You're squirming Chaz, it's deeply un-attractive.
It is easy to transpose our own "deeply-unattractive" faults and
imagine them in others Didge! Heal thyself old chum...
Yes but, you're wrong.

But then you would say that wouldn't you? Every time someone points
out your shortcomings you resort to the same puerile nonsense. You
should do more listening and less talking old chum.

But in your defence of the point, you've stated that something that
started in 1888 and has continued until the present day isn't a tradition.
I'm saying it is, and your only defence is to become agitated and start
talking about liberals. It's quite pathetic.


It was first performed in 1888, and then again, by your own admission
in 1905, and at the very least, regularly since the 70s. Exactly how
is this not tradition?
You can't invent traditions just because something has happened a few
times before.
How about 4-500 times for the last 120 years?

You make it up as you go along you bugger.

A very conservative best guess.


Your further ad-hoc arguments, as usual involving americanisms about
the left,
You need to understand just what politics is all about Didgerman, for
***'s sake - you've got more than enough time!
Yes, according to you politics is all about calling people 'liberals'
when they don't agree with you.

As a right wing Conservative it is apparent that most of the old
'first-world' countries have, as they inevitably do, imported and
adopted most of their new ideas from the USA - including left-wing
liberalism. This means that feminism, political correctness and social
engineering is rife. If you don't recognise the problem - then you are
part of the problem...

A meaningless statement. So, are you now saying {in defence of the
'non-traditional' haka} that modern left wing politics came from the US,
rather than the working classes of Victorian Britain?



I think you'll find that makes you a dictator,

I believe in the rule of law and democracy, which means governments
supporting what the majority of the electorate want, which doesn't
mean pandering to vociferous self-interest minority groupings!!

You're way off on a tangent again Charles, and spectacularly wrong as
usual. A democracy respects the basic rights of a minority and preserves
its status for future inclusion in the democratic process. You can look
that up anywhere.


whom by definition is excluded from the political process.

Nonsense; they are just not interested in democracy, but even despots
are part of the political process. I told you that you know very
little about politics - QED!

If only it was. Dictators that do politics, that's a new one on me, and
er, everyone else......


are just proof that you're not Twickers material.
I'll pass that on - it may surprise some people, but if I tell them
who the prick was that said it, they'll no doubt understand...
And dutifully have you sent to the choirs.

What the *** are you on about now halfwit?

The upper seats, sometimes called the choirs.
I realise that it's been some time since you could bound up to row X....


If you somehow manage to gain entrance, try and sit at the back where
you can't be seen, or heard.
That's not very likely!! ;o)
Flatulence?

Now you're talking a load of hot air - as usual...

...would you care for a damp flannel?

Not after you've used it no.


Can't stop, off to work.
Try and regain some composure whilst I'm out.

Yes Didge - by then he will have wheeled out his favourite phrase at you -
'Corinthian ideals' - it's bound to happen.

I was going to, but I won't now so there!

However, that doesn't mean that the loss of the Corinthian ideals from
the very English game of rugby football, isn't mourned with
increasing sadness every passing day.

The game has been hijacked in the name of power-seeking followers of
Mammon!!
