We appoint a new prime minister,meanwhile the headline news in Scotland is a car has crashed into Andy Murray's golden post box and knocked it over .

Maybe the two stories are linked? Sounds like something Boris would do.

Would be so much better to have a dead Boris and a letterbox for PM.

Cruel.

Boris would call this a racist attack.

Bloody hell heres the pic of the car

Thought his mum would have plenty to say...leave him alone ffs hes a grown man with children

It will be the only grand slam Murrays ever likely to be involved in these days.

BREAKING: Britain now the same temperature as Hell, but with a less likeable leader.

All the best people are in hell. Heaven is full of religious *****.

How do cars even run?

I've no idea why I'm even bothering but I'm not sure what relevance your point has.

I don't suppose you would.

I can see the logic in this though Steve. Somebody running over Murray's post box is news. Boris becoming PM was news about 4 weeks ago, effectively. And you are talking about Scotland, where half the population won't even accept him as their leader. They want Nicola 'mad cow disease' Sturgeon as their PM. Just imagine a triumvirate of Trump, Johnson and Sturgeon - the lunatics really would be running the asylum. In fact considering the importance of Sturgeon (or lack of it) I suppose we are already well on the way to hell on a handcart, we might as well have Burke and Hare running the Western world.

I despair, I really do.

I believe this proves my point in another thread.

Houseboy, what is it about Sturgeon that makes you think she's comparable to Trump and Johnson?

I love it up here Scottish politics is funny as F**k.

Apart from being completely bonkers I don't know. I know politically she would be a minnow (to say the least) but she is well up there in the bonkers stakes. I don't think she realises that it appears that half the population of her beloved Scotland has no interest in anything she's got to say. She's actually worse than a remainer in her obsession with Scottish independence - I swear she'd have a vote on it every month until she got what she wanted.

The greatest living Scotsman (Billy Connelly) once said (something like), 'As soon as someone puts themselves forward for election that should immediately disqualify them'. I really do feel these days that this is right.

houseboy wrote:Apart from being completely bonkers I don't know. ...

Ok. So what is it about her that you think makes her "completely bonkers"?

Imploding Turtle wrote:Ok. So what is it about her that you think makes her "completely bonkers"?

You know when you hear someone talk (or see their writings) and you just get the impression they are slightly unhinged in some way? Especially when they are so obviously obsessed by a single issue (whatever it be). Come on bud - you just KNOW what I mean, don't you?

Doesn't her fondness of nationalism automatically make her a racist Charlie?

So, nothing. You have no reason to think that.

No.

If you say so IT...if you say so.

Meanwhile, back in the real world, where total obsession is seen as a form of mental illness...

Houseboy is completely bonkers.

Just to use your own logic IT mate:

To justify this statement you would first have to prove the existence of Heaven and Hell.
You would then have to define exactly what you mean by 'the best people' (given that 'best' is a subjective term).
Depending on what ***** actually represents you then have to explain your reasons for coming to that conclusion (as per the word 'bonkers' for instance in a previous post).
In the unlikely event of you being able to do all of the above you would still have the problem of proving that said people (who may or may not be the 'best' or 'religious' or indeed '*****') are actually in either of the, as yet unproven to exist, places.

Sorry to sound a little pedantic but I was just putting myself in your space for a few minutes.

I think most people know that my comment was a joke. I don't feel the need to explain jokes or back up jokes with facts. But were I to make an assertion about someone then i would be able to back that assertion up with facts.

So you can't justify your statement then? And how would you back up with facts? Oh yes, you would do what all argumentative pedants do and trawl the internet until you found 'facts' that fit your argument, even though there would be other 'facts' on the internet that would prove the opposite. You see mate I don't need to do that. My off-the-cuff statement about Sturgeon was also in the 'joke' mode but based in some fact, in the sense that obsessive behaviour is one (just one) sign of mental instability and that she is obsessed with a political dogma cannot be denied.

I have justified my off-the-cuff statement - you have yet to do so. If you don't like pedantry don't play the pedant.

Happily. What statement do you want me to justify?

Ha ha! I'm just having a bit of frivolity with IT. You know sometimes, when I'm bored, I like to poke the lion with Albert's stick. If I were to say that I care about what he thinks it would be...let me think...a great big lie. Pedants are great fun because they don't like pedantry...when it's aimed at them.

Incidentally Boss how very dare you suggest that I am un-PC. I have recently resigned my membership of the Ku Klux Klan, I have consigned my pitch fork and burning torch to the bin, I've started swearing in front of women (that's what they want isn't it?), I have stopped campaigning to bring back the birch and only last week I gave up beating my wife (unless she deserves it). What more can I do? Date a lesbian?

It's not pedantry to ask you to explain your opinions. You expressed an opinion, and I asked you to explain why you held that opinion. There's nothing wrong with that.

Only joking mate. Don't take anything I say too seriously (unless I am being serious). For what it's worth (and I could get shot down for saying this by some) I think this forum would be all the worse if you weren't on it. Let's face it considering what the average age appears to be on here we should all know better and get a life.

Just to clear up the Sturgeon thing (and I don't want to drag it out) I personally believe (please note opinion not statement of fact ) that she is a little bonkers because she is more than a little obsessed with the Scottish independence thing (obsession is a sign of possible instability) and there seems to be more than a little madness in her eyes whenever I see her. I think the main difference between her and, say, Boris the Spider is Boris is more of a buffoon (maybe more dangerous for that, I don't know) whereas Sturgeon actually seems to take herself very seriously. i say this with no malice about her because I genuinely don't have a problem with Scottish independence if that's what they want, they need us more than we need them I would think.

For me, as a Labour voter (apart from when we went to illegal war with Iraq) the only down side to Scottish self-rule is the potential for perpetual Tory government here, which fills me with absolute horror (but that is a whole other argument).

Have a nice day bud (don't ya just love a good argument).

Sturgeon bobbing her head and shoulders when giving a speech isn't bad enough, she's an angry little f##ker too.
She's definitely beyond focused.
