Ahhh But the system you use to pick up your glass needs to be reviewed and perhaps quality control of the glass. There's heaps of room for some management consultancy here.

I'd got for road accidents being similar to plane accidents - and they normally say it was a combination of a number of things The Procedure on the ground (maintenance) The maintenance guy The Pilot The Plane design An animal (bird) The procedure in the Air Air traffic procedure Air traffic guys and probably a few more - very rarely does it seem to be just one thing - more a combination - that's why don't think 'knock for knock' is so bad !!

To be honest it was probably near the first thing he bargained away in those days when LibDem and Tory senior MPs negotiated.

Milliband on a train now - obviously ruling in vote by vote with the SNP - or that's how I saw it. It's so close.

The tuition fees thing, I saw as not important - as they all lie. Cameron has just been caught out saying "career" instead of "country" - but newspapers will probably ignore.

Why did the idiot think this generation is special because of Iraq/Afghanistan In the 80s we had the Cold war, numerous proxy wars and the Falklands. and as someone on Twitter told me .. The Cod War. He got a kick up the arse as he left (verbally) :)

It's panning out for Miliband as I expected Minority government leader - no agreements Even if Cameron forms the first government - Milliband puts vote of no confidence on a free vote and then set up as PM with all small parties voting as they want.

So unless > he's going to u-turn on those pledges, his chances > of PM are going to be practicably nil. It would be done on a vote by vote basis. That's not an agreement - and is pretty democratic.

Sometimes it's the system thats wrong. Actually isn't the system somewhat to blame even if it's the Pilot or Ground Crew in 'Air Crash Investigation' :)

Thats weird as the menu screens should stay up even if no aerial or digital box is there - so it's the TV ?? Clean the ventilation of dust - might be overheating Also the link below shows a few people pressing channel up down as a Sony starts (why would that work) http://www.tomsguide.com/forum/56867-4-sony-bravia-black-screen

Are you sure it isn't on the wrong input Sorry for stating the obvious if it is :)

The Tory press in full flow Red Ed is going to do a land grab apparently

The 5000 small business spreadsheet seems to have metadata on it that proves it was composed at Conservative HQ. Not that we wouldn't have guessed.

Strange man Gordon - did he cause the crash or save the world from a depression ? I didn't even know he had children until he left Downing St. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/dec/01/gordon-brown-legacy-tony-blair-global-economy-uk

Another negative I'm afraid If someone eats food - you can't open a window :(

Milliband versus Boris today - for 2 minutes - was the closest we got to a proper face to face debate. To be honest Ed is quite good at debating face to face - so nobody will.

Hey Tarot I think I first mentioned being buried alive because it's the only story line I remember other than Nick Cotton and dirty Den. :) I think if you said you didn't like any sexual scenes before the watershed (rather than just gay ones) you'd get some support (I remember leaving the room as a teenager).

Marr apologised for the fox hunting comment to DC. Then sounded like he was going to be ill - must have got to him..

Welsh Rarebit is NOT cheese on toast, even if you think so :)

I watched the traffic last night at St Georges Circus headed towards Elephant (front of a bus behind). A car was stuck - too scared to force his way out - cyclists speeding round him to each side - wouldn't be surprised if he was still there now.

Has Shapps edited this thread yet? Is there a Milifandom club?
