    And did he not turn a stupid lump of lard into a deputy prime minister?

    Just suggestions, for the pope.
    He also actively promoted Remploy by allowing one of their own to become Prime Minister

    No, he did not do that.

    Blair will always hold a special place in my heart.

    Until he came along I had always, perhaps naively, believed in the integrity of the body politic, so to speak.

    Now I think they're all pretty much a bunch of shysters and charlatans (which perhaps they always have been) and I treat every utterance from each and every one of them with the utmost scepticism.

    Cheers Tone.

    they prefer to be called attendants.

    Weird when you come away from pointing at the Marble and they rush forward with warm towels.

    I haven't seen a toilet cleaner wearing a shirt and tie in even the most expensive of places.

    Oik isn't a word in the TWL scrabble dictionary. Really annoyed me, that did. SOWPODS has it though.
