Absolutely agree Dboy - however you as a seasoned poster with near as makes no difference 500 posts should also know the function of the search button!!!! ;)

No, actually I dont.

But i will point out that the present post was motivated with respect to the fact that government were talking about having canadain Olympic athletes wear seal pelts in defiance of the EU's stance on seal hunting and is often the case with posting on here, it takes its' own route.

It could have been a good debate if heather mills were not there. I guess she later changed track and became focused on the 'Sir Paul Hunt' and left the seals to fend for themselves.

It was never going to be a good debate because Macca and his bird were not interested in a rational debate, nor was Larry King. I think Danny was doing a good job under the circs. but it was an uphill battle. Also his participation was more about scoring political points back home than changing perceptions, but credit to the man for appearing on US TV to defend something that court of public conviction has already damned.

Did you notice Macca's geographical error? PEI is not Newfoundland even if you are a former Beatle and richer than god.;)
