Yeah... but you would jump into a *coalition* with Simon Cowell.......

I don't like to worry you Ditty but that doesn't work for me on here.

I wouldn't wear a Tory rosette if my life depended on it Zaph!

oh!  why not?

(trouble pressing control & v with the wing tips again? )

 simples


Z. 

Nor me unfortunately .............thanks for the info though.

I can't highlight smileys on here so can't use control & v on them.... right clicking and copying doesn't work either.

I can drag them in though.

oooh...  

aw... sorry Soozy

One of the scariest things that has happened to me over the last few days is that I actually found myself agreeing with John Reid

Soozy try this site......http://yoursmiles.org/p-captain.php

Choose a pic you want....click on it and text will appear in the white strip just above all the pictures. If you copy that text (normally it will go blue as soon as you click on it...then just press control and V to copy it)......and paste it in the reply box here, and you should be all smilied up.

Keep persevering if it doesn't work first time..... we all went through that aggghhhh stage when we first starting using them

There must be tablets you can get for that

Going woosh to dream of AV+ or not... guess

Night proportional ones


Z.

Noooooooooooooooooo!   Anyone but him!!! ANYONE!!!!

I'd swap him for Esther Ranzen fgs!!

When we first came on here I  tried and tried ..................now - I just stick to the boring ones ................much as I'd love to amuse .......................i really can't be that arsed TBH

Night..


Child of Paxman

I sure hope so Soozy...... But for once , he seemed to be talking sense.....

Nite nite  Zaphod At this rate you will have a thread to match the length of the Bungalow

Ahh John Reid very clever man,he used to write a lot of Tony Blairs speeches,His Granny and my granny were sisters,I'm related to him.My aunt used to blag on about him all the time.Give him his due he is clever,now he seems to be interested in Celtic football club.

Can't believe you're still here battling it out

I'll see all you political heads in November until then.............

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I worked under him Katty... when he did his stint as Health Minister....

however... I can't actually blame it all on him..  SOMETHING happened behind the scenes with Milburn...  something along the lines of him suddenly not getting the backup he had been promised in order to fully implement NHS plan...  & Milburn was the NHS Plan.

thats when despair set in for me... and I suppose John Reid was the focus for my disappointment.

well he was certainly talking sense today... IMO

Yeah John Reid was extremely gracious and calm....made the other commentators on yesterday's events look rabid
Oh, and good morning Citizens

I hope there will not be a Lab/LibDem the Tories are welcome to them

Hi Suzybean

Morning Voters


Z.

Marg, Z

And the beat goes on..... Afternoon voters

Afternoon Baz.......another exciting day ahead...

I have never wanted the Tories in power but dont want to see a Lab/Lib Dem in power, I would like to see Labour stand back and let the Tory/LibDem go it together, I feel it would be in the best interests of the Labour party in the long run

LOL... Hey there Lal Yep... it's the election that just keeps giving

That seemed to be what John Reid and David Blunkett were saying Marg. Personally, I am very disappointed with the Lib Dems....cos the way they are carrying on makes me think that for all their *new way of politics* talk,  they seem no different to the other two parties, with their wheeling dealing.

I agree with John Reid I also feel Nick Clegg is not looking out for the best interests of the country it is more about getting electorial reform that is his top priority...

On that we agree Marg

yay

just had an e-mail:-

Whether
Conservative, Liberal
or
Labour , I think
you'll get
a kick out of
this!


A little boy goes to his
dad and asks, 'What is Politics?'

Dad says, 'Well son, let
me try to explain it this way:

I am the head of the
family, so call me The Prime Minister.

Your mother is the
administrator of the money, so we call her the Government.


We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People.

The nanny, we will
consider her the Working Class.

And your baby brother,
we will call him the Future.

Now think about that and
see if it makes sense.'

So the little boy goes
off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.

Later that night, he
hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him.


He finds that the baby
has severely soiled his nappy.

So the little boy goes

to his parent's room and finds his mother asleep.

Not wanting to wake her,
he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny..

He gives up and goes back to bed

The next morning, the
little boy say's to his father, 'Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now. '

The father says, 'Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all
about.'

The little boy replies, 'The Prime Minister is screwing the Working Class while the
Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and

the Future is in deep sh1t.'

 

Good one, Barney

John Prescott just got a round of applause on BBC News 24...from the hecklers on Westminster Green and the what sounded like the camera crew. I have to admit, he talked a heap of sense about letting the Libs talk to Labour, and how Brown acted in the national interest. I may have been a little persuaded  Still optimistic about the future
