    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

      Gordon Brown
      He did pop up in Guardian report the other day - can't remember what it was about, but I did sort of think "is that the' Gordon Brown?"

                        japanese radiation is quietly landing all over the world. The IAEA and the governments with nuclear generating plants(ie most of them) don't really want to talk about it,as it proves what a daft way it is to make electricity.

                        also whatever happened to

                        the labour party being pro working people.

                        the likely lads.(sorry LT1 beat me to it !!).
                        I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
