My dear Dad told me once 'never stop doing what you can because when you can't, you'll regret it'. Now I know he was referring to playing sport and keeping fit and healthy but I took him literally. So here I am in Tenerife, enjoying some winter sun and CL football. Forest top for the Liverpool game (yes the legendary 3rd kit) and still found Forest fans. Regrets, I've had a few but why meet a Scouse girl on holiday and not Nottingham girl. What life changing decisions have you made gents? Bowie and his US lady intrigues me. Hopefully Trump succeeds and no dramas. ?.

To get busy living and not get busy dying Scouse. Enjoy mate!
07 Nov 2024 08:42:23
Scouse, as far as Trump is concerned, there’s an old Russian saying ……. ” When a clown enters a Palace he doesn’t become a King. Rather, the Palace becomes a Circus……. ?.
07 Nov 2024 08:50:38
5 yrs ago I was fit and healthy played sport all my life travelled to many places then bang I spend more time sitting in NHS waiting rooms, so enjoy your time with family and do things now if you can. you could have a DICKY TICKER look at Chris Hoy fit bloke now looking at a dicey few years.

Wise words indeed scouse bud. Enjoy the sunshine. i'm jealous. Wife absolutely jumping for joy trump got in. She was actually in tears.

Let's see what Trump has got planned for the UK to do.
07 Nov 2024 09:55:29
Stokey. a quote from Miguel de cervantes. the cleverest character in comedy is the clown, for he who would make people take him for a fool, must not be one. ?.
07 Nov 2024 10:17:34
Trump will make the world a safer place.
07 Nov 2024 10:42:33
Pollyard, hopefully stop wasting money in Ukraine.
07 Nov 2024 11:07:25
Mark robins sacked from Coventry city.
07 Nov 2024 11:19:18
That war will be finished on January 21st, scouse. Well, according to Trump who stated that he will end that war in a day. He won't but he's that deluded he thinks he's the saviour. He's only missing a red nose, oversized shoes and a water-squirting flower. The bloke is your archetypal US presidential hypocrite.
07 Nov 2024 11:42:06
Very well said vale and scouse.
07 Nov 2024 11:54:39
And this country will pander to the US as usual. Like the good obedient little boys and girls we always are.
07 Nov 2024 12:04:18
Skegs, impressed by that quote mate. Recently read Cervantes “Don Quixote”. The fool in King Lear is a key character, the only one allowed to tell the King he’s wrong through the medium of jokes. As he says when King Lear gives his power and land away to his evil scheming daughters “I’m a fool but thou are nothing “.
Anybody else saying that would be executed or in the stocks
Goes back a long way. Roman emperors entering Rome after a victory in battle on a golden chariots pulled by hundreds of captives and escorted by the legions would have a “licensed fool” in the chariot with him constantly taking the p. reminding him to be humble and not too cocky.

