Off to L'Ile Saint Denis first thing tomorrow to get me head down and get some work done.

Lest I be yet another Member accused of doing a flounce, I'm not - All the best and see you all soon.

I...

The housing, yes.

As for Sunday Trading - that came in (I think) under Major, but I wasn't about to embarrass Comrade 67 by pointing that one out...

(And yes, I know that Sunday Trading...

I'd guess they were unwilling to take it to court not because they were afraid of losing but actually because (a) it was only a bit of firewood and (b) going to court is very expensive and not a...

While this probably isn't the time or place to argue about such things, you'll notice I said "contributed to". In the same way that immigration has, in some areas, undoubtedly "contributed to".

Wonder why the money raised from the sale of council houses wasn't allowed to spent on replenishing the social housing stock and subsequently contributed to a housing shortage?

Did you go shopping...

If that's what you actually think Comrade 67, then there's nothing anyone can possibly say to convince you otherwise.

In fact, in the spirit of bonhomie and goodwill, please feel free to use this....

I suspect she'd better get buried at sea, also: There'll be people queueing up to dance on her grave.

Bad timing: Off to France on Wednesday, and phone just going into meltdown with texts of party happening on Saturday...

(Still - at least I'll be avoiding the worst excesses of the inevitable...

Sounds an awful lot like the Christians are getting upset because they wanted to be treated as more special than anyone else.

You may well be right - I know they did musical routines, but my mental image of Eli Woods is him holding a trombone, for some reason.

Or maybe that's just raw Freudian Transference on my part,...

Are you thinking of Danny Green, who played "One-Round Lawson" (and the double bass) in The Ladykillers?

(I recently read that the role was intended for Tommy Cooper, but he became unavailable...)

I resent that.

I'm at least 80% Left.

Of course I missed all of that. C'est la vie. He may even said uncalled-for things to me, also, and I just don't recall them. I just tend to see it as par for the course if one's a Lefty on a...

Don't you DARE laugh at me... (catch in voice as others shuffle and look away in embarrassed manner...)

RIGHT! I'm BACK. I hope you all feel thoroughly ASHAMED!

With the best will in the world, it didn't look much like a flounce to me.

THIS is a FLOUNCE...(Stands abruptly - downs drink in one - pushes past others - stomps toward door with chin raised -...

We were never on the same side, but you were always civil and had a sense of humour - that counts for a lot. All the best.

I hope there's a fixed penalty for not picking that up.

Here's something I never thought I'd ever type, but I think Mr Tyler is right: The dimensions given are building regulations (possibly based on the old Parker - Norris Standard?). They don't actually...

I would very much doubt it, but if anyone tries and it's ruled that such uses are exempt, then good for them and maybe you could bear such a thing in mind as a possible option.

Brings a new...

Could be fun to try. Good luck to anyone who can show this piece of legislation up for the ill-thought out, miserly piece of idiocy that it is.

I'd love to hear them...

(And I'm not being flippant - I genuinely would. Twenty years ago I sat on an ITC Working Group charged with defining "Quality Television". Once we'd got beyond something...

It's ironic that John Cage only "wrote" it as a joke, and it's now his best known piece.

How come the video comes in at 9.23?

Is it the Extended Dance Remix?

Just a few...

Check out George Orwell's essay/review "Benefit of Clergy".

For my money, he's up there alongside Roman Polanski and Jackson Pollock as proof that a bad person can still produce...
