In a similar vein, people who are either too stupid (or their car too clever) to put lights on in poor visibility. Fancy new cars will often have day-running headlights so people think they don't need to turn their lights on themselves, but they usually DON'T turn the rear lights on...

It'll be interesting to see how long it is until Ancestry.org get access to the 1921 census, as i have learnt quite a lot through them. The other good resource is the 1939 register which was conducted with the impending threat of war. Downside it doesn't include anyone who is still alive. I have...

Sadly a lot of the elected councillors (who voted on the decisions) are still there - the likes of Maton and O'Boyle spring to mind!

I presume that isn't the euphemism he'll be subjected to if Ms Maxwell throws him under the bus!!!

They are still "legal proceedings" though, Grendel. Just civil rather than criminal. You still take "legal action" against someone if you are suing them for libel, for example.

Just wait till they show the WOMEN's African Cup of Nations!!

I can't remember when i last heard someone being referred to as a twerp! PMSL

They don't anyway, do they? Not in any significant numbers, at least!

Did a degree in Biochemistry then kind of fell into doing a PhD in a similar field. Then had a fairly successful career in genetics research. Still use my scientific knowledge in providing health & safety advice to the science community at Warwick Uni. So yes, my degree became my specialism, but...

Can't they make it any sooner???

We said exactly the same, FP - no commute, no Xmas songs! I tend not to listen to music radio at home

Look at the size of the crowd at Leicester v Connacht! Absolutely packed. Proper rugby club!

Sadly, the Registrar of the University of Warwick (my employer) is also a governor of WCG. Shame, as i have quite a lot of respect for her in other areas.

WCG are by no means blameless and are showing themselves to be greedy mercenary twats. They bought all of the FE colleges in South Worcestershire (Malvern, Pershore and Evesham) with promises that they would maintain the educational offering. Four years on, and whaddya know? They are downsizing...

Amanda Rae does have a pretty dreamy voice, in my opinion. Some of her content is a bit lame though.

"People" in ONE constituency out of 650.

Should have said "a proportion of the residual 53%" in case someone might have taken it literally just to be obtuse.

A lot of people will vote differently to their normal habits when nothing is at stake. It doesn't really affect Boris as he still has a huge majority in the Commons. Protest votes quite frequently occur at by-elections then revert at the next GE. I predict the remaining 53% of the electorate...

Well quite! Both, equally!
