Still think every party should publish what they would have done in the budget, so we can compare and contrast.

1982? Far, far too many to list.
What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

I am truly vindicated! After years of my wife telling me that we didn't need all those cables cluttering up the drawers, I have sourced two cables for the eldest, that he didn't have, to be able to connect media stuff for his lads weekend away!

Looks like the weather is going to be kind this week. Might finally get a chance to do a final cut of my grass before Winter.

I honestly believe, if they ever make an R rated Doctor Who series they could do no better than Sean Pertwee as Doctor Who in all his profane glory. Very few people can swear better.

If Starmer is ousted, who do we want to take over as Leader of the Labour party?
