Re: What are they saying ?

Questions like this one bakerman assume (in the case of this Forum for example) that people who have been round the block, have held the same opinions (and prejudices maybe) for their whole lifetime, that may not be the case.

Sometimes statistics are more visible than attire.

Even Hardwired folks are subject to solder deterioration.

No, I definitely do not make that assumption. All I assume is that many times, but not all the time, people make a statement about who they are or how they feel at a certain time.

I most certainly do not believe that we can tell what politics, for example, a person holds.

Hardly surprising. The whole lot are inbred with all the consequences that come with consanguinity.

Well I firmly believe that the appearance of a person tells a very great deal about the nature of the person.

Take that arschloch Burnham for example. Low life low brow devious creep written all over him. David Cameron - a weak spear carrier but not a leader in a million years. As for Ed Davey, obviously a man of principles - just as was the Vicar of Bray.

As for BoJo, I see a highly intelligent man but who prefers to have fun rather than get deep and dirty into things.

Me? Take away the beard from Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin and you have me. At least that's what my wife has always said so I'll leave it up to others to judge my personality and nature. Maybe it's my Russian genes!

Just to be pedantic and raise a point of order, we do not wear `suites`, we sit on those as in a 3-piece suite. We wear suits.

Yes Judd, one rarely sees a discarded three piece Suit, at the side of the road.

Re: What are they saying ?

I once frequented a pub in Cardiff city centre on a sunday and one sunday the landlord wasn't to be seen, very unusual, and when I asked where I was I informed that he was resting as he had had a glass smashed on his head the previous day, the person who started the ruckus was described as the last person you would expect to cause trouble as he was in a suit with a collar and tie. A troublemaker disguised as a non-troublemaker, appearances can create an image that is also deceptive.

Yes, there are exceptions to everything. Example: most people who are driving on the highways are not drunk, but there is always going to be some idiot who does not care one bit about the lives of others.
