classes through increased council tax or some other form of dickery.

There is also the worry over defence etc, which I feel Labour are likely to just roll over and remove our nuclear deterent.

To be frank I would rather slide broken shards of glass down my japs eye than trust the likes of Corbin, Abbot and McDonnel!

[TodmordenLad]

As one commentator eloquently put it, Labour under Corbyn is all about increasing individual and company tax burdens to enable the economically inactive to remain economically inactive, or words to that effect.
His 'Socialist Worker' inspired beliefs haven't changed in thirty-five years, and I for one, believe that he would be a truly disastrous PM

[mcoops]

So no idea then? They are just the not-Labour party? No actual policies?

With a heavy heart, this is the first election since I've been old enough to vote that I am not voting.

I simply cannot get behind any of the parties.

There is now a huge void in politics with no party catering for centrists like myself.

May is the most competent leader by far and the party has the most deliverable manifesto, but I cannot support a party that has lurched to the right to sweep up UKIP voters and introducing draconian policies on things like employers of foreign workers. The manifesto is lazy and May is also very hard to like. Their policies on education are very poor, and the u-turns on policy demonstrate a poor campaign overall.

Labour have some policies that I do agree with, but they would run our economy and military into the ground. Re-Nationalisation of industries also absurd. Corbyn and his cohorts are incompetent.

Ideologically I'm probably closest to Lib Dem, but Farron is not a leader and it would be a wasted vote.

Other parties not even worth mentioning.

There is no such thing as a wasted vote! Its a privilege millions would and have died for.
