Where are the chattering classes ?

[youngmafbog]

Odd that we dont seem to get posts from SP. Gromit and Jake.

Is it that the civil service, and hence the chatering classes, now have to do some work?

[Lonnie]

Interesting responses, to what I deem to be a legitimate question, I've also locked horns, and agreements from those three over the years, although I'm sure I saw a reply to a question from sp a few days ago.

[New Judge]

Yes, SP has certainly been active (with a vengeance!) recently:

Jake is a girl...

George Orwell would be proud!

Interesting AOG. I think though some people are serial questioners or answerers. I think I would put you under the former whereas Jake seemed to give answers especially scientific ones where he had great knowledge.

[sp1814]

Jake's a woman???

Well blow me down...I did not know that.

No - I don't work for the civil service, and in the area that I DO work in, would never want to, as the public sector is badly underpaid in my area.

[ummmm]

Sp...have a look here. At jackthehats and BOOs answers...

"Jake was "active" on Sunday"

Oooh behave etc.

[Gromit]

AB started to feel samey and one of my new years resolutions was not to waste as much time on it. There were also a lot of new posters, so it seemed right to give them a chance

Also, I find the Coalition Government a bit of a joke so I generally agree with the criticism of it. In the past, if the last Government were being criticised and I thought unfairly, I would defend it. With this lot, I would find it hard to raise the energy to pyt a case for them.

And I have always worked in the private sector and still do. I have never been a civil or public servant. Saying that, times are harder and cannot justify wasting my firms time as much as I used to do.

jake the peg claims to be male - not to be confused with jack the hat, who doesn't. I think he's got some sort of scientific job, which doesn't sound like the civil service to me. sp1814 isn't a civil servant either, and Gromit runs a major tea-cosy importing business.

Apart from that, I suppose the OP is correct in every detail.

[sandyRoe]

Is there much of a demand for the foreign tea cosy?

[jno]

sandyRoe, Mexican ones are very chic right now. Next month it'll probably be Burundi.

[Gromit]

I'm afraid the bottom has fallen out of the importing tea cosy market. The Bedouin craftsmen who hand knit them out of camel dandruff are too busy rioting.

I have had to diversify into memory foam underpants.

[Ankou]

are you sure they don't knit them out of yoghurt, cos that aint been said in a while. at least 2 or 3 days.

[anotheoldgit]

/// I have had to diversify into memory foam underpants.///

I always wondered where you kept your brains Gromit. :0)

[Gromit]

Another AOG unprovoked offensive remark. The reason this site is going down the pan.
