It's only the 4th time I've ever been - George Duke was sold out there on Thursday and Friday. Brilliant show, and his band are fantastic.

*dashes about shouting and whipping*


DON'T FORGET TO VOTE.....OR ELSE.


Well that's my duties over for the day...I'm off to the bar to see if anyone is open to a bit of bribery....

(Didn't realise that there were fellow George Duke fans here! My mates saw him in Dortmund and managed to send me a souvenir)
Carry on!

Aren't you going to do some economic wizardry while you are Chancellor Joe?

As Mrs Joe would tell you, I'm very much a hands off sorta person. I've given you the basic idea, now get on with it!

You can always form a quango to do it delegate

I already did-days ago. Shot 10p on a litre of petrol, increase Income tax, n remove tax from north-east France sparkling wines. As I recall.

Oh yeah! My bad Chancellor *bows* Is there anything you'd like re-nationalizing before the next Cabinet?

Afternoon Ministers and assorted others

I'm not sure I'm allowed. However, mebbees  you can nationalise the remnants of the railway before the Germans have it all.

Done Chancellor  Ah! Prime Minister, I thought it had got warmer and brighter in here  Good Evening

LOL Hi there  Suzy hope you are having a good day.

For my early morning jack daniels disguised as tea....

Looks like I got my mug just in time then....


*fills mug to brim with vodka*


It's only water...honest your PM-ness *curtsey*

It's gonna one of those nights

Which reminds me of that classic ad:
I’m a secret lemonade drinker,
(R. White’s, R. White’s)
I’ve been trying to give it up,
But it’s been one of those nights
(R. White’s, R. White’s).
R. White’s lemon-a-a-ade,
R. White’s lemon-a-a-ade,
I’m a secret lemonade drinker,
(R. White’s!).
Apparently it was sung by Elvis Costello's father.
