Despite having a million things to do today, I agreed with M it was important to get these lesions biopsied, so was about to head off to hospital with him after the school run..... and the car has broken down.

Merv King holding back – fiscal stimulus Mr Brown?
Where the bloody hell does Gordon Brown think all the money comes from for his ridiculous notions of increased fiscal stimulus for god's sake??

Wall stickers go up on Stick Em up Saturday

God bless it when you need to furnish a rental flat, and it's never ending supply of affordable, decent quality and likeable flat fillers. I Love It. Can't stand Ashton, worship Warrington, can find my way round the place blindfolded.... Continue Reading →
