Voting age should be raised to 25.

and more votes for land owners

And double votes for those with double barrelled surnames

A sliding scale according to age would be good. Your votes count the same your age in years. Only over 25s allowed to vote.

That system would be excellent and guarantee a vote result with built in intelligence and wisdom. Older folks want the best for their kids and grandkids and this would maximise their knowledge and experience.

Boris should employ me as an advisor.

Voting IQ should be raised to over 25 which rules you out Torque.

HO HO HO!

There is literally no beginning to your wit, Charlie.

As Euripides taught us: Talk sense to a fool and he will call you foolish.

Close but incorrect: Intelligent people are full of doubts and foolish people are full of confidence. If you contradict them and speak the truth you risk being called a fool.

You seem very confident of what you say.

Actually, I was 100% accurate. But I guess your googled reply just proves my point.

Stick to climbing up ladders and carrying poles. Not a lot of intelligence required for that.
snobbary at its worst. Middle calass people tut tut

Ah, the old scaffolding insult raises its ugly head once more. More proof of you merely being a cowardly sock puppet.

The cowards who denigrate my (former) job as a scaffolder never seem keen to reveal what they do for a living. Strange that.

scaffolding is honest work

Hey your a brave scouser going up them poles  talkmadder , oh hang your not a real scouser are you

Not sure if you are including me as a coward but I'm retired. I was a lecturer in IT for 30 years. Various other jobs including being in the army where the value of team work was the mantra not just looking after yourself. Cowards didn't last long in that job by the way.

Scaffolding is an honest job and hard graft but doesn't require a great deal of brain power.

In what regiment did you serve, Charlie? And at what rank?

I wasn't in a regiment.

I started as a private.

I have every respect for the British army. My brother-in-law was a full colonel at 42, before retiring to be a BA pilot.

What was your job in the army? Were you in for long?

I'd rather not say what I did apart from saying it was dangerous and a good root to promotion as a lot got killed. A tad more dangerous than scaffolding.

Most officers in the British army are not ****s. Shame that’s your opinion, but hardly surprising.

I don't want to get personal with you as I don't like you.

Scaffolding is an honest job and hard graft but doesn't require a great deal of brain power.

what and you think IT does require brain power?

Sadly, I don’t believe you were in the army at all. You’re clearly not the type. Dangerous my arse. The army’s version of James Bond were you?

Sadly you're still a tw@t. What is the type? Nothing like James Bond.

IT teacher I CAN believe though.

You can believe whatever you want it doesn't bother me.

What is the type? Disciplined, for starters.

Get it right an IT lecturer not a teacher.

In the army! In a very dangerous role! Don’t want to talk about it!

What a prize plum!

should be over 21 - and you have to have a university degree

Okay, Professor Plum!

Please keep taking the piss. You have no idea.

Okay, I will. Thank you.

You're welcome. Keep climbing the ladders.

I don’t climb ladders anymore. You must have missed that bit, Professor.

OK you don't climb ladders now you live off your misses.

Brilliant!

Special forces assassin AND a comedian! Amazing how much valuable time you waste on here from such a busy schedule.

What a muppet!

You are very good at reading something into what hasn't been said. Hope you misses earns a lot to keep you both.

I take it you know nothing about the army. I did say I wasn't in a regiment. I know it's been a few minutes before I posted that and with your attention span you've forgotten.

In the army! In a very dangerous role! Don’t want to talk about it!

What a prize plum!

I’ll never tire reminding you of that.

Good.

Absolute quality!

Oh, and let’s not forget the veiled threat!

Has anyone mentioned IQ? I think this is the way to go. A good start would be with prospective MPs say 110. Not too tall an order, surely.

What veiled thread? I'm always upfront and honest.

We're still trying to establish whether Torque manages to get to the 25 mark. So far he's failing.

I’m sure we all know the type of old bore you meet in a pub (or online) who claims to have held some clandestine, dangerous army role - but they don’t want to talk about it.

Every one of them is a bull****.

I think a scaffolder would beat me now at my age so no bet.

You’re very indisciplined for an ex-army man... oh, hang on!

Believe it or believe it not that is your choice.

