Great Miners Think Alike followed by Fuck The BNP or some other ideologically sound sentiment.

I know more about humour than you pal

Wasn't there a quote from some top govt. bod in the late fifties on being invited into the European Coal and Steel Alliance or something, something which would have substantially aided (?) the postwar economy along the lines of...

"I'm sorry, but the Durham Miners wouldn't wear it"

That was the Prime minister - tries hard to remember which one....

It was over the EU, and that PM was a Labour one, James Ramsay MacDonald i think. However, there is a slight chance I am wrong, I do hope my memory is not playing tricks however.

I think it was the befuddled incompetent Shinwell that said it.

McDonald was hoofed out in 1935. Atlee was PM at the time of the ECSC discussions.

It wasn't Shinwell. I'm surer it was Atlee before he was Prime Minister now, when he was in the War cabinet during WW2.

 

[The Black Hand]

I have the answer from the ever reliable google in "Socialist Parties and the Question of Europe in the 1950's" By Richard T. Griffiths

Morrison, who was acting as Prime Minister while Atlee was ill, is said to have reacted as follows when first informed of the Schuman proposal "It is no good, we cannot do it, the Durham Miners won't wear it".

I remember that Morrison was half cut at the time cos he was told over evening dinner.

Go to this page to see why Miners were a consideration in the steel negotiations;

So are there any mines left in Co. Durham or is this just like a leftie version of Disney's Main Street Electrical Parade?

Tell us a joke then, 'pal'.

Actually, there's no need. I've just looked at your posting history. Hilarious!

 

[albionism]

I design/make tshirts for a living (not screen printing), so we use my equipment, so the costs aren't the same as in a normal situation. You're probably looking at about £4 for screen printing iirc, maybe cheaper, but couldn't say for sure as it's been a while since I checked. Don't forget the cost goes up per colour.

Do you ever use sublimation? If so, how do you find it? any good?

Well it is better than your posting history by a long way, yours is being a boring fuckwit all the time.

Look here, Alanis - now that's ironic!

 

[The Black Hand]

Look here, Alanis - now that's ironic!

Now that's absurd.

 

[STFC]

Now that's absurd.

No it's not. By calling someone a "boring fuckwit" you demonstrated irony perfectly. Much better than that dopey Canadian bird, who thinks that rain on your wedding day is ironic. She doesn't get it at all. You clearly do.

Go to the top of the class (war).

 

[The Black Hand]

No it's not. By calling some a "bing fucit" you demonsted irny rfectly. Much bter than that dopey Canaan bird, who thinks that rain on your weding day is inic. She desn't get it at all. You clealy do.

Go to the top of the clas (war).

Absurd rubbish. Get a grip/life and go on a thread where you have a)something to say, and b)are wanted. Rather than parasiting on what i started...

 

[STFC]

What was that weird quote all about?

 

[scumbalina]

Do you ever use sublimation? If so, how do you find it? any good?

I went to a warehouse where they do it when I was getting my stuff serviced and got run through it/had a go, I was pretty impressed and thinking about giving it a go, I didn't get round to it as I needed to get the whole ink system etc and I knew I'd be taking time off when I was preggers (as I'm doing now) but I'd definately bear it in mind for the future, especially as it would work with some of the other gear I already have. yeah, I have to say I was pretty darn impressed. You can do coasters and mousemats and tat like that with it too

 

[The Black Hand]

That's your quote.

 

[STFC]

That's your quote.

I have come to the conclusion that you are quite mad.

 

[The Black Hand]

I quite mad.

yup.

 

[STFC]

Your behaviour is becoming increasingly bizarre. I'm genuinely concerned for your welfare.

 

[The Black Hand]

My behaviour is becoming increasingly bizarre.

Go lie down.

How about "A right Brown Balls up" - picture of hanging Gordon Brown and Hanging Ed Balls???
