Hi,
Manny a true word spoken in jest!

Mind you I have a theory instead of kicking the old lot out.. and electing new politicians that we have to train,

re-elect the old ones, but smack them. it's cheaper!

I had a visit from a local hopeful, and he asked me what did I think the new government should do..? I said "nothing, stop trying to improve things. it never works"

Take the current messiah for instance.

But what do i know.. I am on this forum, and therefore a grumpy!
