I agree with you Andrea. They are a childish distraction and this facility needs to go.

Hi bob,
I don't recall that? I might have been out of action at the time? Have you got a link to the poll please?

Thanks bob. Well I guess that settles it Andrea. We must bow to the forum decision.

You could take the Irish approach to the Lisbon treaty, and just keep holding referenda until the people vote yes  ;)

IMO, it is often the minority that knows whats best for the majority. ;)

Personally they don't bother me, but if smites are to go, then applauds should go too.

Andy, you're right. It just detracts from what we're trying to say, and it's spiteful. It's just basically a few sad sods who stay up all night, grinding their axe. Take it away, go back to the spirit of the forum when Mike was in charge, and lets crack on.
