*Bob*

Well it is bank holiday Monday, so I suppose they'll probably be busy having a row by now.

Where are all the Smug Marrieds? To arms! To arms!

Paintballing?

In the light of gazillion-pound financial hole, hundreds of thousands slaughtered in illegal wars and noses-in-troughs on a criminal level, is this the best you can come-up with, Trump? 'A possible illegal fly-poster.'

'Clumsy'? - yes. They don't call him 'butterfingers' for nothing, you know. Though I dread to think what for.

As long as it's not at a Strada. Chains are totally unacceptable.

When I go, I'd like to go - in style - in a CE40. It has a separate 2-second secondary chamber residence time (running at 850?C) - and, most importantly, it can also accept small animals (up to 725mm wide)

My collection of severed heads, stored in brine-filled jars.

I'm all for it. You can watch as, under your tutelage, I unwittingly bring death to every corner of our garden. But I'm trying, godammit, I'm trying.

I think we should call it 'Cash for Ash'

For all we know, the coffin might have been empty and the 'dead' person was the one who was filming.

If it's one of those ones with the feathered horses and an enormous floral tribute saying 'The Guv' or something, crawling along a high street holding-up an enormous queue of traffic desperate to overtake, then it might be worth filming. But probably not for the usual humdrum trip to The Crem to watch the polyester curtains close followed by half an hour hanging about waiting to receive the cremulated ashes in a tinpot shoe-box.

Nice try, David - but I'm not falling for it.

Just realised I'm in the wrong club.

Sean, pass the cigar cutter, old chap.

Use of the phrase 'housing stock'.. it's like some sort-of disease on here.

Yeah. Vote Thingy.

An election can have any outcome, should the electorate care to stop being such mindless candy-assed drones and continue voting for one of the usual two parties who they don't really like, simply in order to try to keep the other one out, who they like slightly less.

'The only option' for most people in the UK ought to be the Lib Dems, but they'll still vote Labour or Conservative. Stop them in the street and ask them what their main concern is. Hear them bleat about the war; but they won't vote for the only party that opposed it. Or about the economy; but they'll still dismiss the only ones who warned about it well before it happened. Or about MP's expenses - despite the LDs being the party least tainted by the scandal by a long chalk. No. They'll vote Labour or Tory. Cameron or Brown - that's who they'll get. They don't deserve any better.

Well I know for sure that there's a 'Brazilian'. And I'm pretty sure there's a 'Hollywood'. But, ladies, can any of you tell me.. is there such a thing as a 'Telford'? Or have I been had?

Well, Mrs *Bob* is of the opinion that hedges should be neatly trimmed, uniform, short but not bare. I on the other hand, prefer to see them cut back nearly all the way.

The Three Chancellors debate.. George Osborne. Good god. On a superficial level (remembering that superficiality accounts for a good third of crosses in boxes when it comes to the GE) he was every inch the oily, dead-fish-eyed, insincere caricature that the Tories are desperate not to be seen as. As regards the position he wants to apply for: he came across as an examination 'crammer' trying to recall his four sheets of A4 (with highlighted sections) rather than someone who even seems interested in the job, let alone knowledgeable on the subject.

A "good old fashioned meat eating, anglo-saxon, straight up christian man's man" ha ha ha - yep, that's me!
