Don't you see though, Dave..? If we all go out tomorrow and buy six high-quality saucepans we don't need, then the cookshop will be ok.

How do you grow your own period property? Is there a kit out there somewhere?

Who will be next? (sideways glance at cook shop)

Seeking to 'keep the BNP out' is student politics. It isn't just a bore.. it's dangerous. It's one of the reasons why the BNP are on the verge of getting in.

It will have weight any value in that you actually gave your vote to (in your opinion) the first and second candidate who most deserved it - regardless of whether they win or not. Have to say I find clamour for tactical voting these days a real bore. I had someone tugging at my elbow not long back about voting this or that way to keep the BNP out. Perhaps a little more concentration on the people actually voting for the BNP (and the reasons as to why they do so) rather than relying on a connivance of mainstream voters to keep them at bay might be a better idea.

I'm afraid of Snooker, ever since my Dad took me to his snooker club (Christmas Eve treat.. 'the wife' too) and I was distressed to discover that the table itself it literally the size of half a football field. Better to stick to pool, where any idiot with zero hand-eye coordination (that's me) can sink a couple of balls if you hit the hard enough and hope for the best.

Gina.. bought it.. binned it. I can appreciate it works for some (especially those with working commitments who need to try and bring a system into play) but what does irritate slightly is Gina's presentation as fact that her goose-stepping regime will work for every child and parent.. and the finger-pointing insinuation that if it doesn't then it's because somehow you're just not doing it right.

Postal voting just isn't the same. You need a makeshift cubicle (with a tatty drawstring curtain) to get a real feel for the magic of the democratic process. I notice our local polling station is actually the pub, which is genius.

Votematch (good site!) accurately has me down as Ken first, Paddick a close second and Boris the Fool down in 5th. Adding strength/weakness of personality etc into the mix, naturally it'll be Ken Ken Ken all the way for me, seeing as Paddick is clearly woefully out of his depth (regardless of whether I agree with most of his policies).

That's Keef in then. His standing in the community is usually pretty similar - outside the CPT wheezing on a tab.

I might nip into the Funeral Directors next time. I shall enjoy wallowing in the sombre and respectful reception I get.. only to whip-out a form to sign and ask them 'why the long face'?

You could always ask that JesusCoffee person - the one who kindly let us all know (s)he'd been offered an honour. *Bob* LOa FER

There are some good ones in there. In future I shall seek-out one of the following: Christian Science practitioner Funeral director Person with honours Salvation Army officer

What are 'exiting misadventures'? Walking in to door frames on the way out of the pub, I suppose. Happier times.

I'm at a loose end. Leave it with me and I'll see what I can rustle up. I haven't shaved for a couple of days and I'm wearing 'Sporting Leisurewear'.. if someone could just lend me a hard dog to complete my look I think I can guarantee being detained by 3pm at the latest.

(Stern Look) Sex Workers, please Simon.

No DSS definitely.. but yes, you can take it as read that others need not apply too. eg Scaffolders, anyone who works front of house in Argos, people with 'coarse accents', amateur darts players, people who test whistles in a whistle factory..

Police, Camera, Action? Going by the TV listings, it seems like every bobby on the beat permanently has a film crew shadowing them, desperately hoping for that pepper-spray-in-the-face moneyshot so they can call it a day and go home.

In a rent-share section, it's just Today Speak for 'NO DSS', Macroban.

Alas, no. If you like the shop (which I do, as it happens) it's best to give it a swerve.

C'mon Safesurfer.. you know how it works. If The Telegraph says it's a dream home and the price tag is way out of people's reach, then the appropriate response is to slag it off (even though most people would piss their pants at the chance of living in such a blatantly top-notch abode) Get with the programme.. join in the Cult of Envy.

Yeah.. what a really, really horrible house. Gosh, I'd certainly hate to live there, I can tell you.

Buy Speedy J: "G Spot" And then lend it to me (someone nicked my copy ten years ago). Obviously I'll buy my own copy after I've evaluated it.
