eek Jenny, sounds scary

toast, it is BRILLIANT isn't it. Impossible not to come out of it with a giant crush on Desmoulins. Will refrain from discussing further until you've finished it but there's a BIG twist at the end!

LOL and at the difference btw Fras Nelson's prediction and the one I reported. Everything Everybody Knows Is Wrong.

I don't think we trust urbane in the UK, Hassled, so they probably deliberately don't cultivate it.

Hassled · 11/05/2010 17:04

Why can't the British do urbane well? I'm trying to think of someone British and urbane - Nigel Hawthorne in Yes, Minister? But I need someone a)current and b)not ficticious.

Be careful on your bike AppleTree - I was nearly knocked off mine this morning by some idiot who decided to overtake me and turn left. Had to slam on the brakes and my shoulders and neck are quite sore now!

MmeLindt · 11/05/2010 16:56

ok. Going back to my ironing board, camera close by to catch the bird.

AppleTreeWick · 11/05/2010 16:55

Wow this thread moves fast. Right I am now going to cycle home...therefore there will be a major announcement within the next 45 minutes (I cycle veeery slowly not a long way) OK and start stopwatch now

MmeLindt · 11/05/2010 16:54

Getorf
I followed the link from his blog here

thetoriesaretoast · 11/05/2010 16:53

He's so urbane, isn't he MmeLindt? Europe really is where the grown-ups live.

MmeLindt · 11/05/2010 16:52

German journo trying not laugh at silly questions about markets crashing.

And criticising the British press. GO THOMAS

thetoriesaretoast · 11/05/2010 16:52

Yes Policywonk, half way through A Place of Greater Safety. At night when I go to bed it all gets muddled in my head - GB = Danton, Mandelson probably Desmoulins, i.e. totally amoral and Machiavellian. Keep expecting to wake up and find the Cult of the Supreme Being has kicked off.

Hmmm Mme L - large bird of prey swooping over the House? Does it have a Hammy, Shiny face? I may be able to help identify.

MmeLindt · 11/05/2010 16:49

LOL

Alistair Campbell tweeted

The bloody skycopter makes almost as much whining noise as Adam Boulton. How can Cameron and Co concentrate?

LOL, think I am in love

Oh sorry GetOrf, you'd already said that

policywonk · 11/05/2010 16:48

Haven't managed to go yet

Twitter saying@: LibDems have 6 cbt posts, Clegg is Deputy PM.

Nothing can be decided for certain before LD's fed exec cttee meeting 7.30 tonight.

MmeLindt · 11/05/2010 16:48

Slightly distracted by a HUUUUGGGEEE bird of prey swooping over our house. Not sure what kind of bird it is, not very good on birds. Will try to snap a pic.

taffetacat · 11/05/2010 16:47

GOML

GetOrfMoiLand · 11/05/2010 16:46

Will the real privy councillor please stand up

GetOrfMoiLand · 11/05/2010 16:45

Ooh the Libdems have got to meet with their federal executive (oh how they give themselves important sounding names) at 7.30 tonight before they can agree to tory deal.
