It's pouring down here. Fortunately Smoky-Drinky takes place indoors and that's where I'm going.
It also rained on Stony Stratford. I hear it went well nonetheless. Watch the sidebar for news, once everyone who attended dries off and has a smoke.
Back later.

Hear hear. the (I won't say "our") politicains these days haven't done an honest day's work in their lives. They come out of university having completed modules like "brownnosing", "blagging", and "expenses fiddling" (or so it seems) and get a non-job in the meeja or as a political aide until they can find some where to stand for election.
They're so far up the medias arses they could snort their cocain for them.
In his splendid little book "Up the Organisation" Robert Townsend said that the best boss to work for was one that had made enough of his own money that he could walk out of the door when pushed too hard in the wrong direction by *his* bosses.
Onee of the problems with this country is that too many politicians with too little talent are getting paid too much. They won't resign because they couldn't get a job stacking shelves at Tesco. Apart from those who can get "consultancy" jobs with big business. And because they have "little black books." Lets's see where those who resign go.
This might seem like heresy to some but I see a case for having in the Cabinet people who have made something of their lives outside politics, even if they weren't elected. At least they could fuck off when they were pushed in the wrong direction and hopefully wouldn't be coy about giving the real reason why.
Furthermore, if I were Speaker of the House of Commons and heard a member of the Government spouting a load of irrelevent shite to a perfectly valid question I would boot them out for disrespect until they were prepared to answer the question properly. I would allow the same question to be asked every single week to successive flunkeys until there was no fucker left on the government benches or until every single one of them apologised and answered the question properly. Oh, and stop their expenses as well.
Ah, that's better.
Sorry about the rant and probable disjointedness but I had to get it off my chest.
Love and kisses,
