Laddy Muck, I almoat forgot about you, number 3 on my guest list.


And LadyDeliah, as a relative newbie to all this, I don't think we know each other. I think we should all start wearing name badges when out and about in ED. That would make for an interesting conversation or two....!

I should like to meet Ted Max. Preferably in Capri on a terrace somewhere. In whites and with a cold drink.


And *Bob*. Everyone would like to meet him (some have - see next CPC pub opening) but the old adage of never meeting your heroes holds more true than ever in this strange online world.


I have met a few of you and you are all as mad as a box of frogs.

HonaloochieB, *Bob*, katie1997, giggirl, Helena Handbasket and Huguenot. My lawyer says best not to mention T-- M--.


I have already met lots of lovely forumites, who have profoundly changed how I feel about living here. Too many to mention but special mention has to go to the Moving J's, Cam's mum and dad and the Invisible Gurkha Pirate.


Actually, I do see a chap around LL whom I like to speculate might be HonaloochieB. I shall never dare speak to him, though.

Ooooh, why do you think it's him? Describe him and he may even put in an appearance! I think we should add profile pics on here, it would make life in LL so much less complicated on a bustling Saturday i.e. Then I would know how to elbow out the way and who to curtsey... 'tis a minefield out there.

    • I also wonder if all this, recently events and so many u turns is going to also be the end of Kier Starmer.
    • And I replied: Mandelson and Trump have much in common. They are both shallow, vulgar and vain. They both fetishise wealth and power, irrespective of who holds it or how it was accumulated. They were both close friends and associates of the late Jeffrey Epstein and have moved in the same circles, as Ghislaine Maxwell’s address book allegedly confirms. Recognising another who is utterly transactional and lacking in a moral compass, there’s every chance of “Petie” fitting right in Mar-a-Largo. That Starmer couldn’t anticipate that Mandelson’s past behaviour would be problematic just proves how inept this government is.
    • Can't agree with that because he is a superb communicator - a really smart and  smooth talker. He studied PPE at Oxford and was communications director for Labour for many years.  Setting aside the "minor"  indiscretions during his time in government he has all the smoothness and ability to flatter Trump without appearing obsequious. Plus he can manage and exploit  Trump’s ego. He is highly polished socially, comfortable in elite circles, skilled at making personal connections. He can flatter and disarm, which is a useful tactic with Trump, who responds well to personal respect and praise. As a former EU Trade Commissioner and Cabinet minister, Mandelson understands international relations, trade, and diplomacy. He knows how to frame issues in terms of “wins” that Trump could claim credit for. I honestly hope that he survives.  
    • He is toast  he should never have been appointed  and starmer flannelling about all of this shows exceptionally poor judgement  a disgrace all around
