I'm hearing you girls, we do all seem rather grumpy. I put it down to a long hard winter. At times like these I go upstairs and gaze at my lovely shoe drawer. Cheers me up no end. Mmmmmmmmmm. Stuart Weitzman..................

Mickey Mouse (you know, the one with the big hands that go round to tell the time?)

I have lots of round plates, and a few square ones. And actually someone once bought me a rectangular one but I've never used it cos I can't work out what it's for. What does that mean, *Bob*?

Beautifully made wine from Alsace.

There was a young woman from nod Who wanted a child of God It was the almighty who climbed up her nightie The vicar, the dirty old sod!

Went to the National Gallery this weekend and was reminded of this: While Titian was mixing his madder, His model reclined on a ladder. Her position, to Titian, suggested coition, So he rushed up the ladder and 'ad her.

Two pairs of new shoes, and new jeans a size smaller than you thought you were. Woohooooooo!!

I can see Huguenot's thought process here - science has an explanation that we all know to be true so it must be correct. But then again, bees can't fly. According to the laws of physics, that is. GG states a series of facts. Since she isn't a liar, they are what they are. If they don't agree with science as we know it then it's possible, just possible, that science can't yet explain everything. If you eliminate the impossible, then what is left, however improbable, is the truth. Good on you GG. If it works for you, that's what matters.

Yeah but you ain't actually got those points till *Bob* awards them and I still reckon some D list rugby bloke picking a fight with a London Underground employee fits the criteria set out! Now where the hell is he?!

Over to you *Bob*. I'm not trying to influence you or anything but I think you'll find I'm prettier than Brum.

Wotever. I want my feckin' points for Brian Moore!!! [Note to self. Must stop being so competitive....!]

So the answer to his question would have been "No" then?!

Brian Moore was Hooker for the England rugby team and later rugby commentator. No front teeth, ears like cabbages, face like a bull dog licking p*ss off a thistle. Nice bloke though. No idea if he cheated on anyone. But I can tell you he was arguing with the ticket seller at Chancery Lane underground.

Shall I give up on points for Brian Moore then? Not my day today.

Oh yeah and I once saw Brian Moore arguing with the ticket sales desk at Chancery Lane tube station. I reckon I get points for that *Bob*?

I can't believe no one was impressed with my Mark Oaten gag. I was well pleased with that. *Sulk*

*Snigger* I think you might be confusing him with Mark Oaten?

I thought the sphynx was very small in real life. Does that count? Also Richard Branson is skinnier than you'd think, and I once saw Liz Hurley in Peter Jones and she has a spot on her cheek. But rather unkindly that made me very happy!

[Oh good lord. I never thought I'd type this sentence.] I agree with Huguenot. *Faint* :))

Well mostly I'm actually thinking it's way past my bed time!

I just listed a load of policies that are "family issues" to try to ask whether it is really true that women are interested in issues that are less touched by government. That's all. Don't go getting all baity about it.

But I have MUCH nicer handbags.

Shut up! If quids wants to agree with me he can. You're just annoyed cos you got beat by a girl.

I don't know if I disagree with the research, it's not something I've really thought about. I am not sure I agree that government doesn't affect family matters though - child trust fund? Government funded childcare? State school system/national curriculum? No fault divorce? Child support agency? Maternity rights? Paternity rights? Flexible working legislation?

Oh. Ok then. You probably know best. You're right. I thought I was fine, and just having an interesting chat about politics, but I see now that I was in fact cross and should, as you say, stop. I do need more time to make up my mind. Do tell me, which tv channel should I be watching?
