Just to make it 100 posts for this topic:

Three surgeons are discussing who were the best patients to operate on.

The first surgeon says, 'I like to see electricians. Everything inside them is colour-coded.'

The second surgeon says, 'You know, I like builders. They understand when you have a few parts left over at the end, and when the job takes longer than you said it would.'

But the third surgeon observed, 'You're all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains, and no spine, and there are only two moving parts - the mouth and the r. sole- and they're interchangeable.

Thanks to Mr Platt on the Lancashire Fusiliers website.

Went to the Salford do last night & the Chairman spoke positively about Barton.

Hazel Blears was asked to make the Raffle draw and had - shall we say - a mixed reception from the audience.

but she didn't draw out my two entries, anyway you don't enter a raffle to win you enter to help a good cause.
Looking around last night I reckon there were many tory voters in the room which would account for some of the booing she received.

Agree with that Pev and certainly many more Tory voters than last year too.
