... thy maasdam come thy re'blo'chon On chaource as it is in edam Give us this day our daily bread And forgive us our fake cheddars I thangyou. I'm here (mediocrely) all week....

Amanda - I think it's more - "Stop knocking on my door, cock in hand!"...

Did he write his comments? If so, I might take exception with his description of the English as "gentile and polite". I know quite a few rude Jewish people....

Elfy - did you work in Ken's press office? Sure I read that statement last year. The fact is, Venezuela didn't do the deal, Hugo Chavez did. As the article rightly mentions and as Amnesty agree (...

Then how does that square with Mr. Meyer's: "importantly, they are all true and genuine!" ...

I confidently predict that this attraction will join Madame Tussauds and the London Dungeon as one of those places that no-one from London ever visits. Best part of £20 to see a mini covered in cry...

DeanN, you're right, and it's odd that the article seems to suggest otherwise. Strictly speaking, it was originally a suggestion made by Darcus Howe that older Caribbean people might feel more comfor...

Seriously, Ken: GET OVER IT ...and that's not quite the way the James McGrath thing happened. ...

" Despite objections from our livers and serious renal remonstrance, we spent last Saturday working our way though a laevorotatory pub crawl of the major London termini " First time I've ever had to ...

DeanN - you do seem to go for the ad hominem before actually responding to readers' views. I don't particularly care, having been raised in the killing fields of b3ta, etc., but it might just rub up ...

"the first new official instalment of the series" Honest question, do Kingsley Amis / Robert Gardner not count? And if so, why not?...

DePfeffel - you *are* actually Boris, aren't you?...

This ex-cadet was in no way offended by the above article. Moreover, titting about with weapons as shown in the photo would absolutely not have been allowed in my contingent....

(wanders away to find a kettle to talk to)...

Honestly, always seeing agendas in perfectly straightforward reporting. I don't know. ...

Indeed - that's one of the most convincing explanations of teenage violence I've ever read. Streets beyond anything to be found in the acres of coverage written by the newspaper commentators....

Dean lives under a bridge and eats goats....

P'fft. He's cancelling the Londoner. That's good in itself, saving £3m of taxpayers' money. Any trees planted are a bonus - the voting thing is ridiculous, though. As far as the article goes - not...
