Thanks Study. For someone on the right I'm guessing I can still claim two more miners strikes on my CV than you my old plastic leftie.

Twizzle I see you have a problem with sentences again

You said in this thread

Dave 1357...four runner race £10 ew on a 5/1 winner..what yer make the return?

You then kindly quoted my post which stated

dave1357    23 Feb 17 19:34
Betfair's rules:

If any race is reduced to four runners or less, all each-way bets will be taken as ‘all-to-win’ given that there are no places


Why would I have any difficulty with the issue when I posted the relevant rule.

If you actually meant to ridicule me for not knowing that if the first leg of an ew double is a 4 horse race and the horse wins, the returns of that bet are split into an each-way single on the second leg, then hurrah!  Well done!  But personally I'd be far more worried about getting confused with the relationships between words in a sentence, that you exhibited in that thread, rather than my simple case of ignorance.

Kudos to you, goonthen.

Incidentally, I have NEVER claimed to be a leftie (although I probably am left of centre in my views - compared to you lot, I'm round the corner and as far away as it gets, and have only once voted Labour.
I just hate the crap I keep seeing on here and my I think fairly sound knowledge of history and my personal experiences (I've never been down the mines though) makes me loathe the Conservatives and even more, new right-wingers.

Fair play SF.One of the wisest phrases I ever heard as a young socialist was.. "You'll never understand the mind of a Conservative until you've got something to conserve".Thatcher bless her, pulled the political stroke of the last century by selling council houses, thus presenting legions of now ex Labour voters with something to conserve.

Has this forum become a leftie echo chamber? No, it hasn`t become one, it always was one. Along with virtually every other public forum, and every form of mass media. What has happened, though, is that for the first time in most of our lifetimes, someone (Nigel and Donald) has had the audacity to point out the utter woefulness of all this pc bollox, how unnatural it all is, and how we`d all be better off finally ridding ourselves of what is nothing more than an `Emperor`s New Clothes` brainwashing, foist upon the Western world for generations.

So, all that`s changed is that the delicate little lefties are finally (and most unexpectedly, poor blossoms!), discovering how it is to have to live under the yoke of political oppression. Suck it up, lefties, we`ve suffered a lifetime waiting for sanity to be restored, most of it spent shaking our heads in disbelieving despair.

The sweetest bit? The knowledge that this beautiful turn of geo-political events isn`t just a blip, something that will be reversed after Donald`s done his eight years. Oh no, the tide has turned irrevocably, decades of decency-loving freedoms trodden underfoot is over, we are now in a New World, one that has no time for wastrels of the left, trying to ruin the world and make us conform with their tosh.

Given the old edict `If you`re not a socialist at 18, you have no heart; if you`re still a socialist at 30, you have no brain`, it would seem somewhat remiss of me not to take this opportunity to remind all the lower-IQ types that every squeal of indignant moral outrage that anyone would stop believing their pc claptrap provides more fun and glee than any Comedy Club could ever do. And not only is it free, but it`s on 24 hours a day, for the rest of our lifetimes. YOU, dear lefties, have become no more than the gift that keeps on providing  us decent folk with the best show we`ve ever seen! Utterly priceless! So, be aware that with every utterance of tosh, with every post on here, with every BBC/CNN/Sky seethe, you add immeasurably and exponentially to the happiness of nations.

These are, indeed, sweet days.

YEE PHUCKING HAH!!!

We ALL laugh at them, twizzle, that is their new, and highly justified, role in our world. Nothing more than Court jesters, whose thoughts and self-importance have been scientifically and medically proven to cure the darkest depths of depression, so risible are they.

What is it about them, that they can`t even read a dictionary? If they could, they would know it`s no coincidence that the Romance Languages which so influenced English equates `left` with `sinister`.

Taken from; 
http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/39092/how-did-sinister-the-latin-word-for-left-handed-get-its-current-meaning



`...Historically, the left side, and subsequently left-handedness, was considered negative in many cultures. The Latin word sinistra originally meant "left" but took on meanings of "evil" or "unlucky" by the Classical Latin era, and this double meaning survives in European derivatives of Latin, and in the English word "sinister".

