    I've just realised that Question Time isn't live. I always assumed that it is, but they are at City Hall and the London skyline isn't dark. Now I think about it, of course they wouldn't be filming it at 10.30 at night, but I guess I figured that the panellists would go there 'after work' :rotfl:

    I was in the audience when I was at university. It was filmed about 6pm then broadcast later that evening. I can't watch it any more as they keep letting complete tools on the panel and it makes me angry before bed time...

    No photo anyways :(

    Strange - I see it - I guess as it is an attachment to my gmail which I am logged into.

    Edit - that seemed vaguely cool - I signed out of gmail, reloaded the mse page and sure enough the photo disappeared.
    I think....

    No photo here either, Michaels.
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    I know. Tonights vexation was three lib dem guy saying that the housing market relies on rising prices to function normally.
    Anyway, starting strangely on topic, Max Kaiser (sure one of our board mates is a fan and has posted some slightly shouty links in the past) is on This Week. Should be interesting!

    I don't think most rental agreements preclude the fitting of decent brightness bulbs - you can get 100w eqiv energy savers.
    It's effort, energy, equipment issues. To change the lightbulbs I'd first have to buy a method of becoming taller (even though they are wall lamps), then I'd have to work out how to remove the covers, so might need tools .... then they need to be not seized on and I need to get the cover off, to inspect the bulb. Then, I need to find where to get different lightbulbs cheapest/close by. Then I have to work that trip into my journeys, remember I want to buy them, actually do it. Then I'd need to get back and replace the bulbs using the method of becoming taller and the tools.

    So it's not straight forward. So I'll live with it and just be annoyed. There are far more important annoyances I could fix with that amount of effort etc.

    He is mental. Talked an absolute load of gibberish as well. I liked the bit where he danced around with an umbrella though.

    I caught the very end of QT and noticed they had one of those annoying DM journalists on and Russell brand trying not to talk posh for a bit.

    I reckon that there are swings and roundabouts. So wrinkle free forehead but too many grey hairs (better that way round because hair dye is less harmful and less dodgy than botex). Thick hair but thin nails.

    OH's adopted cousin got random letter from biological mother - I thought that wasn't meant to happen. Name/ address not meant to be released without consent?