Trumps no clown, who would you rather have a man with a vision who can and will turn America around, or a Obama puppet who hasn’t a clue how to stop illegal migration. Nor would she lift a finger to help many thousands of USA veterans get their lives back in order. You only have to see the people living in tents all over America. It’s shameful and that geriatric senile Biden did nothing for them. Trump will turn it around believe me.
07 Nov 2024 12:39:25
Sorry, but I don't see anything in Trump, or Biden come to that. Please enlighten me because I don't see it.
What the US needs is a third party with more balanced policies.
07 Nov 2024 13:15:42
Well polly we pander to illegal immigrants while our servicemen sleep rough and pensioners freeze, so why not Trump? ?.
07 Nov 2024 13:19:51
One thing Trump won't do is 'make america great again'. Because it's never been great in the first place.
07 Nov 2024 13:57:05
To reply to your post red socks, on your latter suggestion about a third party I'm in agreement with that, but don't see it happening because the American people have always had two parties. and with the way they go about with laws in different states just don't see it happening. As for trump, he's a business man, a hard nosed business man who doesn't have to answer the the faceless people who wander the corridors of the white house. Biden was always out of his depth, and I think a lot of his stumbling and mis quotes were a cover for his incompetence. In trump America now has hope.
07 Nov 2024 15:54:56
What goes on within the boarders of the US and how it's veterans are treated should be non of this countries business or interest, Red Vale. Only the US's foreign policy should matter to us as it's the UK that will follow them blindly and do what they tell us and when they tell us to do it.
07 Nov 2024 16:02:12
Trump will look after his own something our priministers won't do.
07 Nov 2024 17:04:07
US great at inventing cartoon characters and cartoons. There is a third party in the US, but as yet not got into full swing, the Greens.
07 Nov 2024 18:10:23
Polly, the Americans haven't really bothered with us since 1776, so why worry about them bud. Seems to really get to ya. Redsocks we have a few parties but there's only the tories and labour get a shout. Btw they do have independant partes in America, sir.
And trump, any money he makes as president he donates to charities. The laddy loves the country full stop. As for being thick polly, do you know anything about trump's empire and how he got there?
Btw that's my last on it. Was only happy for my wife.
07 Nov 2024 19:10:42
I’ve been thinking about your “Sliding Doors” question Scouse mate. Often the smallest decisions or events change your life. My Dad ( confirmed by my Mum) always tells me he met her at a dance at the old Sherwood Rooms when she accidentally trod on his hand in her stilettos as she danced on a raised stage and he rested his hand on it.
There’s a great poem by the American Robert Frost called “ The Road Not Taken” 1915 which I commend to you. Also, the immortal lines from TS Eliots “Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” 1911 ….
“ There will be time, there will be time
For a hundred decisions and a hundred visions
And revisions
Which a minute will reverse
Time for you and time for me
Before the taking of a toast and tea”
As for Trump that’s democracy folks! As Churchill said “Democracy is undoubtedly the worse form of Government, apart from all the other forms of Government that have been tried from time to time”.
Just thank God that, for all its faults and imperfections, we have all presumably won the winning lottery ticket by being born in the UK. America is a great country but seems to have gone from revolution to decadence without passing through the stage called civilisation ( I think Dickens or George Bernard Shaw said that but I can’t remember off the top of my head) …??.
07 Nov 2024 20:11:24
You're in your own darkness polly. Open the blinds. Then the window. Smell freedom and happiness. Just a thought, sir.
07 Nov 2024 20:19:01
Pollyard, I've not said anything about us getting involved in US problems, we have enough of our own. America always looked after their vets but you only have to see the homeless over there it's beyond comprehension and every city and town has it. if trump can get a grip on it then this country can follow suit and sort our homeless out. Not much to hope for is it, unless you're one of those who don't think it will happen to them.
07 Nov 2024 20:38:22
We love trump we hate thatcher the end ?.
07 Nov 2024 21:50:17
Bowie, send my regards to your good lady. Lockdowns sent me down rabbit holes and a fascination with US politics. Trump is a divisive character but I appreciate his bluntness. I backed him in 2016 at 9/ 2 but odds were pants this time. Especially with the danger of election rigging. Has it happened here? Not sure but only 9 million voted for Labour, so apathy our problem. I believe our immigration issues need to get as bad as the US, before we rise up in protest. Politicians, can't stand any of them.
07 Nov 2024 22:30:20
Skegs for next priminister ?.
07 Nov 2024 23:25:10
We are the yes men to the yanks. Our foreign policy is dictated to us by the US. We still believe that there is a special relationship but it's a myth. They take the proverbial out if us in our willingness to do whatever they tell us to do. We are so spineless it's comical at times. But they're are still people that believe we are a strong country on the world stage. We are laughed at.
07 Nov 2024 23:27:39
His dad gave it him. He's a terrible businessman.
08 Nov 2024 07:36:46
This dark room I occupy is not nearly as black as my soul, Bowie. And in this dark room I seek a black cat.
08 Nov 2024 15:33:28
Passed that on scouse bud. She really appreciated it. We are reds polly not going to get into a slagging match bud.
