Didn't Ed write the Labour manifesto for the last election? Personally, I think David has all the qualities of a used car salesman. I think it's the hair. Ed, at least, doesn't look like he sell off grandma at the first opportunity.

To piss CAT off, obviously.

Not the Man in the Moon, though.

Looks like I'm a pedant with poor sentence construction. Is that even possible? I'll try again. Not everyone knows wine is fined and a few vegans might be somewhat surprised to find that, unless marked as vegan, there is a possibility that egg whites may have been used in the manufacturing process, even though the possibility of egg white actually being contained in the wine is extremely low. Yes, there are clay based alternatives. And not all wines are fined. The value of your shares may go down. Don't run with knives. Beware of the dog. Edited, cos 'poor sentence contraction' doesn't make much sense either. I think it's beer o'clock.

As a proud pedant I'd also point out that a cow, minced into little pieces, formed into a hamburger and shoved into a bread bun is not, technically or otherwise, capable of f*cking anything but my cholesterol levels.

Wine fining is an interesting one. There should be no trace of the fining agent left in the wine, but you are right, a dead animal product can be used in the process (though more often than not a non-animal fininf agent is used). Gelatine and blood have been used as a fining agents as has, for the vegans, egg whites (quite common). As I said, no trace of animal protein should remain, but I suppose it depends on how rabidly PETA your vegetarianism/veganism is.

Sticking the twigs up the cat's jacksy may be more effective.

PGC - cats only cover their poo if their feel they are not the dominant force. They will defer to their owners and to bigger cats, which is why cat owners rarely see uncovered poo and the Silent Roar stuff works. If a cat thinks a garden is open to claim it will do so by leaving uncovered poo as a territory marker. Anyway, if else fails, throw something at it. Something like a rottweiler.

So... we thought jrussel was a troll, but he said, "oooh no - I am a professional troll". Seems he was a common or garden troll all along. Who'd have guessed?

You can get "Silent Roar" from the Dulwich Garden Centre, which I have found to be effective. It's lion poo extract (obviously, being a lion, you wouldn't take the piss...), which makes kitty think it is subservient to the bigger animal. Failing that, try a landmine. *Boom* - problem solved. Most parts of kitty may actually land back next door if you tilt it just so.

So pizza delivery "To The Householder" and various estate agencies "To the Owner" count as junk. The only exception (sadly) is council tax bills.

I tried thinking like a burglar once. Now I've got next door's telly.

He seemingly disappeared in rather mysterious circumstances. A huge shame.

I wonder if the first one in Brum's list is the American or the UK meaning?

Ew.

Well, of course. And for a while there it wasn't working. So...

Well, if Google says it *Bob* who am I to argue. My go...

Or you could argue that Lee picks on the popularist target - those to whom no one will stick up for, except the targets themselves. Clarkson, on the other hand, goes for those targets for whom he knows will cause the greatest outcry, as they have a hoard of people that will take offence on their behalf. Both are simultaneously brave and cowardly in different ways.
