I haven't read a single book on our bookshelves. Not even the ones that look nice.

A friend of mine was interested in buying a Banksy from Snorky, but (being unfamiliar with the EDF) was put-off by his posting history. Despite my best efforts to vouch for his, umm, good character, even I had to admit that (to an outsider) it didn't look good on paper..

If you have a Mac.. iWeb Bosh.

My God.. I've just had a Kingmaker flashback

From what I remember The Mail were lacklustre about the case, criticised the Lawrence campaign - and only decided to get their cocks out for a swingathon when they realised it might help them sell a few more rags.

That's one in the bag for The Mail and one in the eye for the Guardian! Sorry.. Stephen who?

Melanie Phillips can be a shrieking, vigilante mob all on her own under most circumstances.. but not on this occasion. Straw won the 'weasel award' on the subject.. though his party line was delivered with an unconvincing and slightly apologetic look.

He looked absolutely shagged-out on QT last night.. don't remember seeing him so weary before. It was warming to see some genuine support - and a refusal to put the absolute boot in - from a panel for whom acknowledging the reality of what he was trying to say seemed more important than winning a point for their team.

The sooner Clarke and his ilk are ousted, the sooner we can fill the HOC with more vacuous, soundbite-oriented PR monkeys who spend their political lives deciding what not to say (lest they impede their chances of climbing the greasy pole) rather than contributing anything that might stimulate some sort of useful debate - and thus be of value.

For fans of Kubrick and school orchestras everywhere..

A light trim from time to time will definitely help improve the overall appearance. It won't take you too long (you can just do it when you have a few moments in the evening or at weekends) and chances are if you don't have the right tool for the job you can probably borrow something from a neighbour. It can be a tricky job but just go around carefully and remember - you can always cut more off so don't go 'too short' straight away. In any case, if you make a mistake, it will grown back in a fairly short space of time so try not to worry about it. Makes your cock look slightly larger too.

Despite all his little faults (getting children drunk, putting porn on and teaching them how to masturbate etc etc) he sure turned-out some great tunes.

Got it.. "Ox heart, bubble & squeak - 7.50" That's got to be at least 30p worth of core ingredients.

How much does one pay for re-fried vegetable leftovers, otherwise destined for the scrap bin?

ES&L is not an educational resource aimed at people with bad grammar.. it's a smug twat-fest aimed at the kind of person you hope doesn't start talking to you at a party. Marmite stinks as well.

Do us a favour, Truss.. sod off.

I was always particularly partial to the Viz Tintin parodies.. mocking but drawn with a fond eye. The one where Tintin follows some 'suspicious-looking characters' - and ends-up at a rave - was very, very funny.

Stolen? Is what?!

I could perhaps understand it if I'd been 'up west' in Spearmint Rhino, settling the champagne bill. But I was in Maplin, Forest Hill, buying computer peripherals.

'Cat soup' is both delicious and tasty (though the ginger ones are acquired taste).

Doesn't everyone enjoy the aroma from half a ton of fish-packing ice, gently melting in the gutter on a warm summer day? How strange.

I really, really hope so.

I can only tell it like it was. I went to a shop - and when I gave the guy my credit card to pay, that's what he said.
