Cameron's Christmas message

Was that necessary, bags?

I liked your post, niggly. Sarcastic, maybe. Bit bitchy, maybe. Funny, definitely. All three are allowed and all three will be interpreted differently according to senses of humour (or lack thereof), perceptions of other posters' viewpoints and so on. Keep up the good work

Just for the record, I often think posts of yours sarcastic and bitchy, djen. You may well think the same about mine. Big deal. Not.

It must be using false names on here

Er...what? Are you accusing me and rose of fraud, Anniebach? I do hope not.

As expected rosesarered and Ana, you really should pn!t judge others by your own actions

flipping houses, expenses for duck houses, running fraudulent companies, using influence for personal gain, accepting donations, corruption, gerrymandering etc etc - I am sure you haven't done any of those!!

Using a false name - oh, perhaps that one

That's why I think Gnetters could be better at running the country

After all, what does an MP do that I haven't?

I can think of a list as long as your arm, but won't bother posting it.

Anyway, how does she know I have not had my chance at running the country? Does she know more about me than I do - or think she knows more about me?

Intrigued now (can you post on the 15+ minutes of fame thread please?)

I would have been criticised for being sarcastic if I'd said the same to nigglie, and you know it, jingl..
Somehow I do not think she intended it to be playful.

It was very mild, almost playful, mocking. I certainly wouldn't call it 'bitchiness'.

Me too!

I find that hard to believe ab ?

Not sticking up for Jen who is quite capable of standing her ground, I am speaking of an insulting post and my disgust that some found it amusing I would say the same no matter who had been mocked

The Pope's Xmas message was nice.

she launched a verbal bitching at a poster
anniebach it is very nice of you to stick up for djen but I am sure she is quite able to give as good as she gets.

But perhaps she really is amazed?

Sometimes it amazes me that Gransnetters are not running the country, we have so many better ideas than those who attempt to.

I don't agree nigglenellie was naughty , she launched a verbal bitching at a poster, so not naughty, rude and uncalled for, is it not so that everyone is allowed to post their opinions without being sneered at ?

nigglynellie very norty!

grumppa a very good idea indeed - does it make a jot of difference anyway?

So far I have managed to avoid both JC's and DC's New Year messages: a good start to 2016.

Norr-tee!!!!

It never ceases to amaze me dj why you're not running the country as you clearly have all the answers to every problem however complex at your fingertips, and always have had. With your superior knowledge and intuition you not being at the helm has clearly been a severe loss for this country, and probably the world.

Just listened to Cameron's speech, wishing everyone a very happy new year. The people dealing with floods will not have been listening, fortunately, because he has forgotten about them already.

Blair and Cameron were, of course, both elected as PM. Perhaps the dynamism helped.

Just heard Cameron's new year message , he is going to tackle poverty, what his close friend and advisor Oliver Letwin would say was helping the lower class
