    The 'not so obvious' hot babes thread!

    You're lucky! Ken Russell told a movie-critic friend of mine (off the record) that he got fed up of all the wrangling over the financing of the film so deliberately stuffed up the ending.

    Spare a thought for mrs dutchman. She was promised a payout of £31,000 if Corbyn got in, not that she believed it would ever happen.
