Evan Davies interviewed Ann Coulter to discuss Donald Trump. He just
wanted to put her through the mill about a joke she made years ago. Then
he dragged gay marriage into it! The whole thing was him pushing his
personal agenda. Fortunately she got the better of him and managed to
get her points across. It was hilarious really. It's about half way
through the programme.

I'd complain to the BBC but it's a total waste of time.

Yes for once I agree with you. This 'presenter' seems to always go in with a
pre conceived idea and is determined to prove himself right, well I never
saw this one so good on the interviewee for playing him at his own game.
Do these people think nobody notices?
There is a guy on ch 4 news sometimes who irritates me as he never lets
anyone finish answering a deliberately loaded question.
Why do they have to be so aggressive about it.

Makes you feel better though. Its a public service....
Incidentally the lack of research and knowledge about things to do with
space travel showed big and bright on all the channels coverage of the
British astronaut yesterday. made me cringe. they should have left it to the
experts.

Well some of these presenters are certainly no Robin Day are they. they
bluster about and sometimes I shout at the set and say ask them about this
or that but they are so blinkered they let that slide and create issues on
tother stuff that really does not matter. The good interviewer thinks on
their feet and tries to look for problems, but most of the current crop are
kind of robots looking to make their own points and not really listening

Exactly.
So, given the choice between her defending Trump and a BBC presenter who
happens to be homosexual, Bill's reaction is... predictable.

attractive daughters do, especially those unconfined by leftist
political correctness. It's a form of boasting. If Trump really did have
sexual feelings about his daughter he'd keep quiet about it, wouldn't he?

When you say the usual party political broadcast, i suppose you mean
when Davies interviews someone from the left.
Since you obviously agree with the Trump person.

well that's what some people say -- but I'm not homophobic. In fact I
like homosexuals very much, and I'd be one except that I've never been
all that keen on pushing my knob up another man's bum, and I do rather
like pushing it up women's cunts. It's a pity about that that really,
because I do often throw girly fits and I'm really very good at matching
colours and dancing. It's just that one thing you see. A cruel trick of
nature that's made me live my life in a the shadows as a closet
heterosexual. Ah well...

food (layers' pellets actually). I couldn't open my eyes and I had to
breathe through my teeth so I didn't suck the pellets in. I was worried
about the dust getting into my lungs though. I tried to stand up but it
was really hard to move, so in the end I gave up and just waited to die.

and yes, it's boasting, even when it's true.
I think Mr Trump's fault in this instance is not having a particularly
skillful way with words, which is an unfortunate trait in a
politician. It doesn't make him evil, just inept. He just says what he
thinks without any attempt at editing for tact. I can't help being
reminded of the Viz character Roger Mellie ("the man on the telly").

extended to heterosexual relationships - rather like the mythical
"common law marriage"). I'm not sure why the extension of the age old
word "marriage" to same sex relationships was considered to be so
important. Perhaps the elite wanted to be thought to be "modern" and

than just a legal union would have difficulty with that point of view.
That distinction caused all sorts of exceptions and exclusions in the
legislation that could have been avoided if civil partnerships were
extended to all unions whether same sex or hetero, and became the
default for Registry Office and every other non-religious location,
leaving marriage to be limited to religious unions and yet to provide
the same civil partnership register entry.
That would leave those who believe in a Sky Pilot comfortable within the
definition in their religious texts and everybody else treated equally.

