Boris could have gone after the PM seat again, but he chose not to, don't blame him.
Perhaps his first altruistic act.

Re: Insignificant Things That Make You Happy.

I managed, today, during a phone call to France, to explain, in French, that I did not speak French and would be grateful if I could be transferred to an operator who could speak English. When I say 'in French', it was almost worthy of Allo Allo, but the message was understood :) An operator? A tel...

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little

It sounds like elegant variation to me? Having two 'men' in the same sentence would go against the grain for every self respecting journalist or copy writer. An annual, month-long event which encourages growing moustaches to increase awareness and raise money to support men's health issues How's th...

Re: Chief Twit

It'll be interesting to see what will happen next. Will the left wing safe space now no longer be safe? Will the rabid mung bean merchants now have to publicly fall on their sword as they have to now face up to an attempt to justify the fascist things they say, not being able to run to Mummy and Da...

What an amazing piece of art. I have one or two boxes from the move that look like that...and I don't care which way up they go. Have you ever seen one?

Re: Classic Fords

I take a particularly petty and small minded joy in pulling up right on the dashed double white lines at give way near my house, thus forcing other drivers to actually stay on their side of the road. Works both ways. If someone looks like they'll hold back at a junction like that and cut me some sl...
