Clearly not, you feel like folks are trolling you, and you're trying to ignore them. And then you complain that the man in the street treats you the s...

Excellent! Try not to tense up.

But you want to silence me, and you want to silence @"Streetlight".

Are you one of them bullies you were talking about?

Well, since you ask so politely, a woman is an organic penis sheath. As every schoolboy imagines.

They can change the rules, or push him under a bus; or 'exert some pressure', as they did with Thatcher and with May. I don't know how it works, bribe...

In theory. In practice, he's an election liability and the Tories are likely to find a way to get rid before the next election, which means in the nex...

The killer for Johnson is that Brexit is unravelling. It could only have worked for Ireland if we had basically a free trade deal with the EU, that Ma...

It's rare for a conservative leader to actually lose a vote of confidence, but for most not winning by a large margin is enough to make them resign fa...

Sadly, it seems you are. I can only leave you to your nonsense at this point.

Sadly not. That nonexistents don't exist is fairly obvious, but it is equally obvious that you can refer to them, because you keep doing so.

You'll be telling us next that the pope is Catholic and bears shit in the woods. :cool:

Why do you keep referring to it?

Another way of putting this is to say that our ideas map the world, but a map is useful only to the extent that it leaves out all the fine details and...

This seems problematic to me. Consider the term, "Shoreline". I think it is a useful term that designates the extent of an island. Yet it turns out on...

I never made it to Marseille - far too urban industrial hot and smelly for me from what I hear. But surely no worse than Milan, for god's sake.

It is forbidden to die without having seen Carcassonne. (I think the penalty for disobedience is death.)

Stop off at Cadaques and gawp at Dali's house an stuff. Go to Carcassone, “Il ne faut pas mourir sans avoir vu Carcassonne”. Then Cathar castles, hot ...

That explains all the artillery, then - diminutive love letters. I think my wife must be a bit Russian.
