this one could run & run

Heaven forfend! And if indeed it does begin to "run and run", please someone call for Nicholas Parsons to stop it on the grounds of repetition (and deviation)!

That all depends on whether we have nothing better to do. That might rule me out in a minute

For which much thanks

[Beef Oven]

Certainly not? You surely don't "make the assumption" that only two people are reading this thread, do you? (although it might come to that if a swift return to the subject matter does not occur). In the meantime, for the record and for the avoidance of doubt (if any), I have never acted as a double for anyone and do not intend to start now.

Never knowingly, perhaps,

I've just been listening to Danny Alexander. I don't know why he doesn't just come clean and join the Tory party. He's more right wing than most Conservatives, and about twice as arrogant. His announcements, expounded with such glee are far removed from the policies of his former party. A man with no principles.

i do not enjoy the baiting going on and will, as a moderator, take action if it does not cease now.... pre-moderation and exclusion are options ...

Thanks, but I don't need you to defend me. I don't mind being baited. But if you want o take action on the people that have baited me this morning, feel free.
