How many in the 1000 club now then? I'm guessing easily 20+ posters?

perhaps before your time Moos. Prepare to literally die laughing...or something.

I think that's a very fair comparison moos, lets hope for the US's sake, that he can offer more than sound bites, spin and change for changes sake, whether or not it does any good :X

She wouldn't be the first journo to lift a story straight out the EDF now would she.

You don't want to go reading manifestos and policies Snorky. You know as well as I that damned few* vote for anything sensible like that. There may be almost no daylight between the clinton and obama platforms, but it's all about presentation and sound bites and of course Iraq. In Clinton you have a classic hard bitten politician, she's prevaricative and evasive. Not that Obama's entirely free of that, but he feels fresher, less in hock to those vested interests. When he speaks of change its believable. While ill the other day and flicking through the purgatory that is daytime tv, I somehow got as far as BBC Parliament that was showing a full obama speech. He's a very good orator, he's earnest, as I say believable and speaks of hope rather than of fear. I found myself quietly impressed by the man. Aaaah forgedaboudit...the Daily Mash as ever says it best. http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/international/clinton-slump-shows-u.s.-still-not-ready-to-vote-for-a-harpie-20080104634/ *well, in the US and UK, the likes of Spain and France are very different.

*splutters* I went to a comprehensive innit!

Uh huh. He's a decent chap, just likes to predict a defeat for the hammers more than most.

Simon, you'll never forgive us will you ;-p

I REALLY hope we're not still talking about oral sex here are we?

Yeah, I was forced to meet people in Slug & Lettuce Borough the other night, yards away from the George (which has always been a very pricey pub, tourist trap and all, just buy lager in the cheap place opposite and sit in the george's beer garden between them) which managed to hit 4 quid (not hit ????) for peroni, so it's catching in them parts.

Oh dear god lozzy, are you flirting?!

Ooh, on a whalebone typewriter with mother of pearl keys, all inlaid with silver? I do hope so. And are you really on a little cloud?

Was pretty dull. But I thought the first half was encouraging. given time (5 months preparation, plus plenty of time to grow during the ensuing year and a half) he may yet forge a half decent side. It was a friendly, they never exactly set anything alight do they. I swore I saw Rooney and Makelele hugging at one point!

I'm with Rose on this one. No business of MPs or councils is it? If ruthless practices are being used then surely a matter for the police or the courts.

ZZ Top subscribe to Esquire....fact!!!!

eeh gads its grey and dark and miserable and wintery and stark out there.....ppppppppphhhhshssssshwwwwwwoooOOOoooOOOO esmerine why she swallows bullets and stones

As usual well said. That's exactly what any good writing should do. I have feeds from all over the political spectrum, military analysts, geeks, comics, photographers, politicians, chefs, academics, mums from Dulwich, even that chap who used to be the annoying Wesley off Star Feck has a weirdly entertaining blog. Whole blogs are fine. This ones a good'un the BBC Editors Blog. Whatever you may think of the Beeb, it's always interesting to read what the people who make BBC News talk about the thinking behind their decision making.

And the great Joy of Sex Beard pandemic of 1972 led to the almost complete disappearance of new men by the turn of the millennium*. I think next stop New Scientist!! it's progress is excruciatingly slow, firstly you're clean shaven and out with your mates talking about football. You discover the first joys of beard and sex and pretty soon you're doing the washing up together and talking about skin regimes among couples after the ballet. By the time the beard is shoulder length the Vicar of Dibley is amusing, and soon the will to live is simply sapped from your body....or something.

Captain Birdseye did alright. Does that make beards fatal? hmmmmm.

Louisa?

fair comment. Where abouts did you live?

Our Supreme Leader you mean? ;-) 'Lenin' is a Trotskyist and more disturbingly a Respect activist. I don't agree with much that he has to say, but he has a very eclectic eye on the internet and the world in general and I do get to read a lot of things of interest by following the links, stuff that StumpleUpon would certainly never stumble upon. The straightforward description of the book was pretty interesting, but he does begin to completely lose it in the last few paragraphs as his analysis kicks in. I still think the book in question would be a fascinating read though.
