I think the question is: do the red bricks have any legal bearing on right of way? I can't find anything that suggests they are anything more than decoration.

Ha - just found this. Best answer was: Your husband is a prat. Being invited is an honour, they want to include you in their big day, and if they have to mind how much they spend, you should understand that. You go, and leave Grumpy to look after the children - you'll enjoy it much more without him, anyway.

You'd really not want someone teaching your son because they vote differently to you? That's kind of enacting the rather unsavoury claims made earlier.

12000 each from the 12 tribes of Israelites. That's not even enough to calm tensions in the middle-east, much less affect ED house prices.

Otta Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I don't think Miliband was dishonest, he just had nothing particularly good to promise us. That's > why when I voted Labour I was voting against the tories, not voting FOR an ideal. That's an interesting view on it, Otta. And I think sums up Labour's problem - it didn't sufficiently set out an alternative (let's face it - their entire manifesto was basically Tory-lite) and other parties like UKIP and the Greens soaked up the anti-government protest vote. I think Labour has to decide what it is. At the moment it is an uncomfortable coalition of old-school Labour movement and the urban left. If the urban left part got together with the Lib Dems and created a liberal-left party, casting off the remainder of the union link and the old-school reds, then I think that could be the basis of a political party with a soul.

But isn't that just the same as the constant mumblings from the left in the Guardian comments that the BBC has a 'right wing bias'. Now I personally think the Beeb has got the balance pretty much correct, but if it does have any bias it certainly isn't to the right. I think it's the same old story - as you move more away from the centre, in either direction, the paranoia increases.

Close your eyes and you can almost see them all sitting around making jazz hands at the end.

It doesn't explain much but adds nuance and depth to the picture. That's mostly because the Labour share was all over the shop. Sharply down in Scotland, reasonably up in London, well up in LibDem seats and taken to wearing purple in the north.

I'm just relieved we look like getting a stable government. A week of tawdry deal making followed by five years of brinkmanship was not going to do the country any good at all.

Rumours that Ed Balls is going to provide this election's Portillo moment.

Maybe.

Rather than labour and any of the others? The greens will probably have only one MP so, given the numbers, they would be fairly irrelevant unless the polling is a lot lot closer than predicted. Labour are currently looking about 50 MPs short, so even the Lib Dems (predicted 20-30 MPs) probably wouldn't be able to help Labour get the numbers together.

Thanks all. Otta: Done. Thanks for the feedback We've delivered over 1500 flyers in the last two days and I have to say, there is a very fine line between a spring loaded mailflap and a vicious beartrap for fingers!

Thanks to everyone who has helped out, but I really need lots and lots more activity!! Please drop in and make the place look busy!

Help!! Today I started an EDF-like forum for my local area. I kind of need some help to make it look... well... lived in. I'd really appreciate it if some of the EDFers could drop in, post a few things and generally make the place look busy. Especially in the Lounge area - maybe recreate some of the well-loved threads we have here on the EDF? A good, traditional EDF heated debate? The forum is Northfielder - Northfields Community Forum PS Any feedback on the new forum would be appreciated too! PPS Huge thanks to Mark for his help and guidance... and permission to steal a lot of look and feel of the EDF!

Princess Seabag would be better, though.

That joke is even older than you, Foxy.

Last year I spent over two months in Australia. Never heard of her, and Aussie TV will, frankly, show anything they can find cheap. A quick google rather confirms she's pretty much an unknown.

Every cup of fruit tea made, ever.

Why? Because they say something and stupid people believe it? I prefer to think of it more as Darwinism in action.
