Why Do Sporting Teams Go Anywhere Near Jonah Brown?

Guido had some money on Ireland winning the rugby today. England fans will have been despondent knowing that on Wednesday the England rugby team visited Downing Street. They were doomed as a result.

Ireland played poorly, missed penalties and still won, (narrowly). Thanks Gordon.

Newbie Bloggers Campbell & Prezza Challenge Dale & Guido (But Can’t Remember Whatsisname)


Looks like they, along with thousands of others, enjoyed the Draper’s Downfall video. Alas, Prezza forgot the name of Draper’s blog.

Tom Harris bemoans the public’s attitude to politicians…

“Mr Oborne echoes the lazy, anti-politics whine we hear so often these days, all based on the absurd notion that politicians were once loved and only fell out of public favour during the expenses scandal. He should take a walk to the Strangers’ Bar. But not to sup with the patrons he seems to despise so much, dearie me, no; he should instead look at the paintings on the corridor outside the bar, which depict the devastating fire which consumed most of the Palace in 1834. And he should reflect on the fact that on that dramatic night, as the Commons went up in flames, a crowd gathered on the South Bank to clap and cheer.”



Focus group time. says:

The thing that Dave needs to work out is which group is more likely to vote Conservative. Mad swivel-eyed loons or mad homosexuals wishing to get married.
