I'm not. I'll hear it on the radio alarm in the morning. Humphries and co will be talking of little else.

I have the sense that it will be a sort of Portillo moment

In passing... whilst we wait...  tunble:

I was watching "This Week"; there's not a phrase that Diane Abbot woman utters that doesn't make me feel like strangling her...  evil:

Quote from: BBC Web Shite
Tories snatch Crewe from Labour 
The Conservative Party has achieved its first by-election gain in 26 years, taking the previously safe Labour seat of Crewe and Nantwich.

Tory candidate Edward Timpson won 7,860 more votes than his Labour rival, overturning a 7,000 Labour majority at the general election - a 17.6% swing.

First words Humphries spoke this morning ~ well after he had said "Good morning"

Very good, more than a mid term flash in the pan. Naughtie seemed strangley put out about it. He got very aggressive with George Osborne who had to slap him down a couple of times and the interview was according cut short without a word of thanks by Naughtie.

I loved the Newsnight pre result coverage last night. Gavin Estler was almost in hysterics. The poor bugger just couldnt keep a straight face after one of the Labour cronies in Crewe called Gordo a guarranteed vote winner.

To be fair though he is, its just the votes are for the conservative party.

I want to see Gordo suffer.


A bloke in the village died the other day (46). His wife is  teacher at the school so it was "announced".

The daughter (age 7)  of a mate of mine came home that day and said, "The funeral's Friday. Is it burial or crucifixion?"

I feel the same about Gordo
