Young Nick Blair seems to be holding the lead he gained off the telly debate.
Maybe the country will vote for him as a potential fresh start, something different. We tried a woman once, anything can happen.
Brown is a finished man, whatever happens. Good riddance, you seat-stealing wobble-lipped insult to the Labour movement. With zero leadership skills and zero respect, he should have quit many months ago.
“Call me Dave”, well, nuff said. Boris should be the head of that party, at least we’d know where we stood.

As I said about 500 posts ago, I live in an outrageously Tory area, and yet the MP is a total wimp. He won’t get my vote based on the fact he is a chinless plonker. Our Labour candidate has been told by his employer that he must leave if he wins. Ooh err! That’s not legal, they have to hold his job open whilst he serves. His employer is the Local Council…they really should know better. He’s getting a lot of votes based on this. He isn’t a bad bloke anyway.

I would imagine the A321 is actually more. It will do 3 maybe 4 turnrounds in a day, the A380 does 1 flight. Most profit in the Airline business comes from the trash they sell on board (According to Mr Flybe when I met him last year), including the drinks. You can only sell duty free/drinks/gifts once on the A380.

Good for you BB – that’s exactly my sentiments too. I’m a Scot, but even I love seeing all those St George’s flags waving at the Proms, etc.
But seeing the Union flag flying in Scotland just makes my blood boil…

But the union Flag is the greatest flag on the planet! Well, it was, when we ran it. Now it’s all gone to pot, including the home nations. If I see the blue flag of death ….. no,….that’s microsoft………the Blue flag of Scotland then I sort of feel proud on their behalf. Or the taffs for that matter. The NI don’t tend to fly their flag a lot just yet.

I’m with Bee, English not British. And not european. Actually, 500 years ago I was a Krout, ha ha ha. One side of the family wore suits of Armour and did duels and such, they were the tutonic toffs. The other side were executed for stealing a lot of horses. The toffs came to England and somehow lost Toffdom, hence I’m on here instead of asleep on my yacht.

However, when there is no UK interest in the world cup (Or any sport which happens to be on telly), my support extends geographically from the UK, avoiding France, China and Japan. And possibly Belgium.

STRANDED TOURISTS TO BE FIRED FROM A CANNON
19-04-10

THOUSANDS of British tourists stranded in Calais will begin their journey home today by climbing into the end of a giant cannon pointed roughly at Kent.

Ministers insist that some people won’t die. As the Icelandic volcano attack entered its fifth day, the government said long-range artillery was now the best option for getting people back to the UK as all the boats had been reserved for trade unionists, Guardian readers and friends of JK Rowling.

Lord Mandelson, secretary of state for whatever the f??? he wants, added: “Only the 14 richest people in Europe can now afford to travel by Eurostar, while Dan Snow and his rag-tag armada of inflatable dinghies have almost certainly been eaten by whales.”

This morning British embassy staff are setting up a deli counter ticket dispenser at Cap Gris Nez near the French port and asking tourists to form an orderly queue.

When their number is called, each ‘passenger’ will be given a bicycle helmet, a banana and magazine to read during their flight before being fired from the cannon at just under 78mph.

They will then soar across the English channel, at least 20ft below the deadly ash cloud, before hopefully landing in a large inflatable mattress that has been set up in the car park of the Folkestone branch of Sainsbury’s in Bouverie Road West.

After returning the magazine and the helmet they can walk to the local station and take their chances with the UK rail network.

Tom Logan, his wife Helen and two of their three children will be fired as a group at 10.30am.

He said: “Apparently the cannon can only take four at a time, so we’ve had to leave one behind. We went for the ginger one. I’d imagine the French will probably just eat him.”

British Airways will today carry out a series of test flights in a bid to calculate exactly how much it will cost them when planes start dropping out of the sky, while Ryanair has cancelled all of its flights until Wednesday, though aviation experts stressed this is probably just an elaborate tax dodge.

Meanwhile the quiet, clear blue skies above the UK have prompted speculation over what the world would be like without contraptions.

Professor Henry Brubaker, of the Institute for Studies, said: “According to my computer, it would take ages to get to Australia, but, by the same token, it would also take an awfully long time for Australians to get here. Which would, of course, be excellent.”

Surely the intakes of a big pison engine will fall to the same problem. I wouldn’t want molten glass and silica in my car lump. My car air filter is for that, but the larger piston engines don’t have such paper filters do they? I thought they only had a mesh type (About 33swg, 0r 0.254mm).

Nah, we’ll be space hoppin in a thousand years. What’s the death date of the Sun? About 3 billion more isn’t it?

Or, do you think we’ll be zonked by an Asteroid, or a nuclear war?

A car on the M3 with the plate W00 BABY. I think it was WO 08 ABY.

I don’t really like “Cherished” plates, but that one made I giggle.

Hmm – Obama’s a wiley politician……

Well, he’s certainly full of the same shipt all the rest of them are.

When the Sun turns into a Red Lump, we need to populate another Solar system. Mars isn’t far enough away. But living on it may teach us how to migrate to another world.
