Thanks for your red alert LCPT! This is one of those things, I didn't want to say I created this, and it is interesting how thoughts can bounce around the old skull. I looked to see if your "ditty" was posted on WOL, and though not finding it I assume it was one of your own. It has a robust no nonsense air about it! It would be nice to pin this down before it gets too trodden underfoot as it were. I remember feeling chuffed in creating a line about a showbiz party where "no turn was unstoned." I mentioned this to Bob Monkhouse who I worked with on and off, and he disillusioned me ascribing it a comic scriptwriter! ah well, upwards and onwards.

T hanks Kevin. It just came into my head - often a little twist is waiting to be discovered. I might expand on this in another form - who knows!

Ray

A really clever twisting of words.

Welcome all to the gentlemen's club of mild dissenters.
LCPT for the relevant and timely tip of the Saudi iceberg.

Thanks Mark for the verbals, as always in depth and almost entirely appropriate.

David what can I say? but I did get stuck on the first line.
Get over it.

Thanks Suki - that's pretty well expressed it! Rules were made to waived surely.

As a postscript - I had no agenda in mind, but just thought of the line as something different. Maybe its plagiarism, no idea.

Love to all youse.

Hi Ray,

I suppose waiving rules can sometimes be a good thing depending on who's doing the waiving and why. We, the plebs, should probably do more of it..

Pithy and to the point in an age in which we seem to have
lost confidence in politicians and politicians have lost the
good will of their electorate - for the most part self-
inflicted via their own duplicitous conduct. Farage gets
stick from certain quarters but his commitment to a return
to the proper primacy of Parliament cannot be questioned.
And there are still some others who are worthy of our
depleted confidence and we can always hope they keep
the faith in pursuing that aim under attack from the "we're doomed" merchants who lack the spine of our ancestors.
