Your thoughts on Margaret Thatcher please ?

Charleygirl if you fancy a game of tennis, we found some old racquets in the garage yesterday, and I have some strawberries if you bring the cream.
Of course, it might be more relaxing to sit back and watch Federer battle it out with Questiontime.

Federer for me every time

Men from the boys?
Wheat from the chaff?
Sheep from the goats?

Sense from . . . ( oh stop it Alea, maybe someone felt withdrawal symptoms because of an absence of comments on MT on GN)
<sigh>

Thatcher, plimsolls and tennis add some strawberries and cream and it's a perfect English summer's day.- Predict that one Questiontime? Men and boys separated? Well off for lunch with the "girls"! (Sorry it's an expression I would never use! We are of course "ladies who lunch")

Yes please rosequartz absolutely anything but this.

NotTooOld - the plimsolls referred back to another equally daft thread by another probably rogue poster who wanted to ask about buying plimsolls for DS but only Vans were good enough for her DD (Hence my 'Vans' comment) whatever Vans are ...
Oh, don't get us started again ....

Anyone for tennis?

Mrs T and plimsoles? What is the story, please?

(Mrs T - first woman prime minister, let's at least give her credit for that. Unfortunately she turned into a man later on!)

If you predicted the posts that replied to you here, you must be a mind reader. Are you sure you read them all through?

If no-one already has, I would like to refer the OP to this thread in which many opinions will be found. No need to recap.

Predictable with hindsight

Sorry, you'd already made that point Alea.

However, this thread has certainly separated the men from the boys...

If the response was that predictable, why bother posting in the first place, Questiontime?

Predictable. ?
I am amazed that you were able to predict that hardly anybody would post anything about Thatcher, politics, 1976 or even boxing gloves, and that if so, you CBA to initiate a non-thread.
Any other topics you'd like us to ignore?

Questiontime My posting produced a predictable result I see. Really?

A friend who is something of an expert on cats suggested a way to introduce a new kitten to established house cats when my daughter rescued a tiny and very grubby kitten that was probably too young to be away from her mother (kitten, not daughter). She (friend, not daughter or kitten) suggested dabbing a little oil from a tin of pilchards on the back of the new kitten's neck and giving the pilchards to the house cats. The idea was that the cats would eat the fish and then lick the oil off the kitten's neck and everyone would have got to know each other in a friendly way. Dylan and Pepsi (house cats) guzzled the pilchards and shot out the cat flap, completely ignoring the kitten. After a couple of days, the kitten who was destined by absentdaughter to have some sort of girly name, started to smell awful and I remarked that she smelled like rancid fishpaste. Fishpaste she became and remained so for the next 17 years.

My posting produced a predictable result I see.

We could have buttered and Marmited the paws of our Ginger ex tom cat. He was a right softy.

Now why are we assuming it's a "he"? (Not that I don't agree with you!)

Well, he's at it again with another long rant!

Ah, why indeed?
I just took it as a case of lighting blue touch paper before retiring and as such I suppose the "t" word springs to mind. Hope HQ are keeping their eye on the ball as they loll in the sun over the BH toil in a sticky office deprived of BH freedom.

Sorry about the repeats. My laptop isn't taking instructions very well today and I thought clicking 'control enter' hadn't worked, so clicked again - and again.

Why were we being asked to give our thoughts on a subject that's been done to death (sorry!) long ago?

Why what, Anno?
