Well I never.
I have stumbled in to a hot bed of skulduggery intrigue and political infighting.
And apparently, your media assassination comes silent and swift.
And I thought being edited for suggesting the new labour candidate was
Re-productively attractive was over the top.
I will need to go with coercion

I would give up all the politics in the world for one Kentish orchard.
All I need is a spade, a hoe, a plot of land...
Bury politics and grow some apple and pear trees....
Of-course it would lead to great arguments, tears being shed, but most important is to get there.
If there is something you want to achieve, just keep striving for it.
Life is too precious to give up noble ambitions.

All very well Alexander, but politics plays a large part in every day life; the problem is when it's rammed down your throat.

Roger. That opens the discussion on what is politics.
We have one government blaming the previous, and two coalition parties apparently having different views on very important issues and for this reason making compromises that leave most people in consternation.
With all the hardships many of us experience as a result, we can say that politics is rammed down our throat. But many put it down to incompetence on the part of those who govern.
As a result I have a dislike towards politics.
Because of politics, I find that I am being deprived of being as happy and content as I would like to be. I am not allowed to do what I would like to do, and perhaps this makes me feel even more unhappy than many might like to believe.
Alas one can't complain to fellow comrades in life, because no-one can do anything to change the mind of those who govern.
And work as I may, I simply will not find the funds to buy this orchard.
And the banks said: don't think we will give you a loan either!
But life goes on, and so we must plod on, hoping in better days; and I hope the reign of politics will come to an end, having identified politics as the greatest obstacle in my path.
"You have a secret agenda", some say.
Well yes, I do, I want an orchard in the Garden of England.
Politics won't let me have it, politics won't let me enjoy life, politics makes my life hard and miserable.
So I shall plod off to work again today, and Monday, and then start my next contract, always in the knowledge that one day, politics might come to an end.
But it's not the fault of us folk on the Forum, it's the fault of politics.

" the point here no one else has said after frustrating comments that they were leaving the forum "
Keith, I said similar to others when I was suspended and someone else said similar to me when they were cross about something to do with the forum. We all say things we do not mean when we are upset or frustrated.

And so it goes on Jan. flippant remark on another network gets long winded diatribes on politics and defensive posts about political parties. Then the even longer posts on political views.
Whatever happened to people being able to express frustration and others making light of it as a way of letting off steam? Too many appear to be taking everything far too seriously to stop and smell the flowers, is it any wonder people get frustrated?
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.

The excessive`unwarranted`critism of the Dover Forum team requiries it to be said the`few`have for sometime ridiculed,
anyone with a different view/opinion,with lacking inteligence,experience,knowledge,in comparison with themselves.
Mrs Bouquet was consistantly,increasingly adopting this style of post,which has been pointed out several times that the less
robust among us would be nervous and refrain from posting on the more controversal subjects.
Her quote ``inaneposts,the idiocy,the deliberate twisting of words,the dumb arse prattle,the ignorance,the bias,the bigotry
and inverted snobbery``is one,in my opinion,applicable to her posts.
Hope you had a super birthday Paul B dispite this OTT reaction and like me who does not look like or feel 68,you do not look
like or sound like 64.
Great ain`t it.

Referring to forum members as Mrs Bouquet, Batman and Robin, and Fuhrer (
http://www.doverforum.com/letters/viewtopic.php?id=10349&p=7 #134) doesn't help create a friendly atmosphere.

Well said Ray, I wonder what other names are waiting to be used about forum members.

You're one of the worst Reg. talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
I'm not surprised Bern made those comments.

I think this is all very sad, specially on a happy day like today
I have only three things to say - namely
1. Love you PaulB
2. Love you Howard McSweeney
3. Love our Dover forum.
Happy Jubilee day everyone
There's always a little truth behind every "Just kidding", a little emotion behind every "I don't care" and a little pain behind every "I'm ok".

blushing jacqui and i am sure that paul is looking down on us from boland towers and is the same.
ray
those names are very much used in any office or workplace banter, particularly batman and robin.
fuhrer i have used to describe watty as that is what he is - the leader, have also described paulb as the forum fuhrer.
neither have arranged to have me beaten up so far.

Difficult to get anyone to take up the contract for 2/6[half a crown] Howard. Of course that's old money to the younger forumites.

i had heard that in the past there was this strange currency with half crowns and ten bob notes, i didn't take too much notice as the chap who told me was a bit of a two bob bloke.
