Oh, great! Does that mean it's now open season for Clacton? Right . . . . .

Thanks for asking.
We are at my Son and Daughter in L's house in deepest rural Gloucestershire (one bus a week to Cheltenham on a Tuesday) for the next month or two. My wife has just had the metalwork in her knee removed (following the fracture she suffered in Slovenia in March 2013) at Trafford General Hospital (founding hospital of the NHS don't you know!) and is recovering well and already able to walk a good few miles. I have to have a hernia repair op in December as there is a risk of strangulation. Old age is not recommended but retirement is.
My wife's endrometrial and ovarian cancer appears to be in full remission, which is remarkable since in 2011 she was given the worst possible prognosis and we really have the wonderful Christie in Manchester to thank for that. Check-up in December for her everything crossed.
I do appreciate this site and, as for many, is my first port of call.

So I followed their advice to put a cup of bleach in with detergent and do another empty wash.

Result, masses of foam in the washing machine, it wouldn't drain or spin, foam deluging out of the soap drawer and outflow drain pipe, wet mess everywhere.
Husband's had to pull all the appliances out and deal with it.
Have been banned from kitchen as he considers me a potential hazard, so am back seat organising from the other room.

Its way off topic but I often recommend Dan Hodges articles so I feel I ought to defend him. Reading his stuff over a long period I feel that while his head has left Labour his heart hasn’t

Well, I don’t know anything about him apart from this article that “jedibeeftrix” referred us to, and going by this article he’s Tory, Tory, Tory. Tory in the head, Tory in the heart. Someone who has that fundamentally Tory idea that money made form owning things is so much more noble than dirty money made by work, so shouldn’t be taxed unlike the money that the plebs have to work for. Someone who doesn’t care about how inheritance of property with its values pushed sky high by lack of the sort of property tax most other countries have is the main driving force in growing inequality in this country, rapidly becoming the most unequal country in western Europe. Someone who doesn’t care about how this is forcing people out of the chance of having a roof over their head as so long as HE lives his life is luxury in his stonkingly big house and can pass it untaxed to his kids so they can effortlessly stay at the top regardless of whether they gave any real merits apart form choosing a dad who is stonkingly rich owing to owning a stonkingly big house. Tory, Tory, Tory, these are all Tory ways of thinking.

He lives in Blackheath just a few miles away from where I live in Eltham. He thinks a house which is valued at two million pounds is nothing, doesn’t make him stonkingly rich, why anyone could own the same. Tory, Tory, Tory – in heart and mind – Tory. His house is valued at six times the value of the three bedroomed house I live in. But with his Tory mind and Tory heart and Tory way of viewing things he’s hardly even aware of the plebs all around him, no, he thinks his super-rich property is the norm because only stonkingly rich people like him really count. Tory, Tory, Tory, he is a Tory through and through.

So he's not even bothering to hide the fact that he equates the unemployed with 'low level criminals' - doesn't mind his slip showing at all - after all it's a Toryan slip. Many of them think that but are too careful to say it ... he just blasts it out.

Thanks for the link. I'm not clear how any of the pointlessness of this latest PMQs was in any way Ed Miliband's fault, although the article suggests, or more than suggests, that the guilt be shared between Ed Miliband and the person we laughingly call Prime Minister.

For sure, I bet he's rubbing his hands in glee. And rolling up his shirt sleeves.

Nicky Morgan, has been ordered by MPs to write to the chief inspector of schools after she publicly contradicted him over the watchdog’s powers to inspect academy chains. As Sally Weale reports, Morgan came under fire over the government’s academies and free schools programme when she appeared before the House of Commons education select committee. She refused to back down from a direct clash with Sir Michael Wilshaw’s position, leaving baffled committee members to choose who to believe.

How the hell can she not stand down now? Committee not satisfied with her answers - more details emerged since she went before them. Survivors definitely not satisfied - nor anyone else not in thrall to the Establishment. A legal challenge underway. And long delays already experienced - and more to come doubtless - because of her other commitments and all this stuff going on now....

Get someone else in NOW. Someone with no connections to the Establishment. Someone with experience of abuse cases.

If nothing else - being assured by Cameron that she has his full confidence should be enough to immediately disqualify her from the position.

I said before, funny how Cameron wanted a no nonsense American to sort out the blacks in London, but doesn't want one to look into allegations against the establishment.

The Welsh Government has to threaten its own inquiry into North Wales.
