I am still recovering from her still struggling to get over last years Boat Race...........ffs surely she owns a mirror?

By:
There are quite a few other women sports presenters(although you would never believe it listening to her)....
who just get on with their job With her it is all me,me,me...she has to be the star.. still we live in a celebrity culture.. so that is what she is in the end it will be up to the viewers.... which is probably the way it should be |

I enjoyed my wild, muddy, outdoor lifestyle. Being chased by pit bull terriers, rolling about the grass cutting myself to shreds rolling over broken vodka bottles, and being stabbed by discarded needles. Avoiding roaming gas and glue sniffers shouting abuse at trees, and other kids laughing at my fashionable clothes that were worth less than a fish supper. The good old days, I thought they were absolute bliss.

I am afraid we make it up as we go along Moley
 and evolution does not necessarily progress... like trying to find the next winner, who knows where we are going  The important thing to me is we are able to express our views and think for ourselves but governments and media nowadays do try to take this away from us..  I don't know the answer, nor the next winner either judging by my performance today  ps yes it was a shock xmoneyx, but a good one...people expressing themselves for once ignoring the totally incorrect rascist slur...good on them |

Ebul,I have fewer issues with most than the majority,however I do have issues with liars and crooks and self serving qhunts................add that to the mix of deviants and it pees me off as you well know.
Above all I hate with a passion those who take money from those who can least afford to lose money.A certain tipping service have been absent since I promised............and delivered a personal insight to where I live.Solely to stop their (his) obsession. IF THEY were as they say..........where are they.....WHERE IS THE PROOF of their success? |

is this Brimardon
I get a little confused...I cant afford them anyway Picking my own is all part of the enjoyment for me...although not necessarily profitable although I do look at tips...but usually vet them..this means I miss the winners and just follow the losers usually as for deviants... ..like a lot of people, what I don't know, does not hurt me.... this need to get it all out does confuse and disturb me, and others I should think.. I think this is wrong...but then I have older values ...I don't deny the right of consenting adults to do what they want in the privacy of their own homes but they should also respect other peoples feelings about this ...which at the moment they are not just my opinion |

I genuinely think it would be a much happier world if men go out with women, and vice versa
every body understands it..it is simple |

By:
let all consenting deviants do what they want ebul,keep it to themselves imo.Prostituting in public for personal gain is not for me.
I will always be a racist homophobe,atheist punter.......who will always do right for ALL when it comes to punting.....and life in general.nap   |

you could set a trend there Moley  |

By:
I would go back to you own words earlier Moley
'can you fool all the people, all of the time'... there is a feeling by governments and media nowadays you can incorrect in my opinion just as dogs are always wolves under the skin we are still the humanoids who evolved on the African plains 150,000 years ago whatever that animal was, we still are...one reason we still have wars...too much departure from this will cost us technology or no technology just my opinion |

Ebul,when I was a small child growing up in Durban and Johannesburg with all family roots in Fife,shunted to Pretoria and Port Elizabeth for nannying and formative schooling.I will never forget my father saying "If SA is ever given Black rulers,the majority will be back in mud huts"
How right he was on that and many other things to do with the world today........he was though a Bigot........hated Catholics. That is why I am an atheist............his hatred shaped my independent outlook in many ways.......however I am a homophobe and also a racist in context of how I view the world in general. To be denied my thoughts or feelings in this Century is a breach of ALL human rights.........not just my own.Thankfully where I live is more tolerant without condoning abuse of said prejudice,what we can do is express our thoughts without some minority agenda claiming to be persecuted. In short..............Freedom to speak. |
|
By:
well said Moley
I have only got this forum... actually I doubt if either of us are really as racist or as homophobic as we think we are but if we own the word..it takes away its power like most ordinary people, when people try to force their values on us, we react, that is all and I feel governments and media are doing this to us for their own agendas and as you say Moley trying to take away our..... Freedom to speak |
|
By:
Exactly ebul,I have friends of many colours,creeds and religions..........we dont just tolerate each other.We have mutual respect.......................tbh though I do not have anything to do with homosexuals and never will do through choice.

ok Moley..
 it is quite an interesting subject though being gay is part of us...but the revulsion we feel about gay people is also part of us.. because both have evolved so one cannot stop people being gay...but neither do I believe can we ever stop the revulsion.. they in fact both natural we have failed with the first, now we are trying the second, which I feel will also fail ...one day we will reach the right balance...hopefully above is my opinion, open to discussion, and may well be as wrong as Skintos tip for tomorrow |

Ebul,being non religious and non judgemental on most subjects or lifestyle choices e.g alcohol.......smoking.......making money etc.
I draw the line at abuse of nature,it takes a male and a female to procreate our species.The gay fandango bunch want it "all ways" including having children......claiming it is their "Right". Bollox imo.  |

Nothing against Clare Balding very competent at what she does.But up against Rishi,Willie,Parrott and Wiltshire even Stephen Hawkins has more charisma.

His wheelchair has more charisma than the whole job lot you mentioned paddy.
Mind you I would bet "She" would have an adapted wheelchair if (and god forbid) she ever needed one...........to take duracell AAA batteries. |

At least Clare is a journalist,she knows what she is talking about even when she did Rugby League. The others use the same old tired cliches.Clare does go down that route when family are involved.
