You really need to get handle on when to use the facepalm emoticon. You use it about every three posts and haven't a clue as to when it's appropriate have you? Next you'll be claiming I've done a u-bend again or some other nonsense

As usual you revert to type and again try to take the thread off topic with personal snipes, like you've said before, you know you've lost it when you resort to those tactics.

Yep, like I said, they're your words, not mine! In another thread you asked whether you or Ding had a higher IQ (how vain/insecure are you! ). Your answer is here for all to see, you do yourself no favours!

Whoosh... and over your head the comment goes... again! It's so hard trying to have a discussion with you when you're just not up to my level.

Come on then, let's have another facepalm

You never know when to stop do you. It's too easy, much like your epic fail in not getting putting the "n" in cut gaff. (#32) I'll stop now, it's just not fair on you.

To this day you still don't see what was wrong with that do you? I know you keep pleading that this is not your first language, but why do you keep needing to prove it by trying to make quips that just don't work basically! I would insert a facepalm here but you have used them all up

You also seem determined to drag this thread further off topic having whined about that only a few posts ago. Is your thread, that let's be honest was posted as no more than another opportunity for you to dig at Labour, not working out so well for you?

Look, I was perfectly happy to enter into a debate with you, I responded to posts on page 1 and 2 in a polite and reasoned manner, but you always seem to feel the need to bait and drag this thread down like many others before with your continual personal snipes and eventually I responded in kind. If you can't add anything rational and reasoned to this thread, well then my response to you ends here. I know you won't feel hard done by. HTH.

We were sort of debating until you basically start telling me that if I choose not to vote I have no right to complain despite the fact that I and at least one other point out that spoiling your ballot has no effect and won't even be read except by the person who looks at the election ballot paper at the count. That frankly gets my back up as I have as much right as anyone to complain about the governing of this country regardless of whether I vote or not!

Natalie Bennett of the Green Party is fighting for the rights of rabbits up and down this country and want to ban hutches. She says "We need a party prepared for the real world."

Glad to see they're in touch with what electorate wants and understand what this country needs!

I listened to a lot of the election nonsense yesterday and it boils down to this:

Vote Tory who are promising the earth and watch them break every promise and deliver on nothing.

Vote Labour who will keep their promises but will destroy the country in doing so

Vote Lib Dem if you want a coalition with no teeth

Vote UKIP if you want a coalition with teeth and another election in 2 years

Vote SNP if you live in Scotland - probably the most astute political party in the election

Vote Green if you are stark raving mad

Vote Plaid Cymru if you are stark raving mad and Welsh (you poor b*****d... the Welsh bit not the mad bit )

That's probably not an unreasonable summary problem is it makes picking someone really difficult.

Have we done a poll yet? Be interesting to see if it mirrors the ranker poll!

Just watched a neighbour erecting a large blue sign saying Vote Conservative in front of their house..... my question is why? Who walks past and says 'I had no idea which way to vote but now I've seen that there I will vote Conservative'?

Weird election trait that has always baffled me. If it was a proper poster with a message about their manifesto I would get it, but simply saying Vote Conservative or Vote Labour seems about as much use as a chocolate fireguard!
