      Environment Secretary says families should use bath water to flush toilets despite record rain

      I’ve been standing in my shower for half-an-hour and still haven’t filled a cup.

      Off to empty a Jerry-can

      Circumference?

      • 33
        Ah! Monika says:

        2 x pi x r (sqrd) x h

          Engineer says:

          Close – that’s the volume of a cylinder.

          Mind you, she’s probably after maximum volume.

          • sockpuppet #4 says:

            Not close at all. Unless you’re a kind of “it works don’t complain” engineer. Household Boiler engineer for example.

          • Ah! Monika says:

            Hey. I know that. Grammar School Boy.

          • jgm2 says:

            pi x r x r = area of a circle.

            pi x r x r x h = volume of a cylinder

            2 x pi x r x r x h = volume of two cylinders

            Innit.

            pi x r x r = area of a circle.

            2 x pi x r = circumference of a cicle

            2 x (pi x r x r) PLUS (2 x pi x r x h) = area of a cylinder

            Easy.

    Ugh, all these Tories want is a lobbying scandal to wash them all away. They’re all greedy for expenses and lobbying freebies

      They’re truly sickening, aren’t they?

        Seabury Pongleton QC says:

        Too psychologically deranged to attend court and here you are, gracing the blogosphere with your large presence.

        I see there’s nothing wrong with your sense of irony.

          Margaret Moran says:

          It was only the thought of being punished that made me pretend to be ill.

          Now that I haven’t been punished I’m feeling much much better.

          • Ernie Saunders c/o Cayman Islands says:

            Margaret, give me a call – I can give you some good advice (at a cost).

            Believe me, alzheimer’s is the best card to play.

      I don’t think Labour or Leveson will want reminding of that photograph about 2/3 of the way down…

      Tony Blair next to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Michael Mullen, left, and News Corporation Chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch, right, as they accept their Leadership Awards at Atlantic Council’s 2008 Gala

      • 34
        The Labour Party says:

        The photograph was clearly Photoshopped to show our most successful leader next to the vile repulsive Murdoch. You are a fool not to have noticed this Stalinesque deception.

        We would also like to point out that Tony Blair is vile Tory filth and never had anything to do with us.

        • 67
          yeah, right.... says:

          Said in jest but we should not be surprised if, on Any Questions any time soon, Harperson states, with total confidence, that Blair was a Tory prime minister.

          We were never at war with Eurasia.

      yes, couldn’t she and jacqui Smith set up an estate agents company together?

      Maximus says:

      About right for her competence at Defra. Evidently Sir Humphrey has no intention of letting her groom the horses, no matter what the Pasty Boy in No. 10 would like.

    17 inches is far too short a drop to break her neck. She’ll just strangle herself.

    Local Government Secretary Eric Pickles ‘turned beetroot’ in his efforts to stifle his mirth.

    I think Eric Pickles wants to be aiming for less than 140mm Hg

    She’s probably referring to one of those extending ones – you pump fluid in and it lengthens. You do need a smooth bore and a tight fitting gland to avoid leakage, though.

    17 inches – if you took that off Pickles’s waist he would only have a 73 inch waist…..

      When one measures in inches it sounds like you might be talking about bike tyres, computer disks or dicks.

      There is no EU mandate on the metrification of cock measurement.

        Again the French have a good word.
        Le Pisseur.

        And a good phrase for Guardian readers too.

        Les incontinence nocturne;
        Le personne qui pisse au lit.

      Boris could put on a big stovepipe hat and make a huge canal from mid wales to london. Right through Witney. See if he can get his mates to pay for it like he did with the bikes.

    And no-one added, “Said the actress…”, to give her a clue?

    What are we coming to as a society?
