being a completely abstinent soul I would not know about such things !!!!! Oh, I’m also brushing up my capacity for extreme Presbyterian posturing – which could get me a short term number with this crazy government. Knew that it would come in handy one day !.

Ireland could bring down yet another government in London. One day they’ll learn.

And the food . . . and the wine.

P.S -Can’t see Brexit happening with this lot steering it. If the fragile “majority” can’t quickly sort an open border for N.Ireland then DUP wii walk away. Sinn Fein in meantime won’t trust an Anglo government cosying up to the Orange order so openly ( although ALL Anglo Brit regimes have found it easy to do so in private ) .

wouldn’t bother spending too much time analysing that mess – most parties made a mess of things, focussing on the wrong areas, or worse still, developing a policy and failing to communicate the thing clearly which to me is a symptom of not really knowing what they wanted to do !

Good for Plaid that they won Ceredigion ( by a small margin ! ) but elsewhere they didn’t really strike a chord. I thought they intended having Bryant’s guts for garters but it went down the pan with a lot of others. It seems that the party machine was wheeled out far more vigorously this time by Labour and let’s not forget that Corbyn’s placid easy going manner with the odd spark of rhetoric/rant was far more effective across the UK than the facial contortions of the witch May and the meaningless repetition of a set of asinine mantras. If UK Gov fails to hold its collective trousers up we could have a replay later in the year which might generate yet another hung parliament. Someone said that we risk becoming like Italy used to be – well at least they had the weather !.

There will be something out later today or early tomorrow.

Point taken Daffy!

Right I’m off to bed after a night of political entertainment (every time it happens – I promise myself I won’t do it and then I do!).

How dare you suggest that alcohol may have played a part!! Actually, I was stone-cold sober, I wouldn’t have attempted anything tricky like that after a few snorts.

Is that what you describe being pissed on Argie red?
