    I have just watched most of the second presidential debate, not because I enjoy such irritating performances but because other people are influenced by them. There will be a 'verdict' of course; an ineviatble follow up which, in the US envoronment at least, is going to allow idiotic commentators to show how gullible they are.
    I noted a couple of things.
    1. Clinton is far more polished, politically experienced and self controlled. 2. Trump barely answred a question, confining himself largely to the character assassination of his opponent.
    3. Trump wants more nuclear deterrance for the US; apparently enough to destroy the world 100 times over is not enough!
    I think it is an experience that I will forego next time. Let us hope we do not allow such circuses to happen here.

    I couldn't bring myself to watch it - I knew it would be just too dreadful and depressing.

    I have taken my pills and had a "little lie down", I am now recovered and

    On his well publicised recording: I didn't say that at all. It was
    locker room talk. Sorta like Clayton's talk - the thing you say when
    you aren't saying it.

    FFS, We don't need politicians to tell builders, developers and property
    managers what kind of fucking carpet to use.

    If wool is no longer the best product why entrench legislation to mandate its
    continued use?

    Wool carpet's a pain anyway - solution dyed nylon is tougher, holds its
    colour and doesn't leave you with months of fluff as it beds in. Perfect for commercial buildings.

    What next Winston, will you tell us what material our underpants must be made
    of? Piss off.
