I had a chat to our Lib Dem candidate today. He said if they do poorly in the General Election, they'll contest the Jamaican election next year and call themselves Dem Libs.
Quick history lesson….when the old age pension, as it used to be called, was introduced in 1910 ( I was just a kid then ), it was called ninepence for fourpence which referred to the ratio of money paid in to money paid out.

I have the Evening (wasted) with Tom Lehrer LP. My wife was watching TV recently and I was surprised to hear Tom. It was a programme about the space race circa 1970 and some people were watching TV and Tom was on. Never thought I'd ever see him on TV.
All the signs are there and good. Just don't want to be shot down in flames. I'm not gonna go down the it's the hope that kills you path, but surely, Shirley, we're in for at least a happy, decent season.

Also, I went into the pub the other day and Vincent Van Gogh was sitting at a table. I shouted “oi Vince want a pint ?” “No, it's OK mate, I've got one 'ear” he said.
