This is our 4th thread now!

Marking my place.

marking place as I am about to brave the evils of the school run in this terrible hailstormy weather. If I am gone too long, send out a resuce party <<brrrrr>>

I'm a righty frother.

And you are very welcome MrsMicawber if you identify with the "this is wrong, this is too much sentiment".

Leftie just scanned nicely (and most of us are lefty types but we do have the odd Tory!).

What a fabulous title.

Back again. Keeping an eye and signing things.

You can bookmark as well? If you hover over the bottom right hand corner of the last post you've read a little blue box comes up saying bookmark, press on that and next time you come on the thread it takes you straight there.

I think the problems started the minute they put their party names together. Was never really going to work, was it.

Oh yes, I have mine in a lovely purple.

Glad you like the title Hully Hunty has an excellent one for the next thread.

V good point.

I think the problems started when the Lib Dems forgot their manifesto and Nick got into bed with Dave. So to speak.

Nick forgot his manifesto, Dave lied about his to begin with, and poor people got poorer.

yy. When Nick bent over and said, Shove it right there Dave, just so long as I can be Deputy.

It is particularly unhelpful to have an election where nobody sticks by their campaign promises. Just to add to the deciding who to vote for was a complete waste of time side of things.

Oh hunty, it's okay because the white paper says that no one will get less benefits than they do now....

MrsM I do declare, you are one of us!

I think some kind of law must be passed to make manifestos more binding.

Font but we know that's BOLLOCKS don't we?

Oh crap - I think I just had a contraction

Why thank you Kate!

Ooh! If we could make this a live birth thread Te that would get us more hits
