But not one with any form of fixed penalty record or with a charge of misleading the House of Commons hanging over it.

Why is it that something this bunch of no-longer selfless greasy-pole-climbers consider this such a great sin when, come election time, they all practise grander deception on an industrial scale?

Rather like the 'No more oil' lobby, in their confectionary influenced targeting their friend and ally, Guido would have garnered wider electoral support had he published his manifesto in the cellars of the lower house.

A thought for the day. Solar power is the way forward. However, it won't happen overnight.

How can you sex it just by the avatar view? Usually with birds, the brighter and more decorative the plumage the more likely it is a to be a male. I suppose it could be a wee free hen, they don't go in for gay anything.

Hen? As in domestic fowl? No, wrong species.
The choice was, as Avatars should be, an oblique indication of the actual person.
In this case, completely Kwackers.

points to ponder...

Now that the Scottish First Minister is a second generation from Pakistani heritage.
And the UK Prime Minister is a second generation from Indian Heritage.

So maybe one of the first things on the joint agenda is the 'partition' of the UK.

Yes Dave but what about the big yellow root and the nearby blue root ?
Do you think it will hurt if I just put an axe through them?

Something might go "Booooom". Remember Richard Harris in the film "Juggernaut?"

I only remember Richard Harris as Lawrence of Arabia and for being married to Elizabeth Taylor.

He starred in four of my favourites: The Wreck of the Mary Deare, Gladiator, Patriot Games and Harry Potter.
