Alice In Wonderland. Canny enough for a weekend evening's light entertainment really. Saw it in "3D", which took some of the shine off it - pointless much?

Wandered across Trafalgar Square on the way to the pub earlier and they had a big stage up for the St. George's Day celebrations. As we passed, a rhythm 'n' blues band started playing "All Shook Up". It made me proud to be English.

What industry do you work in? If you don't mind me asking. Banking - I work in IT for the London branch of a German Landesbank (regional state bank). The bank asked its shareholders for a capital injection to cover toxic losses and a condition of that was an EU backed restructuring. As I think we established once, my lot translates a good amount of your lot's stuff. So if you ever are affected by the cutbacks - and touch wood you won't be, obviously - just let me know and I'll start inserting abusive footnotes and anti-Kraut comments in the hidden text.

Amen. Pickled Onion or Beef Munch? I'd have thought Meenzer would go for Beef Munch tbh. Betraying the brotherhood I realise, but pickled onion all the way.

At last, my two worlds collide!

Pretty even I'd say. Cameron stronger than last time and I can imagine him having been convincing if you like what he was saying, Brown pretty meaty on policy for the most part, Clegg a bit lightweight but largely decent given he was under attack far more following the first debate.

Couldn't really care less about it one way or the other, but obviously it should be on an equal footing and all that. And Guinness Day can sod off, of course.

Anyone who visited me when I was in Germany had to bring Twiglets, Monster Munch or a jar of two of decent curry paste or they'd be sleeping on the pavement.

What kind of money are we talking? Oh, nothing ridiculous like the article mentions, at least in isolation - £50 to £100 per item, that kind of thing. Cumulatively it's not a bad rainy day fund to have at your (semi-)disposal though, assuming no drop-off in the propensity of the aforementioned pink pounders to waste their money on useless rubbish.

Agree with the review, and that's how I got hold of the book too. Apparently anything that was featured on the Richard and Judy Book Club is fair game for easy charity shop pickings these days...
-
Uff. That'd have to shake you up a bit, and them too of course! Glad to hear everyone's OK mate.
-
Just had a look to see if there were any vaguely cheap fares up for the day, but nowt doing at this late stage unfortunately. Do sink a few Trent G&Ts for me.

I've got a few Eurovision bits and bobs that idiots would pay decent money for if I sold them. But I won't, because I'm an idiot too.
-
You did notice the word "taste" in the thread name?
-
They'd also be paying £100 a month more in rent.

By definition, then, Parky supports MPs who maintain multiple residences but only pay tax on the "cheapest" of them. It's a hard life. You should have been a politician. Impossible, I'm right far too often for that.

Learn some respect around here you little fecker, you and your "68" posts Quality not quantity, Mr. 717.

aye - used to have more hands than a Hindu Idol I pray to Ganesha you'll extend that to the current LibDems and not just the Liberals of old. Given the accuracy of your F1 predictions, a blanket condemnation of all things yellow and birdy should just about confirm Clegg as PM.
-
Nice of you to mention that, actually. One of my pet hates among politicians is the use of the word "fudge". It comes up a lot in party polliticks and for all it's primarily a Tory thing - Cameron even stuck it in his recent panic-ridden rant about how voting Lib Dem would create "uncertainty, fudge and division" - it's by no means limited to old Etonians. Anyway, I admit it's a thoroughly irrational hatred, I just think the word sounds utterly posh-boy and out of touch with how normal people actually speak. Really sets my teeth on edge. Normal service may resume.

It has been over on UK Polling Report. Keep up, old media. In all seriousness, it's an interesting point indeed, but it needs Clegg to have a good second debate too. Insofar as anyone'll be watching it since it's on Sky News. Maybe "it needs Clegg to have a good mainstream media response to the second debate too" would be more accurate.
