    I am glad they are too busy having fun to wave at us.
    Maybe they're busy making police statements :)

    Hasn't it been that way for a while?

    I didn't think so. Compare to Thatcher, she was a person not a brand. When she died it was definitely her as an individual.

    Never saw it, (why would anyone watch?.:eek:). only read about it here.....usually in veiled references.

    It wasn't a question of wanting to watch it, you scrolled down his webpage and it was there:eek: No one in their right mind would want to watch it!

    Curiosity .... I'd not stalked him enough to know he had one ... else I'd have been there, checking out if the rumours about umbrellas on the website were true...... it's like a car crash... you have to look once you know.

    Hello:wave:
    Just waiting for a train. It's almost bedtime. Oops!
    Had a lovely evening meeting many friends though. Hope they all have safe journeys home :)

    Edit: I did have an umbrella with me, but it stayed in my bag. No sharp points either ;)

    Safely tucked up in a hotel, having had a good evening. Everyone kept it real.

    What are all the references to umbrellas about?

    LiR are you well today?

    I did hear a comedien once describe him as proof prison worked - he didn't reoffend...

    I have just got home. I blame you lot, I meant to have one quick drink and then go home early!
    ...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'.
