Also this, if it was put into practise in every school it would be great, IMO !

Really, I couldn’t hear what he said but I did hear a woman insulting him quite clearly. The Tories are falling apart. It’s now been announced that they set out to cause an incident today. Playground games, nothing else. Incidentally it’s on Record that the Chancellor used exactly the alleged words very recently when referring to another Member of Parliament and apparently Mrs Thatcher was well known for being even more blunt. It’s hardly newsworthy and if that sort o& incident makes your day words fail me. What is they say, Get A Life!
Hahaha lovely crunchy edged chewy middled oat biscuits.
No it was no a jovial post it was a statement about your political preferences. I hope that you leave your fear of Mr Corbyn at the office door and keep it for your comedy moments. Perhaps you should have balanced it by having a pop at the scripted insults coming from the Prime Minister at the same time. I wonder what you said under your breath when you read my post.
Fresh Mistletoe!! A gentleman was selling big bundles of it today for €5…i didnt want such a large amount so he kindly sold me a few trimmings for a €1. Told him Merry Christmas and his smile grew very big!
I wrapped some lovely ribbon around it and now it is in my kitchen where i can get lots of smooches!

How are ya feeling??
You wrote the comments on a public forum, as a senior civil servant you should have known better. What you do if and when you come to France is a very personal decision but I would like to give you some advice; treat people as individuals don’t come already having divided them into French and English.
Selling, I thought you just cut it from a handy tree.
Fine you win. I’ve just requested James the Admin to delete my account. I’m off this site now I can really do without this kind abuse for simply expressing a well intended light hearted quip.
Two things today for me I finished two days earlier than expected for my Christmas break 
And watching Jeremy Corbyn get caught out clearly mouthing “stupid woman” in Parliament then trying to cover up and lie about it!
Personally, can’t see anything other than light humor & joy of getting off work early in this post?
David, Try thinking out of the box sometimes & you may see the funny side of things. Humbug humbug, lol. It’s CHriiiiiiissssssssmmmmmmmmmaaaaasssssss!

He claims he said “Stupid people”
I think I actually agree with him (both that he said it and the Tories, indeed all politicians, are not necessarily terribly bright).
Look closely, both woman and people are two syllable words but in woman the syllables require the mouth to change shape at the beginning - W is said with the lips pursed forward and M with them held back.
The two syllables of people both begin with P so are the same - whatever word he did utter last people fits his mouth shape better than woman.
I don’t see what the fuss is about - stupid people is perfectly accurate.

I think it was the use of lie that swayed me.
Fine I’ve deleted my post. Christ such a drama over a simple throw away line.
Sorry Mat I’m so over this site now it’s not the first time this has happened it’s too much like hard work for me. I joined these forums for information and applied learning to help with my renovation project but have found that expressing any form of personal opinion just seems to bring derision and upset. There are other places I can get the information I need. The thought of sharing my renovation project on here fills me me dread now to be honest and I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing it. As I fear all I will get is people telling me I’ve done this wrong or that wrong and pulling it to pieces. And I’m doing this project for me as it’s a life ambition so to have it publicly ripped apart as I’m sure it will be is just going to depress me and ruin the whole experience for me. So probably best I just quit the site I think.
