Dale why did u delete my comment about your friend Andy Stephenson. It was valid wasn't it????
No Mr Draper links - he will be so disappointed!
PS Donal's link is great
PPS Do try Croydonian's latest offering - it is quite stunning.
I do not respond to comments which begin with Dale. My name is Iain. Or Mr Dale to you.
I confess that I like 'Burning our Money's spoof - not least this bit
"Q2 Chairman: That's all very well Mr Bennett, but the evening news bulletins need to see you humiliated. Please tell the Committee what formal Prune Minister qualifications you have.
Mr Bennett: Well, I've got a history degree, I've worked in TV, and I've been a professional politician for 25 years."
The question to a former chairman of a billion pound company about his qualifications from an MP --- an MP !!!!!
I found at the time deeply deeply ironic.
Post-ironic even.
And then there is this comment
"HBOS's head of risk was fired by Sir James Crosby, a man who not only got knighted by Brown, but was also made Deputy Chairman of the friggin' FSA!!!! Has Brown ever touched anything that hasn't turned out to be an unmitigated disaster?"
err... the answer to that last is NO!
What on earth happened at Edinburgh University I wonder when Brown was chancellor there?
Iain, are we allowed to refer to you as ID?
Or Dale-o?
oohh Mr Dale your Highness,(i will control my temper and keep my views personal or send them via email) (hint hint) will you plese answer my question.
why did u delete my comment about your friend Andy Stephenson. It was valid wasn't it????
By deleating the comment do you confirm that my suspicions are correct??
7's the tectonic
It has to be shown
16 girls had acid thrown over them in a classroom in Khadahar. I am gone, not angry.
It's problematic that there's so much money in smack.
Whipped Senseless also has the story about the CoE banning its clergy from the BNP. Not surprising as BNP membership is incompatible with membership of the human race.
#3 is missing the link (on FF3, at least). Is the @ in Capitalists@Work breaking the hyperlink?
I made the mistake of belieiving you when you said Donal Blaney's fisk of Clare Hzlegrove's 25 things was funny. I should have known better with him - it was merely offensive, although she does set herself up somewhat.
no one
wv: hancyank ???
Pendle Truth: "Dale why did u delete my comment about your friend Andy Stephenson. It was valid wasn't it????".
Iain Dale: "I do not respond to comments which begin with Dale. My name is Iain. Or Mr Dale to you".
Looks like a response to me. Miaowwww!
Pendle Truth, You're well on the way to being banned from this blog. If you want to make allegations against anyone use your own pisspoor blog to it, not this one.
Iain if you were in tune with the blogosphere and not living in your fantasy world, you would know that I no longer have a blog due to the fact that I could not update it regularly.
I thought you were an advocate for freedom of speech, so would this not infringe my right if you block me?
(I think I hit a nerve with my comments)
You have no rights on this blog. You are here at my invitation. But if you persist with malicious insinuation I will withdraw that invitation. Thank god you don't have a blog any longer.
