The Labour Party should avoid all usage of Twitter.
I am sure you have all heard of that repulsive woman Diane Abbott’s little faux pas on Twitter by now. You know, the ones about White Folk liking to Divide and Rule and also the one about Black Cab (ironic or what?) drivers not stopping for black people hailing them.
Now Ed Milliband has had an even bigger cock-up on Twitter. In commenting on the sad reports of the death of Bob Holness of Blockbusters fame, he tweeted thus:
He is now trending on Twitter under the hashtag #edmillibandgameshows, where tweeters are invited to come up with suitable game show titles that he could sponsor. It is worth a look if you want a laugh!

Hung Chow calls his work and says, ‘Hey, I no come wok today, I really sick .

You were worried that Graeme Smith had declared too soon, and I was equally worried about Michael Clarke’s decision – even more so when Tendulka and Laxman had taken the Indians over halfway in the run chase for the loss of only three wickets.
But I was wrong, and following Clarke’s astonishing/well-deserved/fluky dismissal of the Little Master and Hilfenhaus’ elimination of Laxman, I felt I could relax a bit.  The Indian tail wagged far too well by putting on another 120 or so, but we were still 68 ahead when the tenth wicket fell.  Plus an innings, and a day to play it in, of course.
Looks like your guys are well on track to deliver your own innings win on day four, so Graeme turns out to be as astute as Michael – and we armchair tragics should have confidence and STFU!! 😆
A friend of mine just started his own business in Afghanistan.
He’s making land mines that look like prayer mats.
He is doing very well, and says prophets are going through the roof.
To celebrate the Duchess’s return to the Girl Guides as a volunteer, here’s a little nostalgia…..
I have a chance for you to put your knowledge to use instead of beating each other over the head about who did or did not conjugate the verb to go.
No2 daughter is after a latin translation of the following:
“Movement, health, performance, balance and therapy”
Lets see what you hed-ju-kated beggars can do with that.
As an aside, I learned today that there is no provision in latin for ‘yes’ or ‘no’. Go figure.
