+1.

If you look at the share price graphs you can spot the exact time that this news leaked out to the city! Nearly as steep as a GT40 acceleration graph!
 
My prayer was answered...


Dear Lord,
I know that I haven't talked to you that much, but this past year you have taken away my favourite actor, Patrick Swayze, my favourite actress, Farah Fawcett & my favourite musician, Michael Jackson.
I just wanted to let you know that my favourite Prime Minister is Gordon Brown.
Amen

Fantastic.

I refuse to be negative about the new coalition. If everyone acts like a grown up, and genuinely wants to act in the best interests of our country, NOT their own party, then we could have a very strong cabinet and strong leadership for the country.

I hope that steam doesn't start pouring out within a month or two, or it's Groundhog day, and another General Election...

The alternative would have been a nightmare.
I'm sure you all understand that a Lib/Lab coalition would have relied heavily
on the support of the Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish MPs, to pass legislation.
They would have made it a condition of their support, that the deep cuts to the budget would not affect their regions. Thus the English would have shouldered most of the financial pain. And by the way, my ancestry is Celtic.
As previously stated, lets hope they all behave like grown up boys and girls.

Are you serious? :o) Politicians?

A very witty pun Pete. The Shiites seem have much more rights than I do as a born and bred British (English) national. The shiites definitely need to be pulled out of this Sceptered Isle called England.
In my recent trip to Scotland the shiites, the sunnis, and a wholehost of other incomers don't seem to exist in any numbers. I don't think there is even a single one
north of North Queensferry. (Where deposed Gordon lives [though a birdie tells me he might just be moving into the city]). Maybe it's the drinking culture that does it.
I must check out Northern Ireland this summer.....

Is Hadrian's Wall still in place? That may be the answer.

Hadrians Wall was never really a defensive barrier to stop people coming in and out, it was built to stop people coming in and out without paying.

Tax that is.

Plus ca change, plus ca meme chose.

The Scots are not very happy with Labour at the moment - they urged the Scottish Electorate to vote Labour to keep the Tories out (which they duly did) but Labours failure to form a Government with anyone means that the Scots are now represented by er, 2 parties they didn't want.

One of the funny anecdotes in North Queensferry. Bliar was visiting Brown at his home in the village and they went down to the pub - Quite a nice one really as I went there for dinner last week but one. The famous rail bridge reaches out and almost forms an umbrella over the pub. They stood outside for a few minutes and this elderly American was fiddling about with his new camera. Bliar said they would wait for him until he got his picture before they went inside to eat to which he - the American replied - " I don't know who you are but I'm waiting for you both to disappear so I can take a picture of the Rail Bridge"
Also during the run up to the election, Browns immediate neighbour was clearly a conservative and stood huge billboards almost obscuring Brown house with the names of the tory (conservative) candidate. I tried to take a picture but Special Branch intervened.
While I was arguing about my civil liberties, ergo - apparently I have none - my mate Steve, who lives in the village, who was now guarding my camera and set if off in auto. Thats the beauty of knowing the train timetable intimately because the Aberdeen Edinburgh express crosses the bridge every afternoon at 45 minutes past the hour and is louder than my camera in auto.

BRITISH POLICE DO CARE!

The Northampton Police report finding a man's body in the River Nene, near Becketts Park. The dead man's name will not be released until his family has been notified..

The victim apparently drowned due to excessive beer consumption.
He was wearing black fishnet stockings, a red garter belt, a pink G-string, a strap-on dildo, purple lipstick, and a ‘Gordon for PM’ in 2010 T-shirt.
He also had a cucumber in his rectum.

The police removed the Gordon Brown T-shirt to spare his family any unnecessary embarrassment.

In spite of what we sometimes think, the Police do care.

David (Mother of all KAFARs) Morton, I am coming to lead the Shiites in a rebellion to oust you and that lecherous retch Pete. The deposed Imam Gordon (bucket head) Brown will be re-instated.

Now, I need a visa and directions,,,,,what province of the "Isles" is Brisbane?!!

Faili, as long as you're learning English (just trying to help here) the word you're looking for is "wretch", not "retch". "Retch" is what you do before you vomit. "Retch" is what the above gentlemen do after they hear Gordon Brown.

In America we could never get a coalition government; not only does our two-party system prevent it, but we aren't intelligent enough. Good luck to you lads; if they can stay off each others' throats, they might get quite a bit done.
