National Treasures that get on your thrupennies...

[Joey Shabadoo]

And we are back to the fun and friendly casual misogyny.

Funny you read it that way. It's a thread about irritating "National Treasures" and Drago commented that one was better with the sound turned down. You read my comment and instantly made a connection between "turning sound down" and "women". I'd suggest you have an attitude problem as you seem to have an issue about seeking to control women.

Yeah, well I read it that way too but couldn't be arsed to respond.
Edit/ maybe I should have specified I read it as about women...

I think people see what they want to see. Projecting, you could say.

The dictionary helpfully defines a "national treasure" as "a public figure regarded as being emblematic of a nation's cultural heritage or identity".

But don't let that get in the way of the fun we're having.

Interesting list in the Independent - http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/50-national-treasures-957884.html

8 Norman Lamont. Getting us out of the ERM all those years ago started a run of relentless prosperity. We've been singing in our baths for 15 years.

12 The people who invented the Access card. It took the waiting out of wanting. The concept worked well for very many years, and may again.

20 Camilla Batmanghelidjh. Rare it is to find a Bird of Paradise in social work. She twice remortgaged her house to fund her work in Peckham.

33 Gordon Brown (FAHF). His amazing public spending over the past 10 years means we can now get an appointment for an operation in a hospital.

35 Boris. The only politician who attracts voluntary attention. Media and public press into committee rooms to see him. "What's everyone doing here? Pure routine. Prodding forward defence. Nothing to see," he says as we shoulder our way in. He has the first virtue of a democrat: to make government interesting.


Oh how times change
