Voting for Jeremy Corbyn - the political equivalent of buying a Harley Davidson

Stick it back in your portmanteau durhamjen because it actually means hyper with the carbolic, somebody who is super clean.

Be careful where you use it whitewave as you are aware of it's meaning I take it?

Chewbacca ?

gillybob I corrected it straightaway and I never mock people for their typos or poor grammar or spelling were you just in a strop because I disagreed with you?

You know what lemongrove that is actually what I thought it meant.

Well to confess, I actually thought it meant a cleaning obsessive but lets not "spit hares".

No now I suppose you are going to tell me it is rude.

Honestly I live such a sheltered life

I'm off to the TV threads - on the whole there is a better class of poster than some on here. So it's stuffy to object to people making fun of (corrected) typos is it? Just so I know.

Really - what terribly impoverished vocabularies some of you have, Just a joke of course, not making fun of you so don't get stuffy.

Well, just don't say it to the vicar.?

That was to whitewave?

mary it's just an old trick to disrupt the thread.

Nope........

I am used to being disagreed with maryeliza and have plenty things to get into "a stop" about without this silly thread.

Unlike some other people on this forum who seem to delight in it, I never mock people for typos/bad grammar etc. either, I didn't read your correction (clearly) and GENUINELY didn't know what you were accusing me of being.

Well at least on the TV threads you are allowed to have a difference of opinion.

I admit to no vocabulary, thusly I asked.

Time you got into a stop, then, gillybob.

Shall we get back to Corbyns speech then?
Did it bother anyone that he was treated like a rock star or budding dictator North Korea style before the speech?
Must admit, it made me cringe and I would feel the same no matter which political leader was feted in the same way.
It's the Party that matters.You would expect applause as a leader walks on, but it bordered on adulation and went on far too long.I wonder if he secretly worries about it all.
This Messiah feeling must be hard to live with.What if he never manages to deliver?

Agreed lemon. And that rendition of Happy Birthday was truly excruciating and embarrassing. It was like a poor man's version of Marilyn Monroes's "Happy Birthday Mr President". Regrettably, he doesn't seem to be able to carry a tune in a basket.

But you haven't got back to the speech. You are just criticising him for the way he walked on to the stage, the way the party reacted to him and the way he sang.
That's not the speech.

Oh the speech was more or less what was expected.Nothing
To frighten the horses, that was already done the other day by McDonnell.Planning how to play it if all their ideas go horribly wrong and there is a run on the pound etc.

So you watched and listened to it all, did you?
Strange thing for a Tory to do, except of course, for May.

And why say shall we get back to the speech then when you had no intention of doing so?

What do you think of his ideas on housing and land?

What do you think about what he said about Grenfell?

I didn't listen to the speech, did hear a little on the 6pm news, it brought to mind - go back to your constituencies and prepare for government, David Steel in the 80's .

So jam every day for life with a momentum government ,

I doubt the hysteria in the hall will win over voters, seemed rather vulgar

Quite, Anniebach it was for the faithful only, not the average voter.

So you didn't watch it, lemongrove.

Roses used to say exactly the same sort of things that you do.
