Bill Hicks is a very funny man but as a go to for the disenfranchised its 20 years too late, sorry Pap you’re out of touch on this as well picking this social observer, its like a 13 year old talking about the genius of Kurt Cobain, simply weird and unoriginal.

I think you’ll find Bill Hicks’ material just as, if not more important than it was in its day.

He is smoking in his scenes so no that’s bad now, his dress sense is an affront to fashion and don’t get me started on his mullet. Try Rich Hall or Reginald D Hunter as they have a British slant on it as well.

LOL

I thought he was going suggest Denis Leary* for a sec there.

*Not sure on spelling. Don’t care if I got the cunt’s name wrong.

Les Dennis was only a name away…

You might have discovered an act there, Bazza. You know how Tommy Cooper’s act was being really shit at magic?

Go to open mike nights and describe comedians, and please get audio. No other Saints site would have such a draw.

And Tommy Cooper was genuinely funny yes I’m on to something…

Special challenge for you. Describe Michael McIntyre _in a positive way _to fans of Bill Hicks.

NB : ā€œHe’s not deadā€ is not a positive.

He’s probably better than he chooses to be ?

I know someone who knows someone who…isn’t a muppet who has compared him favourably (in my presence) to Peter Kay on the basis that they do much the same but the former works harder at it. Bit of a shame really; think nothing of either of them and they’ll not get elected to presidentship and probably aren’t known by Trump or Clinton.

Cruz completes a comfortable victory, bigger tests for him ahead but Christ he is nearly as bad as Trump, Clinton merely proves name and money (like Trump) can buy influence and power, I’d love to see a showdown between Sanders and Trump.

World changing events over the pond and yet the Brit Tabloids online are ignoring it as usual on their front pages…

Iowa has spoken, now the games get real, Trump should win New Hampshire but has taken a knock to his confidence, and I bet Hilary never expected a dead heat when she was so far ahead in the polls 12 months ago.

Popcorn time

With her money, power and influence I’d be surprised if Clinton couldn’t seal the deal.
Style and ticking boxes over substance, the democrats want a woman in power, Sanders is a conviction politician and Clinton is a modern diplomat.
Its a shame but real politicians are dying.

Sanders was 30 points behind her at one point. Apparently neck and neck in Iowa.

I corrected it for you Barry.

If real politicians still had to be on the front line when they sent the cannon fodder into battle you would probably see a lot less wars started.

Very simplistic and ask me the name of the last politician that went into battle I couldnt tell you. Not the name of a soldier that became a politician after the event.

But the world events are backing up like they did in the 1300’s the rich few held power and are sending the minions into battle for them then raking over the remnants to maximise their profits or if your on the muslim side the prophets.

Clinton is everything I can not stand about politics, the liberal elite yet again riding in on a white horse to save the poor and needy, the Clinton’s want a dynasty like those bootleggers the Kennedy’s.

Then I daresay you’ve never looked into her history.

She’s worse than your billing.

I don’t understand the poll. The OP asks several different questions, so which one relates to the poll?

Trump gets all of the bad publicity because he actually stands up and says ā€œI’m fucking horrible and here are all the terrible things I’m willing to do if you vote for me.ā€, which is pretty straightforward and honest. The other blokes are no better, but try to present themselves in a more ā€œstatesmanlikeā€ fashion. I hate them all equally.

Barry not having a clue? Shocker.

Interesting result last night. Didn’t think Cruz would have such a large margin, also didn’t think Rubio would be so close to Trump either.

Wonder if Trump has a touch of Farage about him? Good at spouting populist ā€œclose the borderā€ nonsense to the delight of the clapping idiots, but unable to actually convert that into real electoral support.

Still can’t see Bernie winning it, for the same reasons I outlined previously. He’ll terrify the general American public, screams of ā€œCommieā€ all over the shop. Would like to be wrong on that, however.

Tony Benn - In the Second World War, Benn joined and trained with the Home Guard from the age of 16, later recalling (2009) in a speech: ā€œI could use a bayonet, a rifle, a revolver, and if I’d seen a German officer having a meal I’d have tossed a grenade through the window. Would I have been a freedom fighter or a terrorist?ā€.

Obviously a larger number of older (aged 70+ now) and former politicians will have done national service prior to entering into politics.

Either way it’s nice to see a wheel fall off the Trumpwagon.
