I've just been screwed ridged by a 3 Tribunal Judges and 2 CC Distric Judges, all defending a Baronet who decided he didn't have to pay me for two years gardening!!!

(you can't say I have no feelings)<br /><br />The Games (imho) will cost us all an absolute fortune, will make our inability to finish construction projects on time a world joke, and will make a lot of money for a small number of the right chaps in the right counties. I'm all in favour of sport, and the dedicated people who take part in it, but The Games have nothing at all to do with sport. Similarly, the London Games have nothing at all to do with the rest of Britain.MSFoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470241067504971068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-57523253908374136942011-12-06T19:26:04.043+00:002011-12-06T19:26:04.043+00:00"should be executed by firing squad, live on ..."should be executed by firing squad, live on the Lottery show on Saturday night TV"...in front of their families!!!!<br /><br />Now appologise and resign from whatever position you may hold, no joke there...clearly your real thoughts on the matter...blah...blah...can I be a Magistrate now please?Hugh Walterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10689023221814673819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-32866888269642755052011-12-06T16:06:47.079+00:002011-12-06T16:06:47.079+00:00I stopped listening to the radio for very similar ...I stopped listening to the radio for very similar reasons. I do not read newspapers because it is all lies and I yell at the TV whenever I see a politician. Does this mean I am getting grumpy in my old age?
