If we’re talking arguments – then this Monty Python sketch is probably the funniest and cleverest summary of what an argument is.
The Monty Python Clinic sketch is truly hysterical – so give it a watch!

Cats are better than dogs – FACT! – well that’s according to the mountains of YouTube clips people have made supporting the argument.
So I’ve collated a whole selection of clips on the debate of whether cats are better than dogs.
If you’re interested in this debate, then you’ll LOVE our fun “pocket argument guide” on the [...]

The breaking news this evening is that Gordon Brown is due to take on David Cameron in a live TV debate in the run up to the next election.
Many commentators are now questionning the Cameron’s wisdom in goading Gordon into having a live debate, and think that the Conservatives have more to lose than Brown [...]
