Didn't see the speech apart from the odd snippet on the news last night, but the quote I saw on some news site this morning about Brownstuff saying the Conservatives weren't to be trusted with the economy had me pissing myself.
Fortunately my fellow office colleagues thought it was just down to my age and incontinence is to be expected.Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it

Well he will be needing a lot of credit to get us out of this fine mess. Shame that while the rest of the economy is tightening its belt Gordy goes out and blows more money (he hasn't got) on nursery places, broadband and prescriptions. Sheer, unadulterated brilliance.

We also decided that if we had infinite money we might lease a fleet of 9 astra combi vans and have the word "arsecakes" printed on the back, 1 letter per van; then park them up in various car parks in a row. Seemed amusing at the time.
Less beer me thinks.Comment

I have had several similar conversations - my mate (and fellow Eye subscriber - we have bought each other subs over the years too) plans to buy up barn conversions when he wins the lottery and spend money converting them all back to barns.Comment
