  1. I believe that might cross the line for threatening an investigation, obstruction of Justice.
  2. Trump’s violent rhetoric finds a home. Let’s hope the FBI catch the culprit, he clearly needs a bit of love and care in a Federal facility.
  3. Perhaps something to consider when Trump is arraigned and asking for bail.
  4. Starmer was not ‘caught at it’. https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/police-say-uk-labour-leader-will-not-be-fined-after-lockdown-investigation-2022-07-08/
  5. Which among the broke the rules then mislead Parliament about having done so?
  6. Could have, but didn’t. Could have been but were not. You are getting offended by what wasn’t.
  7. Not at all. It’s just I can point to my posting history on the issue of Transgender people in sport as comprising consistent arguments not rooted in moral outrage, let alone hysteria.
  8. Do not presume to tell me what I should post. I have consistently stated over numerous threads discussing Transgender athletes that sports governing bodies need to deal with this and that the correct way to do do is apply competitor classifications. No need for hysteria or moral outrage, simply add some new competitor classifications to accommodate new developments.
  9. Over many years I've found the IO officers are very precise in their requirements and provide accurate statements on what they require. Some are more polite about it than others, but I’ve never once been asked for something that was not adequately explained or unreasonable.
  10. We have two homes here, we three years ago changed our registers address from the coast to the mountains. At our coastal address visits were required every year, at our mountain address only one visit has been required. I last week submitted my request for extension and asked if a visit will be required as we plan to flee to the coast to get away from the PM2.5 pollution. ‘No, only on the first year’ was the answer. So two different offices, completely different requirements.
  11. I think it’s one of those consistency issues, where the only consistency is the inconsistency.
  12. We had a visit the first year, none since. I invite all official visitors to sit on the patio at the rear of the house, nicely shaded and discreetly under the watchful eyes and ears of our security system.
  13. Again, I’ve consistently argued in favor of addressing transgenders in sport by means of of competitor categories. I’ve never met anyone who would be regarded as an ‘average man’ in my sports career, competitive athletes are by definition well above ‘average’ and certainly way above those who’s participation in sports is from the sofa.
  14. I’m not playing with words at all. I have simply re-stated my view on how the issue of transgender sports should be dealt with. The announcement in the OP is a step in the right direction but does not go far enough, competitor classifications for transgender need to be added, as I have consistently argued.
  15. I agree, why stir it: “Watch the woke brigade get their nickers/underpants in a twist over this!”
  16. No, Open National Competition , National Amateur Championships and Professional cycling. Non of it while on a sofa.
