Outside chance of 1 seat, that's it! The sweaties are either Labour or SNP, so concentrate your fire on the marginals, that's where the battle is.

[anneasquith]

gives him a good excuse to be unavailable for the tv debate tonight , Scotland is so far away from London ?

[SirOracle]

I see you are at the "Sweaties" derogatory word again TTT....still, don't suppose you Little Englanders can help it.

[-Talbot-]

Because he is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and not the Prime Minister of the South of England?

[anneasquith]

are you really sure of that Talbot ?

[wolf63]

I have been known to vote Tory. I have never voted Labour.

[ToraToraTora]

rhymming slang is not derogatory nor intended to be, unlike the phrase "little Englanders" which is intended to be derogatory. Stop being so precious SirO,I have expained it many times.

Yes Anne that works I guess but he doesn't need an excuse really.

yes Talbot but why bother with a land that would rather be run by Jimmy Krankie?

///rhymming slang is not derogatory nor intended to be///

What a feeble defence of your trademark rudeness.

[SirOracle]

I will try to stop being precious TTT,when you make an effort to use English in your posts rather than Cockney slang........unless you were born within the sound of Beau Bells,and cannot help yourself.

[douglas9401]

"rhymming slang is not derogatory nor intended to be,..."

Septic tanks, Hamilton Accies, Sweaty socks, four by twos.....

All followed by, 'no offence mayte.

[Prudie]

Because if he doesn't he runs the risk of the Scots feeling disenfranchised..

[Baldric]

It's 'Bow Bells'

[SirOracle]

Thank you Baldrick for the correction. Half of my mind must have been in France. !! ;-)

Don't listen to the Bells in France, SirOracle...they will make you deaf!

[ladyalex]

I have to agree with SirOracle, Canary and Douglas that 'sweaties' is an offensive term.
I am offended by it.
I would prefer that you did not use it again.

[ToraToraTora]

douglas, Sacha Baron Cohen is a 4x2 look up the name of his production company.

[Pete65]

It is plainly obvious that TTT is not overburdened with intelligence, hence he/she does not realise the posts are demeaning and offensive.

[douglas9401]

Aye Tora, and we know how various rappers and others refer to each other in a certain way but it doesn't make it right in general conversation.

[maggiebee]

I have remonstrated with TTT before about using what I consider to be derogatory terms. However, this does not seemed to have stopped this "tumshie" using rhyming slang. So TTT, mine is not derogatory either - or is it?

[237SJ]

Likewise, I have mentioned on here how offensive the word 'Septic' is when referring to Americans. It`s strange because if someone on here said ***s they would be reprimanded but it seems that Americans and Scots are fair game.
