Only about two months of current affairs apparently.

I think someone at Nobel has been drinking too much Sherry or whatever the Scandinavian equivalent is.

He's done a lot more this year for world peace than any of them did.

Not being George Bush was probably a big selling point.

That's a big selling point for anyone.

Can I have one then? I meet the two main criteria:

1) I'm not George Bush
2) I've not achieved anything in the whole world peace stakes malarkey

I'd support you paul, but I don't think the TEF is officially recognised as the Nobel peace prize awarding committee.  Shame.

None of the aforementioned did anything this year was his point.

Sorry, I need to read more carefully.

In support of Paul's claim for the Nobel peace prize I think killing thousands of Muslims and stealing some oil could help his cause

In fairness, I think that was more Bush than Obama. Hence the "Not being George" clause.

I'd also like to add to my claim by adding that I can wave nicely at crowds and have a reasonably presentable missus. And I annoy TalkTalk

Also, Henry Kissinger won one. I'd suggest that might not have helped the credibility much.

Couple of verses of "De Camptown Races" couldn't hurt.  Are the Television Toppers still available for hire ?

Nah, you don't annoy me Paul. I understand that your politics are insular, uniformed and destined for failure and doom.  :D

Let's take a little lookee at what Obama's change manifesto has achieved so far shall we?

To close down Guitmo. Naaat.

To end the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Naat.

To grow the American economy. Bail outs? Naat.

To end social injustice. New health care "program"? Naat.

He is no different to any other politician. He is a lying, deceitful thieving cunt. Tony Blair for the USA. Good luck America.

Although I can at least spell. Unless you actually meant that my politics (whatever that may mean) wear a uniform?

Cock. You know nothing about my politics. I don't really know what they are myself and you just make a whole shit load of assumptions based on your own swivel-eyed loon view of the world. Although, if I did wear a helmet it wouldn't be made out of tinfoil to "stop the New World Order UN black helicopters from stealing my brainwaves"

Hmmm. Let me see. On past form, rhetoric and attacks against anybody purporting to have their own mind and opinions I see that you are somewhat 'anti', shall we say. Blessed with the monickers that you have had on forums which vaguely elude to being somewhat 'on the left', I think I get a feeling what your politics might be.

So come clean Davis. Let us all know which side you hang on. It's easy. I will show you mine and then you show me yours. I'm an anarcho-capitalist libertarian. There you go. Now you tell me what you are.

Hmmm. You won't will you? There is no way on God's green earth that you will tell anyone what you believe because it is easier to sniper fire from the undergrowth. Prove me wrong. Expound your beliefs and make me look stupid.

I know you won't xxx

I've had a go at Ironside for being a Nazi. I've always been quite open that I hate Nazis. FWIW, I despise communists as much. And I've taken the piss out of you for being a nutter.

Eh? If you mean nicknames others have given me, I don't have a lot of choice about that. If you mean ones I've chosen myself, I've always posted as pauld pretty much everywhere, apart from one forum where I posted as tarka. As in the otter.

I'm not anything really. Mostly, if anything, a bit of a liberal, I guess, but like most people who don't sign up hook line and sinker for a full on ideology, I'm a bit of everything.

See this is the problem, Alan. You've signed up wholesale for a full on "ticks all the boxes, answers all the questions" ideology and you expect everyone else to fit neatly into pens. But most of us don't, and don't particularly want to. We just want to get through life and when we see stuff that's wrong or shit, we'll call it so. Sorry if that doesn't fit your world view and apologies for not wanting to neatly categorise myself into a pigeonhole, but there it is. We're not all born-again cultists

No straight answer then.

I'm not a cultist. I stand by logical reasoning, evidence and history to arrive at my political views. It's the scientific method wrote big. To me philosophy, ethics and where we are now is crystal clear. As a race of living human beings we have to do better than let others decide who we live as individuals. S'easy.
