  1. But if you had to bet on it?
  2. http://www.guardian.co.uk/crime/article/0,,2164354,00.html No smoke without fire?
  3. Kinnock did a great deal to take on the militant tendency. There were years of transition. That said - don't change the subject until Marmora Man has had a chance to say something. How do you like this 'sample of voters' Marmora Man?

I was excited by the possibility of a return to a two party system with credible opposition. Then they stared wheeling out IDS and attacking unmarried couples and I took it a bit personally. Now they are trying to make people volunteer for a 6 week litterpicking bootcamp. I am now resigned to 10 years of Brown and long haul flights to the nearest supercasino.

Marmora Man I don't have to do a Geography GCSE style survey to draw that conclusion. It is my own opinion. Voluntary national service?! Unbelieveable straw-clutching.
  6. Killed that thread with your name dropping CWALD.
  7. I have enjoyed Gervais' comedy. But it is a guilty pleasure. When I'm laughing at a bloke with one leg longer than the other I am not laughing at Gervais laughing at him. I think Bernard Manning was funny too but is being funny sufficient or do comedians have any other responsibilities? I'm not sure but then able bodied white middle class males are rarely the butt of the joke.

  11. So East Dulwich should be reclassified as Urban after all....
  12. Going to the Wishing Well on Saturday to watch England.
  13. History will remember Ricky Gervais about as kindly as it does Bernard Manning. His comedy includes thinly veiled racism, sexism and even anti disabled sentiment. Try convincing yourself that you are laughing at David Brent rather than with him but I'm not convinced.
  14. I think that's the angle abbot would have to come from- singing opera dressed as Pol Pot. A bit too clever though. Prefer the fat suit.
  15. Will do. Thanks.
  16. It's Potts. I wonder if Abbot could do a convincing impression of him.
  17. Is this good news for Russ Abbot? His fat suit will be on ebay no doubt unless he needs it for the funeral.
  18. Going to Edo this weekend. What should I order?
  19. I've seen this film and I think Ali G overstates his case by claiming that a correlation between global temperatures and CO2 levels is equivalent to temperature being a function of C02. BBQ sales correlate with ice cream sales but if we banned BBQs ice cream would still sell on a hot day. They are both a function of the weather. I have seen similar flawed assumptions by the Tories about the correlation of succesful relationships and incidence of marriage. This is frightening as their fundamental misunderstanding of the statistics is actually shaping their policy proposals. Luckily they are completely unelectable.
