RE: WHAT DO YOU THINK ? - 2

I know people get sick of elections, but I talk to a lot of people on my travels through the town and I can say this election, considering this country's very serious problems is probably the most important since the war.
Yet no-one I have spoken to yet knows who to vote for. SB

I respect peoples's views ,even if I do not understand them LOL

From The Queen's Royal Lancers Website:
Goodbye to my England, So long my old friend
Your days are numbered, being brought to an end
To be Scottish, Irish or Welsh that's fine
But don't say you're English, that's way out of line.
The French and the Germans may call themselves such So may Norwegians, the Swedes and the Dutch
You can say you are Russian or maybe a Dane
But don't say you're English ever again.
At Broadcasting House the word is taboo
In Brussels it's scrapped, in Parliament too
Even schools are affected, staff do as they're told
They must not teach children about England of old.
Writers like Shakespeare, Milton and Shaw
The pupils don't learn about them anymore
How about Agincourt, Hastings, Arnhem or Mons ?
When England lost hosts of her very brave sons.
We are not Europeans, how can we be?
Europe is miles away over the sea
We're the English from England , let's all be proud
Stand up and be counted - Shout it out loud !
Let's tell our Government and Brussels too
We're proud of our heritage and the Red, White and Blue
Fly the flag of Saint George or the Union Jack
Let the world know WE WANT OUR ENGLAND BACK !!!!

I am not and never will be a European. If I had my way I'd fill that tunnel back in.

In the news today from America
A grandmother has shocked her friends and family after revealing she is having a baby with her own grandson.

Granny, 72, Having A Baby With Her Grandson
Pearl Carter, 72, says she has never been happier after beginning an incestuous relationship with her 26-year-old grandchild Phil Bailey.
The pensioner, from Indiana, US, is using her pension to pay a surrogate mother so they can have a child, reports New Zealand's New Idea magazine.
She said: "I'm not interested in anyone else's opinion. I am in love with Phil and he's in love with me.
"Soon I'll be holding my son or daughter in my arms and Phil will be the proud dad."
Her lover is the son of Pearl's daughter Lynette Bailey - who she put up for adoption when she was 18-years-old.
When his mother passed away, Phil tracked down his long lost grandmother and they quickly fell in love.
Pearl told New Idea magazine: "From the first moment that I saw him, I knew we would never have a grandmother-grandson relationship.
"For the first time in years I felt sexually alive."
It was during their second week together, after dinner and wine, that Pearl made her move.
"I called Phil into my bedroom, sat him on the bed, and then I leant over and kissed him," she added.
"I expected rejection but instead he kissed me back."
Phil revealed: "I wanted to kiss her there and then. My feelings were overwhelming.
"I love Pearl with all my heart. I've always been attracted to older women and I think Pearl is gorgeous. Now I'm going to be a dad and I can't wait.
"Yes, we get laughed at and bullied when we go out and kiss in public but we don't care. You can't help who you fall for."
The pair paid $54,000 (£35,000) to find a surrogate mother and buy a donor egg to inseminate with Phil's sperm.
They placed an advert asking for an open-minded surrogate, and Roxanne Campbell applied.
"Initially I was shocked," says Roxanne, 30. "But they're a brilliant pair and I saw how much they loved each other. I know the baby will be loved too."
Pearl said: "I am finally going to be a mum and not forced to give up my child. Phil's going to be a great dad.
"I never in a million years thought at 72 I'd be 'pregnant' and in love with my grandson.
"I make no apologies and I believe God's given me a second chance."

Only in America.

I don't get the Grandmothers claim to be having a baby, she isn't contibuting any biological material.

When the baby is age 6 and starts to realise what is going on it's mother will be more than old enough to be it's great grandmother, which of course is also going to be their only claim to being related.
When lovey dovey Phil is 40 and realises, as we all do, that he is still young, his "partner" may be 86 and that won't be anything like as much fun.
Perhaps she is rich.

Now we all know what the saying "Only in America" means. Knowing the Americans the child will probably grow up to be President.

Mind you I'm not so sure one or two of ours were not the results of the same sort of relationship.

Phil

stories like this make me vomit.

John

You know what makes me feel worse. its newspapers that print such garbage just to sell more papers.

You'll never guess who I bumped into in town ?

I have some news about the Green lane Small Heath area, I think I reported recently that the old Avenue in Green Lane is now used by an Islamic organisation, now so is the Lion and Lamb in Yardley Green Road. Two more pubs on the disappeared list.

I'll tell you what I think.
Regarding the Dalek, I think you look plain scared and are wanting to hide behind the setee.

Where was this and how did it come about?
