You forgot your tags again Atila. Or was that quoted straight from a spittle-stained Daily Mail journo who hadn't been near a fact, leave alone an interviee in weeks?

Crabman?

Jah - quite. Does seem to be a very strange thing to discuss I must say, maybe he just liked to preach...which would make sense I guess. At least we know he's happy in his work. I'm 100% heathen so I'd rather not have to be within 100 miles of this nonsense, but Mrs Mockney wants it in her old parish church in Ireland, and once they have you by the short and curlies for a bit they do like to take advantage of that time. They've already tried to convert me the rotters, but I shall stay firm and true to my bloeved hurdy-gurdy-mushroom-man and shall have an extra long dance in the fungi fields to purge myself of the uncleanliness..

I have no idea KK, but the idea of a catholic priest informing me of how I should conduct married life is pretty laughable. 3 hours tonight and 7...7!?!?!?!?! hours tomorrow. Is that how long the water boarding takes to brainwash me into believing? I guess so.

My votes have always been wasted votes, I've yet to manage to vote anyone in to anything and I don't intend to start now. I reckon Partido Hache have to be the one. They're a light entertainment show, sort of saturday night live meets parkinson with a bit of spitting image thrown in. They've decided to stand for a bit of a laugh. Oh, and Fear'n'Boozing (who has some sort of posting issue at work) has asked me to say that I will... To answer your question DC I am indeed a Madrile?o, making me Castellano who claim to be the home of the truest Spaniards. My dad is Andalucian, an area which claims to be have truest Spaniards, unlike those darn Asturians who claim to be.....ad infinitum. It's a wonder Spain functions as a country at all frankly. Got to love it though.

*gulp* Oh my God!!! Look over there!!!! ----> *scarpers*

Red isn't it? My office is pretty red, it has recycling bins that they shove in the normal rubbish. They've begun encouraging us to switch off lights in the loos and shut down pcs at night though. And it's DEFINITELY not communist.

Cool, nice colourful badge. Sadly they don't seem to be on my electoral roll. I'm curious about PLEVE the state liberal work and living party, who seem to have no info as to what they're about, but there's something wonderfully gnostic and masonic about their symbol.

I guess it depends on what uses more energy, the light bulb or the heat sensor?

There's a party just up the road I'm going to afterwards, so I may be able to duck my head in briefly.

An Expres Par Avion turned up on my doormat this morning. I opened it up to find my voting slip for the Spanish national and Madrid Ayuntamiento (a bit like the mayoral one) elections. As we're flooded with US elections I thought I might give you a taste of what it's like elsewhere. This is no ordinary small piece of paper style voting slip; it consists of a broadsheet newspaper and a novel of names and parties. I'm torn, so much choice. So many pretty badges. So surreal! How do I choose between the Flange Espa?ola de la Jons or the Falange Autentica [splitters!]. The latter are doing all that nasty saluting type stuff and the former seem to like flowers so they must be nice. There's the Partido Antitaurino* or antibull party (which is pretty much what happens every time I go to a bullfight, sun, wine, cheering) and their bloodthirsty logo . So I'm tempted by that. I'm sure EVERYONE in ED would love me to vote Partido de los No-Fumadores. They're not campaigning against smoking, they just like to discuss politics with the windows shut. There are a couple of Carlists, whites, reds, 2 sets of greens, each using the word green twice in their title, the Verdes Comunidad Madrid Verdes de Europa and the Los Verdes-Grupo Verde which is a bit odd as they seem to be from the same party. That'd be like Ken and Frank Dobson both going for mayor....oh I'm warming to Un mundo Mas Justo with its fabulous logo . But can they hold a candle to the peaceful, anarchist, green naturist party Cultura Natural which could be painful frankly. Then Communists, Anarchists, Catholics, Democrats, Workers, Shirkers, Nationalists, Internationalists, Pro Family, Pro Revolution and the wonderfully relevant Espa?a 2000 who, being serious for a moment, frankly scare the willies out of me. Oh weep ye with so little choice i nyour quaint elections. *I tried to do an image search for the logo, for gods sake don't attempt it at work, clearly antibull parties are a slang term for something akin to, but more disturbing than, dogging.

Sadly it would appear i'm at rolling pin school tonight, so I'll see you all in March :(

For which i guess hot beeswax is best.

Found these on chromewaves who I'm sure agonised about touting them as a guilty pleasure "An outfit comprised of all siblings and one cousin hailing from the Texas Bible belt and trading in earnest, major label-endorsed pop-rock would appear to have about as much edge as a rubber ball." But I have to agree with them that there's a good pop sensibility in there, sort of Evanescence meet Girls Aloud. And they sure is purrrdy. Eisley - Invasion

I can bring mine tomorrow if you want it and are coming along. Crossword ain't virgin though.

Hear hear DC. Separation of the police and the CPS is one of the best things about this country and the ideal of the rule of law. Think before you print. *hmm, not very catchy - Rumination before Publication? Make sure it's not mutton, before you hit the button?*

I seem to recall Hethrow's currently at 80% capacity, but its runways were at 97%, hence why a bit of fog can cause such huge knock on effects.

Snorky a liberal suffering middle class guilt?!?! Now I've seen everything. can't imagine what you're talking about Asset, but does your local post box sometimes look a bit like this?

If we get hold of the premises I reckon we can go one better than 72 by reopening Number 73. Just what is Sandi Toksvig up to these days anyway?

Honaloochie, you are an shining example of bipolarity to us all

I tried Honaloochie, but couldn't find it anywhere. My searches threw up some other flaming types Flaming Lips - Can't Get You Out of My Head

Hurrah. Happy Birthday Andrew.

That's .... well...lost for words.

I agree, not sure what to make of it yet. Wassisname is pretty good considering he's essentially been given an impossible role. "Ok, you're an emotionless psychopath who has the knack of charming people, but you have to show the audience that your soul is empty, but err...make them like you enough to care" Good to see people trying something a bit out there, but not sure that the premise is actually workable without them breaking their ground rules. Anyway, definitely intrigued enough to give it a few more episodes. Anyone watching Reaper? I have to say I'm really enjoying it. The Wire it ain't, but man cannot live on bread alone.
