    Labelled too? as in, aswell?
    Never read it borrowers, (contrary to what has been said, I dont read papers, non of em, they are all biased one way or another) tend to think JC is OK for a bit, and I must admit he does say what he thinks,
    but as you say not always easy to agree with.

    yes aswell.

    haven't you ever been 'labelled' in this pc world (not the shop)? you must have cos you have strong opinions. you're not allowed them unless you agree with everything ;)

    cheers

    Don't think Jeremy Clarkson says what he thinks at all. He's a very clever man and says what will make him loads of money. A very unpleasant person.

    Blimey, borrowers, must we careful what we say, or we will be labelled?

    Will the secret PC police come round to get us?
    If so, I ask, who is the most dangerous, those with strong opinions or the secret PC brigade. [​IMG]

    Really John? i'm not being sarcastic, i really mean that. i have been told i am very naive. even though i'm not young & have been about (a little) bit. again this is the truth. honestly. i only say this cos you (lot) are so clever & it takes me a while, if at all, to realise when you are joking.

    is that what jc is? well in a way good for him. but what you said has made me look at him differently now cos i did think he really felt the opinions he was writing about. stupid again, aren't i?

    cheers John, you are not only clever but funny too. not many about like you.

    Pete, i'm not clever like you & i'm definately at a loss to know what to do for the best. but yes, you must know that anyone with strong opinions gets 'looked at' & labelled.

    if you are a loyallist you are labelled, if you are not, you do. if you eat meat, you are, if you don't you are. if you are a smoker you are, if not you do. if you even have an opinion about things you are labelled.

    From what i have gathered from your comments you are not a 'do gooder'. you have opinions that might not be ok with this 'pc' country we have. look out, you may be labelled. i agree with alot of what you say by the way, so i will probably be bugged here soon. am i paraniod?

    cheers

    borrowers, I will tell you what your "lable" is, you are "normal" just like the rest of us. So welcome and join in the debates and have your say. You are entitled to your opinion just like everyone else on GC. That`s what makes it a really good site. [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Nobody gets bored with us. But they might want to kill us..... [​IMG]

    I think just about everybody agrees that we all have a right to different views but we aren't going to genuinely fall out with each other (except Pete, PeterS, daitheplant, shiney, MF, LoL, Geoff, wee willie winky etc.)

    Hey. I just bought a Ã?£200 art deco coffee table on eBay for Ã?£10 plus Ã?£10 shipping. No one else bid. [​IMG] I don't care. I love a bargain. :D

    Just noticed your comments on PC Pete. I am politically correct and everyone else is wrong and unless you agree with me, you will all end up in hell (or McDonald's - same thing) [​IMG]

    John, you can't be right because I'm the only one allowed to be right [​IMG] and I'm keeping all the remaining space in hell for the politicians and a few others :D

    John :D :D :D

    Blimey I wouldn't mind hell, probably meet a few friends.
    Just dont threaten me with Mc Donalds, thats one scary place. [​IMG]
    borrowers,
    Thanks for calling me clever, but compared with the others I'm not,.... I keep saying it, I only say what I see.

    Not wishing to start an argument John, but how can it be a �£200 table if you bought it for a tenner.
    Surely that makes it a �£10 table. :D
