Thought I'd start this thread as feel sure ALLAMS will start to get mightily hacked off if her/his in box gets full of postings from me and Wondering about the above topic. So, post away folks - but remember no bickering now!

'Everyone and everything' that sounds like a sweeping generalisation to me Wondering. I was merely pointing out that you have started threads in the past that have nothing specifically to do with Dawlish. Presumably then you won't be doing the same in the future? And er.......we wouldn't be bickering would we, you and I? (apologies again ALLAMS)

Private Eye and Have I Got News For You - yes agree, very good sources of info. Such, such, a shame that Spitting Image is no more. And Bremner, Bird and Fortune. So why no satire on the tv these days? After all it isn't as though scriptwriters are short of topics to write about.............

Apparently he had been booked to appear on the show as he was going to announce stronger penalties for benefit cheats. For some reason although he still appeared on the show that announcement wasn't made. Wonder why? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/10747122/Benefit-cheats-face-higher-fines-and-losing-their-homes.html

Yes I am very aware she is looking to be re-elected. But until NR's report is ready (June is the month NR is quoting) how can anyone in April make any comments on what the best course of action will be a la the NR report given that it won't be complete until two months time?
