And she repeatedly uses the "I'm trying to explain to you" tactic so favoured by the woolly left which implies you are too thick or reactionary to grasp her point whist she remains the epitome of reasoned argument. Which she isn't, by the way.

Of all the things of import to be annoyed by now we are in election mode; Mr Corbyn's I-did-speech-classes habit of using the 'magic of three' repetition trick is getting very irritating- "You can't get blah without blah..blah..blah You can't get blah without blah blah.. blah And you can't get blah without blah..blah and BLAH! " (the crowd take their cue to cheer and applaud). "It is true to say that... etc ...etc It is true to say that... etc... etc And it is true to say that etc ...ETC!" (the crowd take their cue to etc...etc) Stop it man Stop it now Stop it for good! (cheers, etc...)

Splitters!

Alyssum is fast growing and has a great scent, Californian poppies, foxgloves, cornflowers and nasturtiums (the latter are great for climbing from a pot/container up a wall trellis - as are honeysuckle and jasmine - and are fast growing, colourful with lots of good green leafy coverage but really prone to blackfly; the nasty little b*stards cluster unseen under the leaves) - all these will self-seed and come back year after year with very little maintenance.

I can see it (the joke I mean not the thing about it not being a joke) and thought it was funny - and believe "who have you installed in the tribunal of your own reason" is the basis for a perfect dinner party game slash R4 panel show.

I didn't read it all but see it was signed by Brian May - is it about badgers?

Ok, and with 12 sides suggesting (as well as divine inspiration) a Brexitish nod towards a return to the marmiteovaltine days of the imperial system perhaps with 4 apostles (or apostlesles) in a Gospell (the new imperial fiver) we'd have 3 Gospells in a Messiah (it's new tenner cousin with dodgy ones known as a Brian); your Betrayal would - like the old guinea - mainly be used for auctions or payments of commissioned acts and would always include VAT. I can already hear punters boasting of winning a Gospel Quire at Kempton.

as a dodechawhatsit maybe a dodo (as counterpoint to the yoyo the rest of Europe uses)?

Yes, but which do you think is the BEST curry house?

Yes but it's always bloody chocolate.

Mince beef and beef stock from Moxons... I guess you have to get there early. I prefer a southern-Italian meat ragu to the restrictive bolognese and always use tomatoes, white wine, crushed dried red chillies (in moderation) and a smattering of Origano Sicilia a Mazzetti (from Fratelli Camisa - preferably with flower heads). And of course I let it 'bubble' - for about three gentle hours.

If I were to waste my time responding in person to every little annoyance LL offers rather than letting it fester and ferment until it sparks violent rage fantasies I'd have nothing to write about on here. You really are new at this aren't you?

It looks like a big hotel toilet on wheels. I suggest it doesn't go out after closing time on a Friday night as no lid-lock could withstand someone "in need".

Sausage quality notwithstanding I do, just very occasionally, after having weaved around the sodding thing three or four times in a day, feel the urge to attack their huge A-board with a sledge hammer. Maybe I should put that on Tripadvisor?

A pointless man spewing patronising platitudes laced with 'I know best' arrogance which remainers will agree with "He's a bastard, yes, but he's right!" and leavers will dismiss "Warmonger! Liar!" and which serves only one purpose - the promotion of Tony Blair. Twas ever thus.

With all the pre-tournament talk about the possibilities of back to back slams for England it's got to be a French win surely?