“Very good Torque. We all know some tw@t who say's a family member was a full colonel when they meant he was a full cook.”


Freudian slip, anyone?

I’ll have fries with mine please, Private Plum.

I'll call you a cnt if that helps.

Hey, Mac, steady on. I’m only a small fella, twelve stone soaking wet. Surely no match for Chit Chat’s own Jason Bourne.

Just to help you out there is a quote button on the right.

The offer of a ref  is still there if you change your mind. By the way there is always a slim chance you might bump into someone you just called acoont on the street in such situations its advisable to be as quick with fists as you are with mouth.

Charlie losing it. They all do in the end.

This is using the Quote button.

Twelve stone means you're a wimp surely.

I know a few scaffolders.

12 stone makes a man a wimp does it? Tell that to Billy Joe Saunders.

Best toa void Carlisle scoffolders especially on black eye Friday hence the name ha ha

For a scaffolder at 12 stone probably means you're a short arse.

The hardest geezer around here is smaller than me. If you think smaller stature makes you a wimp, you’re way out.

Another reason to believe you were never anywhere near the army. Dangerous role my arse!

So says a 12 stone dwarf. Don't get upset about your height. I know some very nice small people.

You can buy a lottery ticket at 16 tells it’s own story,... that’s not for the meek

I'll just pat you on on the head and say don't get upset.

Is 5’ 10 a dwarf? What are you then, Charlie? 6’ 6 I suppose? You might as well be, everything else is made up after all.

No five ten is not a dwarf but for that weight you need to build up a bit. I'm six foot.

In the army! In a very dangerous role! Don’t want to talk about it!

What a prize plum!

Note: I’m keeping on taking the piss as requested.

I assume you've added a few inches so shall we say 5' 8 which is a bit small these days for England but not for Ireland.

Every new page will get that helpful reminder.

As I said you're more than welcome as it keeps making you look like a bigger fool.

Don't worry titch you may grow up one day.

You two seem to talking a good fight

I hope so. I can't stand bullies who seem to think they can steamroller over everybody. Especially thick bullies.

Sounds like fighting talk

This exchange hasn’t quite gone how you hoped, has it Charlie?

Actually, you are displaying a classic Napoleon syndrome. How tall did you say you were again?

6 foot.

And you are five foot eight.

At the most.

Actually, you are displaying a classic Napoleon syndrome. How tall did you say you were again?

Napoleon was actually taller that Wellington he was avareage height for the times

I'm impressed by your fake humour. No substance to what you say but you do keep a good facade. I also see you don't multitask.

Come on titch you can improve if you try.

Coochy coochy coo don't get upset little man.

I’m content for readers to make their own minds up on who has won this little exchange, Professor.

I doubt you’re quite as comfortable with that prospect.

Good night to you. Happy to chat again.

So am I. Glad to have exposed your nonsense and bullying tactics.

And here’s Charlie ,with the big C

And I’m happy to have exposed your lies. :)

Bullies don't win they just think they have.

Again.

If I had my way I would raise the voting age to 65...

then we can create a world that favours pensioners

Unfortunately this world would not last long, the young would not stand for it

they would kill all us pensioners

oh well....any good idea down the pan

of course I am a pensioner which is why I suggested it

I would also only allow males to vote I am afraid I m a misogynist as well

If I was being totally fair...if people are old enough to work for a living, they are also old enough to vote hmmmm????

I do not agree with OP

If people fight and die for us, they have also earnt a vote....   18 is fine.

charlie couldn't even get the polar bear issue right ha ha

In Egypt the results in you exams aged 18 determine what profession you can enter.  You have to score 99 to be a doctor, which is why the profession is so admired over there.  I've no idea what the score is for politicians, but I'd hazard a guess that Corbyn, McDonnell, Long Bailey, and Rayner wouldn't be able to be politicians if they were Egyptian.  The lack of intellect in their Socialist Party Worker wing is both strikingly obvious, and obviously logical, since to believe their policies are workable you can't be that bright in the first place.

Correct CLYDEBANK - a lot of the Egyptian students have very strong parental encouragement. Particularly the mummys.
