    My mother reckoned you shouldn't buy Brussels sprouts until after the first decent frost of the winter, and we haven't had that yet.

    I think our current government would have far more convictions if the senior Met Police weren't frightened of being done for murdering that electrician.

    I don't really know. I thought perhaps he is softening us up for a world dominating invasion of Daleks. The lizard will know.

    So we're ruled a little more by corrupt incompentents we didn't vote for in Brussels, and a little less by corrupt incompentents we didn't vote for in London.

    Quel difference?

    It was a "working dinner":

    Going into the meeting the leaders had various candidates to choose from.

    There were fears that the negotiations would go on late into the night, but it quickly emerged that a deal had been struck.
    A simple cry of "You don't get any pud until you've voted" was the real solution.
