    Bake some Garibaldi biscuits; that should be sufficiently ambiguous to please all your family.

    I made a Bundt cake. A little too german sounding really, but blame all those German Immigrants to america lol.

    Who was the outer?

    Dad. Course he is o the age, ie 60 where leave was the most popular vote.

    the boys and I were remain (athough one didnt really give a toss). One twin (the one just finished law school) was very upset with all the oldies voting out, as he hasnt got a job yet. The OH took exceotion to his tweets/retweets and threatened to make him walk 100+ miles to the ferry lol.

    The boys at least all have a vote in the US election, so maybe that will life their their spirits

    Anyone whose spirits would be lifted at having to choose between the mountebank and the vixen must be very young indeed.

    Well really Hillary isnt my fav candidate ever either. But given the choice in the last labor leadership election (or even the next) cant see your point here,

    Except in the case of voting against the Donald. Voting against the Donald has to be a spirit lifter. I consider it a vocation.

    Not that I have any influence over my sons. I have to refuse to believe that they would consider him however.

    My only nudge is not reminding them to return their postal votes. And given postal votes usually dont count (apart from in the case of the dangling chad back in 2004) I am confident that my flying home to vote as usual will make sure my vote counts.

    Go on, taunt me then. What will be your choice? Boris again Corbyn?

    Personally I would prefer just about anyone in this world rather than Boris with the so,e exception of Trump. I truly worry as to what the world would look like with Boris as PM and Trump as president.

    Boris and Trump are clearly related, still trying to work out exactly how:-)

    Looking at their hair they must be very closely related. Brothers perhaps.

    Looking at the way they act I'd guess their parents were pretty closely related as well.