You can't sell anything unless it has sex in it these days. Recently I
had to do this to sell an article:
There are computer programs that claim to predict the directional
qualities of an aerial, but the real life way is to take actual signal
measurements and make a polar response diagram, or PRD. Manufacturers
normally use an RF anechoic chamber with totally RF-absorbent walls, so
there are no reflections to confuse the results. These rooms are also
soundproof, and the door can be locked from the inside.
I knew Janet found me attractive, although as a professional I ignored
it, of course, or at least I tried to. We'd been working together on
antenna development for several weeks, and I'd read the signs; those
little almost subliminal glances and gestures, the way she let our heads
touch when we were scrutinising the analyser screen. So when we went
into the chamber, me carrying the new model of our UHF wideband product
and she carrying her laptop, she had an air of excitement that didn't, i
suspected, entirely result from our hopes that the modifications we'd
made to the antenna (we'd altered the element spacing a little and added
a new feeder connection box) would be successful. Although of course we
were pretty excited about that as well. We took signal measurements at
2 degree intervals as we rotated the aerial through a full circle.
Because there are no significant reflections in the chamber the signal
levels do not represent whatever signal is coming from the direction the
aerial is pointing; they represent the signal the aerial is picking up
direct from the transmitter — even though it is not aligned on the said
transmitter. It's all jolly interesting.
As we reached the 340 degree measurement, me working the equipment and
Janet logging the data, she suddenly murmured, "It's very hot in here
isn't it?" I nodded and said, "12.5dB. I say, these figures are rather
promising Janet. I'm rather pleased!"
Janet pulled her sweater over her head, and I noticed that she was
wearing only a bra underneath. She looked at me impishly and said, "You
don't mind do you?"
"Of course not!" I laughed. "I'm a man of the world you know!"
"Oh I'm so glad you're a man of the world!" There was something rather
odd in the way she said it. In retrospect I should have picked up on this.
Wishing to change the subject I said, "When we transfer the resulting
table of about 180 measurements to a concentric chart we'll see at a
glance the details of the new product's directivity."
"I can do it right now!" breathed Janet, jiggling her mouse about.
"There you are, take a look!" I moved across and together we scrutinised
the polar response diagram on her screen.
"Good heavens!" I exclaimed.
"Yes..." Janet whispered. "What do you think to that, big boy?" The
polar response diagram was quite unlike any I had ever seen before. The
main forward lobe was like a tower with a bell-shaped end. At each side
of it were two smaller, rounded lobes.
"Is that. . . the E Plane or the H Plane?" I gasped. "Or did you. . .
did you just draw it freehand?"
"Oh, come here you daft bugger!" laughed Janet, as she pulled me onto
the bed which was always kept in the anechoic chamber in case anyone
felt tired, and undid my snake belt, and

You can't sell anything unless it has sex in it these days. Recently I
had to do this to sell an article:
There are computer programs that claim to predict the directional
qualities of an aerial, but the real life way is to take actual signal
measurements and make a polar response diagram, or PRD. Manufacturers
normally use an RF anechoic chamber with totally RF-absorbent walls, so
there are no reflections to confuse the results. These rooms are also
soundproof, and the door can be locked from the inside.
I knew Janet found me attractive, although as a professional I ignored
it, of course, or at least I tried to. We'd been working together on
antenna development for several weeks, and I'd read the signs; those
little almost subliminal glances and gestures, the way she let our heads
touch when we were scrutinising the analyser screen. So when we went
into the chamber, me carrying the new model of our UHF wideband product
and she carrying her laptop, she had an air of excitement that didn't, i
suspected, entirely result from our hopes that the modifications we'd
made to the antenna (we'd altered the element spacing a little and added
a new feeder connection box) would be successful. Although of course we
were pretty excited about that as well. We took signal measurements at
2 degree intervals as we rotated the aerial through a full circle.
Because there are no significant reflections in the chamber the signal
levels do not represent whatever signal is coming from the direction the
aerial is pointing; they represent the signal the aerial is picking up
direct from the transmitter — even though it is not aligned on the said
transmitter. It's all jolly interesting.

the union of one man and one woman", or something to that effect. The
essence of it doesn't seem to have changed at all until quite recently
with the phenomenon that goes, at least colloquially, by the term "gay
marriage". I wonder if it is just a colloquialism, or something
concise enough for a newspaper headline, or has the meaning of the
word "marriage" actually been legally changed. Is it now illegal to
utter the old declaration that it must apply to one man and one woman?
If so, it would be understandable if people who have been married for
many years had objections to the significance of their own
relationship effectively being redefined by others.
