Can stand bullshitting fools like my local tyre shop owner who apparently qualified as a doctor, studied law, owns a hospital, is an internet entrepreneur and broke all at the same time.

He's still cheap though so I'll head back when I need new 245/40 18 Bridgestones 

I suffer people who don't suffer fools gladly, gladly....as long as the fools they don't suffer are total fools and not just people who are occasionally foolish but really mean well, and are not just foolish in general.

As for the fools themselves, sometimes I suffer them gladly, sometimes I kinda grit my teeth and roll my eyes, and occasionlly I lose the plot (and all my dignity) and tell them to F off.

Well, that explains why I failed my maths O level

I'd better not discuss the calm down dear comment...... that way leads to ranty territory.

It also explains why I don't teach English.

I suffer fools much more gladly than some other folks who think they're grand.

Why would anyone suffer anything "gladly"?  That would be foolish.

I agree.......... I think *decides to get Ducky to explain it later*

Maybe he was trying to do like the Michael Winner insurance advert!

He's the Prime Minister and should remember to act like it. Having said that, the Commons is a bear pit, anyhow, he will have to learn not to disgrace himself like that again.

I'm a very perceptive person and can spot a fool a mile of - I very much enjoy playing them at their own game.  However in regards to the Cameron comment I do belive that as per usual it has been blown way out of proportion - yes maybe it was alittle patronising but it was in no way sexist.

I thought that was exactly what he was doing.

Well ..............what can I say - I'll gladly admit to being a bit of a fool myself quite often. I'm glad I have people in my life who quite happily suffer me.

We can all make mistakes - much as I loathe Cameron with a passion - it really was simply a ill thought comment. No doubt he thought he was being humourous

I think that's what he was imitating

Probably said it before he thought about how it might come across.

That said, he repeated it quite a few times didn't he?

DC does have a sort of Michael Winner voice though.. very uncanny

Exactly Peach hence why he probably thought his joke would have great effect

Of the nauseating embarrassing kind. PMs seem to excel in this area.

I always think if you close your eyes and listen to Cameron he sounds like Chris Evans - try it next time you hear him.

In fairness that's a better call than Ed Milliband - Wallace minus Gromit to me everytime...

I'm a very perceptive person and I can spot you a mile of. As per the Cameron coment, we haven't heard enough from the feminists. Cameron was out of order.

I love fools, me

Bunty, love your new avi - you look gorgeous!  

Depends what kind of fools they are to my mind    

ahhh thank you It was my royal wedding special, one thought one should dress for the occasion

Exactly - and let's face it they do get rather over excited during prime ministers questions - it was something said in the heat of the moment that was meant to be humourous but as per usual in this country it has been over analysed and had the sexist label slapped on it.

Absolutely agree.

hmmm so that apology following your banning was not sincere - shame really as I was prepared to let bygones be bygones and make a fresh start with you however unfortunately it appears that you are not.  In that case I will revert to my older method of just ignoring you - it's a shame really however I am not prepared to go back to constantly rowing with you as quite honestly I have bigger things to worry about.  So like I say from now on I will not reply or in any way react to anything you have to say.  Would have been nice to lose the atmosphere on here but obviously that was not to be.

To others participating in this thread I would like to apologise for taking the thread off topic here however I felt that I needed to say my piece on this ocassion as I am usually seen as the bad guy on this forum yet that post alone clearly shows that I'm not.  Anyway that is the last I have to say on that matter - let's get back to the topic at hand.

is the wine talking in this thread?

Every time!

Spiffing Bunty, spiffing!  

Is there another option?

Full moon?  

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww bugger - all these years - I thought the wine was a pre requisite to join this club!

It helps

I've got to take my hat off to you here. You are very good at playing them at their own game. I had you down as a complete fool right from the start. Keep up the good work 

Still awake, breathing? ...
