I think he resigned because he was pushed..... so I blame those who didn't have the guts to stand up and be counted and push him sooner.....

I'm sad   (although rather excitable too )

I like Gordon Brown...... there! I've said it! I think he's been given a very raw deal in the press.

And you think my choices are weird!!!!!!

It saddens me that people listen to the press shouting "spin" every five minutes when they're the ones responsible for it!

If they could report things without bias/slant/outright hysteria.....spin wouldn't be so politically important.

  Yeeeah Ducky I like Gordon Brown too

I knew you were going to say that!

yeah... but think how boring it would be....

*administers medication*

 Yes I do 

Who asked you!

Well 90% of the press are Tory sycophants etc..it's expected.Can't remember the last time I've ever bought a paper.They are in trouble money wise,losing money etc.Most of us have realised they are not impartial and we can make our own minds up etc.

Think you need another couple of doses Rexi..... lots of ill folks around here

Think I need a few doses myself - I just can't keep up with it all

Comedy Shrek .. without the comedy


Z.

Well this is all too much for me - I'm off to bed!

but I don't think it would... I think they think it would be (this so scarily similar to the way I feel about big brother..)

LOL... nite nite LB

GB is/was a good and honest man .......................he comes across as dour and brusque but there is no doubt in my mind that he always had in mind what is best for this country (unlike Blair) .........call me naive but I dont see him as self serving and I'm fairly sure thathe would have stood down in the near future anyway after assessing the public vote against him. He's simply moved a bit qicker that's all ..............i dont think he was pushed - he's simply looking for what's best for the country IMO.

 and two back to you  

I was actually having a moment of sarcasm there Ditty... *for all the good it did*

Nite Baz doubt they'll be no more news by the morning!

 I agree Soozy

Night LB ... and night the rest of you

Once it reaches the local weather forecast you just know the news has run out of news

Night Baz and Rexi

Newsnight Rexi NEWSNIGHT!!!  more of the same news

Z.

  oops....


time for a really random smiley then...  

Whatever the outcome of all these shenanigans I really hope that it has engaged people to think about the way in which this country is run. We have an election every four years or so and people have become apathetic .................if nothing else - this has got people thinking - listening to debate (I think) .........that can only be a good thing IMO. Prior to this people simply didn't bother and (possibly) thought what difference can I make.
Although I desperately wanted a Labour majority I'm finding the whole process fascinating. Anyone else?

Awww.... leave him alone you! He's just a cuddly teddy bear. All cute and socially inept




That was a joke

PMSL @ Ditty's random smiley!

Nite nite Zaphod and Rexi Thanks for reminding me about Newsnight

Are you sure???

Yep.. see what you mean, Ducky


Z.

i just wish I could post random smilies like that. I'm stuck with the basics ..............I can locate some fantastic smilies ............can't seem to be able to post them though.

Actually it's probably just as well I'm stuck with the safe ones.

I have this overwhelming urge to brush that bears teeth!!!

I have an overwhelming urge to cuddle it

the very easy way......   is to copy them from on here....  fore example Baz has just posted the ROFL smiley... so I will just right click on it now... select "copy image"... and then back in here (my post reply box) press ctrl & v

like so... 

I shouldn't wear a Tory rosette while you do that, Ditty


Z.

I'm thinking that any career change you might plan? Give Zoo Keeper a miss!!


Z.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooh no ...................let him have bad breath ...cuddly or not - it's not something I'd wanna take on.
