    Sorry Numpty - just cause you're not here, I forgot to include you - how could I? abject apologies ...3Dogs can be seen wandering off red faced .....

    I got a bit confused there Tixy - not like me, is it Spoon????

    Not at all, 3Dogs, you're very organised and rational - must have been a senior/blonde moment:D:D:D

    Bit like the election on here at the moment:

    Numpty : PM
    Niddy : Chancellor
    Tixy : Foreign Secretary
    3Dogs, Nargle, nicca and the rest of us : minions

    I think we'd sort the country out between us..

    What's our party name? Are we Numpty's monkeys? :D
    At least all our expenses would be well under control (now - god knows what the papers might dig up about past frivolities ;)) Though I'm sure Handyman would know a stroy or seven about the editor so we could also dabble in the obligatory bribery and corruption!

    I am very scared by the results so far. And the amount of people with plums in their mouth saying, but Mr Cameron has a "presidential look". What's tha got to do with the price of cheese? (Or petrol. Or houses. Or jobs. Or education. Or family... your gonna have to knock me off my soap box! ...)

    Handyman is into bribery and corruption,
    A local council asked 3 builders to tender for a Job.

    Paddy was builder 1 and quoted 2 days 2 men £200 for the Job,
    Builder 2 was of Northern desent (jock) (I'm trying to be politically correct here to evade censorship). He quoted 4 men 4 Days and £ 400 for the Job.
    Builder 3 was of a certain religious persasion. He contacted Builder 2 and said Remove your quote, I am asking 6 men, 6 days and £1000 for the job.

    Hows that said builder 2, well he said the clerk of works is a mate, so its £200 for Him, £300 for each of us and £200 for paddy we'll subcontract him to do the job.

    Best wishes and good night to all, handyman123.

    That might appeal to the general public - bit of a change - think we should go with that:D

    Good thinking - that should serve us in good stead!

    Hoping it's a bit too early to be that worried, nicca, keeping my fingers crossed that common sense will prevail

    I'm torn between having watched this far, I need to keep going and see it through or going to bed and hoping it's all just a bad dream!

    I was contemplating adding things to ebay while I watch - but that's just madness!
