    I love outnumbered! Simple, funny telly, we need more of it!

    I'm half listening to the debate - I know who I'm voting for but I think this year is the first I've really been interested in it all.....I must be a proper grown up now! :eek:

    Had to open a dispute on ebay over a buyer not paying, funnily enough she managed to pay within an hour of the dispute being open! :cool:

    Edited to add - Claire - my facebooks gone strange too -was going very slow earlier so they must have issues.

    claire, I honestly can't thank you enough for making that for me, you made my mum's day. And then I made her month (or scared her) by telling her I'm coming down in June and taking her to Canterbury...she doesn't know I shall be treating her to make up for my idiot sisters...shes their mum !!!!!!, and they all forgot her birthday.


    I enjoyed making it for her, sad yours sisters never got anything for her.

    does it fit?

  • I was listening to a debate on the local BBC radio station, the labour candidate couldn't string a coherant sentance together. It was awful.

    Pooky, that's happened to me before. It makes you wonder.

    claire, I guess so as she hasn't said anything. She's pretty slim wristed so it should fit.

    bloomin debate - they aren't answering the effing questions!

    I've just got in and started watching it, I'm an hour behind. Opening statements were good - Cameron said he'd crack down on benefits claimants and not join the Euro, so that's two more reasons not to vote for him. I loved Brown's joke though - that he knows how to manage an economy, he's the one that got us into this mess!

    I know who I'm voting for, I decided ages ago. But I emailed all of my candidates for clarification on a couple of manifesto points, only the Lib Dem got back to me, pretty poor of the others.

    My sister today was talking about who she'll vote for, I was shocked, I don't think she's ever voted before, but something's got her involved.

    Sadly, I know a lot of disabled people who aren't voting, as a protest - very dangerous I think.

    Anyway I'll shut up about politics now!

    I had a good drum lesson, I can play a whole bar :rotfl:. I have a rogue right leg though that wont do what it's told!
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
