Being born working class shouldn’t have held him down; being born the son of a shipyard owner shouldn’t have made that Stephens man a shoo-in for the job.<br /> Al, my dad was a marine engineer - I’ve always called them boats ‘cause it annoys the hell out of him; no offence. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=45157#post-129321 Tue, 10 Jul 2012 07:19:32 +0000 The All New Jeni B 129321@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>He was Thor, and what impressed me was his realisation that going out on strike was not helping anyone.<br /> By instigating a 'work-in' he achieved far more, proving that his men could and would work efficiently.</p> <p>What struck me was the thought of how different his life would have been had he been born middleclass.<br /> A greatly intelligent, mostly self-taught man. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=45157#post-129289 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 22:06:09 +0000 Thor 129289@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>That’s the one; Reid was eloquent, and a surprisingly sympathetic character. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=45157#post-129284 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 21:23:24 +0000 Golgo13 129284@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Panty liners? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=45157#post-129281 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 21:08:22 +0000 Al OPecia 129281@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>SHIPS!!!!!!!! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=45157#post-129275 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 20:26:59 +0000 The All New Jeni B 129275@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Was that the one about Clydeside?</p> <p>I've seen it a couple of times, and am always impressed by the oratory skills of the late Jimmy Reid. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=45157#post-129273 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 20:23:13 +0000 Thor 129273@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Disappointing really, it’s about boats. </p>
