Brexit/Election/Bori s/Jeremy Debates.

I think Hugh Grant redeemed himself in that Paddington film.
Brilliant performance sending himself up.

Our small gammon joint last weekend was very tasty but very salty.
I didn't soak or boil as the instructions were to roast.

This is a real problem. Is 'ham' any better. Oh horror, will I have to completely restructure Christmas lunch?!

Anything will do, as long as it’s oven ready.

Ham? You mean....Hugh Grant? Stephen Fry?

Well, I've been waiting for phoenix to start the traditional gammon thread.

Gammon, not ham sorry!!

Can't say gammon M0nica; apparently its a derogatory term that's used for older people who vote for a particular party.

A term used to describe a particular type of Brexit-voting, europhobic, middle-aged white male, whose meat-faced complexion suggests they are perilously close to a stroke.

So you're having ham then?

Hmmm. What to have for a festive joint, well, as Labour’s goose is well and truly cooked perhaps we could have that??
May be a bit bland and neutral, but ready to eat at least,
And what doesn’t get gobbled up at Christmas dinner can be fed to Tiddles and Fido.No waste! Very green and eco friendly.

Turkey and gammon for us, or is that too political and should I call it something else?

Turkey for me chewy without politics but with roast parsnips. growstuff I’ll have you know my DH thinks I’m very tasty, so there (mind you that is after he’s had a few ??)

No, Doodle, Conservative voters would be to tough, chewy and tasteless!

Venison here Doodle. And you?

Will be great not to think about politics for a while. How true.
Who is having turkey for Christmas?

Calendargirl I agree with you in that we do need a break, at least for a week or two.?
There had to be a post mortem for the LP of course, and a few celebrations for those of us happy with the outcome.
Will be great not to think about politics for a while now though.????

Calendargirl I am on the side of the angels! I think angels have a sense of humour.

I wasn’t suggesting BANNING these threads for goodness sake! I have read and contributed to many of them, but what I meant was, as I think MOnica pointed out, they are all so similar that they merge into one big political hash.
That’s all, just a light hearted observation, or so I thought, but it doesn’t seem to take much to cause umbrage.
Apologies.
Yes, I have looked at the Christmas Angst thread Callistemon!

Its not banning the threads that OP doesn't like. It is the sheer boredom and total repetition of each political thread.

Currently if you took all the posts from all the poltical threads, threw them up in the air and then allocated them randomly to the different threads when they landed, no one would notice, they are all so samey. I include mine in that description.

At least each game is different and you couldn't randomly allocate the posts on those threads.

I am just waitin for the first to break cover and post a political response to this thread.

I took the OP as some wishful thinking rather than a desire to ban any threads.

Have you visited Maw's Christmas angst thread Calendargirl?
It's very funny!

Spleen and angst and speculation. I guess it's just what some people live on.

Wishing there were fewer spleeny, angsty, politically speculative threads is not "policing", ILC.

nfk, ??

I don't understand these threads wanting to police Gransnet by banning threads the poster does not like. Why can't you just not read them. I have no interest in the many games threads but I wouldn't dream of telling other people to stop playing them.

NfkD

I agree with you OP, there's no point in rehashing it all now, what's done is done. In any election, some will be delighted with the outcome and some will be despondent.

Go cold turkey you mean? No Brexit threads at all? Where will all that spleen get vented?

I agree!
