I set my Mum up an email address for things a few years ago. She still tells people it's "at lookout.com", which isn't the least apt think ever.

Plus, now members choose leaders, actually having been a competent minister isn't close to being a major consideration in who leads parties anymore. For example it was daft that the Tories didn't go "hang on Michael Gove cleaned up Grayling's Justice mess, did well in Environment and Education..."

I pass it often, and I can't imagine anywhere I'd like to walk in less. I've spent my whole life being mortified at the thought of being caught leering at a stranger's cleavage. I think I'd spend the whole time in there alternating between staring at my feet and the ceiling.

If people have issues they're concerned about, the correct thing is for the government to address those issues in line with their values, not decide people are wrong to be concerned about those things. That way leads to them being addressed by those that might not give a damn for your values.

I agree, but all too often what people mean by "identify what the actual problems are" is "address what *I* I care about, ignore what *they* care about". Politicians don't get to tell the electorate what their concerns are.

No I didn't, but if that's what you need to believe to make yourself feel better, good luck to you

An vision of real mountain projected on an artificial cliff. A wall papered by computer wallpaper. Windows being a window to a more beautiful world, literally shining on the one we've replaced it with. So many depths.

People who got paid before the match to explain why a team couldn't lose, then get paid after to explain why they did.

I'm not going to lie, we owe you one. If you're ever in the vicinity of Sherwood Forest I'll buy you a pint of thanks.

Seriously, no one loves football more than me, but can you imagine them telling us to get to the City Ground an hour early to watch some fellas in the centre circle explain what we're about to watch, and stick around for an hour after so they can go over what we've just seen?
