Does anyone know how much it costs to bribe a member of Parliament to smooth the passage of a private member's bill through Parliament?

I am in the shameful position of sharing a birthday (month and day, not year) with Mr Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. I need to change it asap, for I am finding the shame too stressful to bear.

It can't be done by deed poll, so I'm sure it can get only be done by an Act of Parliament. A bonus will be that I can have a summer birthday, rather than one in the grey days of February

Sounds like you've been prescribed antibiotics for either flu or Covid which makes no sense

Just a chest infection with a bit of bronchitis thrown in. Very rarely need antibiotics he had a good listen to my chest and lungs.
Sounds like bsb not overly impressed though

Alternatively I had a call from the surgery three or four times as didn't hear it checking if I'd either rung in or emailed them, to check my details (phone I think it was) to check if I'd had the flu jab, which I had about a month ago, somebody phishing, using my identity?

If he’s given antibiotics for a viral infection it won’t do anything!

You say this with zero irony and it’s quite funny.

Simple question, would you have let Northern Rock and other banks fail?

I would have played hardball with them and said if we're bailing you out, we're getting control and ownership and you're giving us those shares for nothing. If you don't those shares will be worth nothing anyway. And will be increasing regulation and tightening tax rules. If you don't like the terms feel free to negotiate with other financial institutions and look for a better deal and if you find one then you don't need taxpayer money. If you don't find a better deal why should the country use taxpayer money/increase debt to help an industry filled with rich individuals that is responsible for all its own problems.

Ball is in their court. If they fail, it's their choice. And that money could have gone into the pockets of everyday people suffering from the crisis, not prop up multi millionaires so they could keep their bonuses and dividends.