    Meanings gradually developed from use of these terms in the ancient languages. In many modern European languages, including English, the word for the direction "right" also means "correct" or "proper", and also stands for authority and justice.

So, if you were left-handed or sinister, you were associated with evil. In time, sinister itself meant evil and threatening. EtymOnline said that sinister attained this meaning in the early 15th century. The OED supports this, writing that the first uses of sinister to mean malicious were:

    1474 Rolls of Parl. VI. 110/1 Contynuyn in habundaunce of goodes and havour, to their sinister pleasure.

    1477 Earl Rivers tr. Dictes or Sayengis Philosophhres (Caxton) (1877) lf. 7, Leste ye be let or withdrawen ther fro by eny sinistre or euil temptacion....`





So, by very definition; left equals evil, right equals good and proper. Fairly simple, you`d think...

One I forgot to include in the 'minority' list.
timbuctooth, with a first paragraph containing the most absolute, proven fallacious, made-up piffle it's possible to write in 2 lines, you are yet again confusing being PC with agreeing with left-wing political views. The 2 things are not connected, but don't let some fact get in the way of simple media indoctrination.
In amongst the self-righteous drivel is the typical "chip on the shoulder" crap, seemingly about how the dictators and fascists of the world have always been put down by those bullying workers!!!!
You do seem to feel bullied, poor thing.

As for lower IQ - I'm pretty sure I know which of us I'd choose in an intelligence test!

I've rarely, if ever, seen any moral outrage from any left-leaning posters here. Just the begging for some from people like you, desperate for the "seethe" you never actually see yet crave like some sort of fuel.

So this lifetime of oppression you waffle on about..... Under the leadership of Thatcher, Reagan, Bush, Cameron, Blair was it? Those heads of communist ideologies who have wrested your freedoms and liberty?

Among the complete nonsense and quite early in it is the fawning over "Nigel and Donald".
The 2 political geniuses who seem to give so much hope and joy to the 'rightist' minority and the reason for so much nastiness on here.

Just FYI, they being the egos they are, cream their jockeys just as much from the adulation of fools like you, as you do in your adulation of them.

Lap it up, it won't last, because - as you say, they don't like it up 'em, as it is now.

I have to disagree, lfc (btw, another name for the minority list)

The British people, like people all over the world, trust, like and do what they are guided towards by the press, TV and Media.
Which is why fashion exists, why awful records get to number 1, why coffee is now £3 a cup and why Labour is now "unelectable".
Most people just do and believe what they're told and they (we) are perpetually being told that Corbyn is useless.
Again, it's proven that he gets almost entirely negative press. Just stating facts not starting a Corbyn rally (before the indignant attempted ripostes begin).

No lfc, it isn't moral outrage imo, it's a response to earlier posts. I see no morality, nor outrage. Just the same standard irritation as always.

I have to disagree studyform

the British people do not do what they are told by the press
at some point they do what they think to be right for themselves and their country..that is why they are British

fashion exist yes, it exists because the British people are endelessly inventive and creative
and have even been able to create some of the most beautiful pop songs

I like Corbyn in many ways, so do many other British people but would not vote for him because ultimatedly I feel he and people like him would be prepared to destroy everything that we are lucky to have in this country, our very freedom

Fashion isn't all British. If people didn't do what they're told there would be no marketing or advertising success.
Thatcher and the Saatchis made that what it is today, btw.
Of course there are beautiful pop songs, but there are loads which gain huge undeserved success because people are told they're hip, like their friends, or in some other way righteous if they buy the rubbish ones too.

What makes you think British people are any different to any other people?
By:
lfc1971
When: 27 Feb 17 10:49
I know fashion isn`t all British, some of it is American.
They write the songs, and we write the songs.
that is how it is.
What makes British people different?, I don`t know maybe it`s a miracle.
