    Is this the same black whole that was mentioned during the interview?.

    Did I actually spell black hole with a W?. (shakes head slowly...)
    Anger ruins joy, it steals the goodness of my mind. Forces me to say terrible things. Overcoming anger brings peace of mind, a mind without regret. If I overcome anger, I will be delightful and loved by everyone.

    Are you one of those ToryBots that are paid to float round the boards and enhance the party reputation :D or even better devalue the opposition.

    Stevie - are you saying that MSE has been infiltrated by Tories? But you laughed at this:

    Aren't Jacquie Smith and Harriet Harman the same person? They look like twins.

    Re. the comparison with Vince Cable - the difference is that VC is not expected to actually resolve the problems, while GB knows that any flicker of firm commitment will be pounced on and he'll be hounded until he delivers.

    Agree about the soporific delivery - I think he has been replaced by an automaton that checks every nuance before the words come out, just in case he says something that will get him even deeper in the mire.

    I wish we could have a "leak" on whatever it is that is promised for suffering savers in the Budget. Why is there never a leak when you really need one?
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D
