Sun and Doves coverage is probably ha,mpered by licensing laws, but agreed - it seems a bit pointless given that nothing meaninful will come through until hours later


We have a few Americans on board the forum - they might have a better idea - but I reckon house parties = better than pubs for this one

Did everyone see the race-reversed poster of McCain and Obama that Metro reproduced this morning?


The poster campaign was an interesting idea in the image obsessed world of marketing. Here's a big and arresting picture of our candidates that focuses on their race. And here's a small caption reminding us not to think about race too much. And do NOT think about a blue elephant.


On a more petty point, I was fascinated by the result. McCain looked just like himself, but Obama looked really different, and suddenly kind of 'Troy McClure'.

The Obama one looked quite good... I thought the McCain one looked rubbish though, more like an oompa-loompa than a black man.

wow, v clever!


Friend was over from Texas last w/e, he was saying how he watched the debates with split screen and how while Obama spoke McCain was gurning and scribbling furiously!!


Have another friend who after much googling has been disappointed not to find a link between McCain and the oven chips!!!

And the offending lines of that article still ring true,


"The world will endure four more years of idiocy, arrogance and unwarranted bloodshed, with no benevolent deity to watch over and save us. John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr - where are you now that we need you?"

Who is going to stay and watch? I will do my best and have power napped to prepare.


I pray to God (which i don't believe in) that Body Odour gets elected - it will be such a kick to the balls of the rest of the world if Hicksville wins the day and Gramps gets the nod. Lets hope Mr Obama has eight years and uses to show the world that America can be influencial for all the right reasons and more importantly that Americans get into that mindset. Otherwise it will be remembered as 8 years of weak America and Laura Bush will be elected in 2016 to invade Brazil.


GO BARACK.

    • Ok thanks, I will ask the GP. Sorry, I know I post on here a lot/too much, but I'm not going into my medical issues on here. If I could find the information I need online, I obviously wouldn't need to see a dietician! Thanks for trying to help, though x
    • We had two air con units fitted with the heat pump mounted on the back wall.  one indoor unit in the loft and one in the kitchen/diner.  would not have been able to sleep in this heat in the loft without it - absolutely love it.  We have solar+batteries so with the amount of sun we having then its covering the cost of the aircon.  we used Progas Heating Services Ltd, 176 Sydenham road, London, SE26 5JZ Tel: 020 8 676 0101 [email protected] they were brilliant.  quick and straightforward to deal with.  highly recommend.  cost was ballpark £5k all in.  was quite a bit of chasing pipework into the walls and running pipes from the heat pump to the 2 units.  
    • Probably a daft question but does Chacarero not sell chacareros?
    • Sue , yes the NHS do employ dieticians.i used to see a lovely one ,Orla, at St Thomas's.
