I like travel when I can, day outs in nature, Photography, film, eating out or good food; I am looking to have more leisure pursuits, say, see the Elgin Marbles before they go to Greece. I like reading all sorts.
SOON THEY'LL BE CALLING THE SHOW STRICTLY GO DANCING!

Oh wait, didn't Lewis & Katya get caught in an offstage
kiss? Maybe the judges, mindful of previous scandals
bringing the tone of the show down, thought they'd
scotch this developing. You can't blame them, especially if
either was married.

Yes! The star performer of the series has been sacrificed on the altar, to alter the balance of this year's finalists.
His West Side Story dance took immense muscular skill
to pull off, yet the judges found fault: " not your best dance". He was better than many previous finalists. I wonder why?

What I like about Zarah: she's honest, direct, has charm,
reaches out, and is like a breath of fresh air: she follows Liverpool, and alluding to her shaky start in Your party,
compares herself,as a fellow Muslim to Mo Salah, who hasn't got off to a good start this season. She's appearing on various

& the Russians( who he wants to do business with). The negotiators aren't in the business of peace deals, but a share of the cake, real estate, or even a Nobel Prize. The recent lifting of the 2Child Benefit Cap, was perceived as more of a defeat by the govt, a desire to kneel to backbenchers.

maybe the two big parties like Labour & Tory, could learn a thing or two about, communicating their vision, their policies. I'm not sure yet whether I buy Sultana's reasons and whether MP's will be allowed to communicate Your Party's policies, ideas, under a collective leadership. No leaders?

Makes you wonder how is it one of the builders had my roof tile in his hand? Why wasn't it on my roof? How did it get in his hand? What interest did he have in my roof? What knowledge had he of my roof? He even went up his tall ladder , took a picture of the missing slate, & returned with the image

of their curiosity, as they worked out what I was worth, whether they could take me for a ride in my naivety. Two men firing questions at me, speaking broken, half-understood English,
watching my baffled reactions as I weighed them up and found
a dead reckoning; me, closing them down, kicking back.

I was the punter, ignorant people could be so brazen. Putting me out to be rigged like cattle are ringed. My goodwill nearly gave in, but I held out, saying I'm not accusing them, but saying this sort of thing has never happened before: I was the young cow being watched as it ran in the cattle pen.

I had just made coffee and was annoyed my fresh coffee was getting cold, while the builders had me out on the street
looking up at the roof shivering and appearing confused
as to why 2 men were trying to make a fast Xmas buck
out of me. They both fired indignant shots at me for being so un
grateful.

the older one said he could point all my roof for £1250. I said no, I don't want it done. I said I feel this was a ruse, his knock on my door like a loan-shark coming for his money. I said builders have all the knowledge and think punters are all stupid: I said the whole moment seemed like a set-up

It was strange how asylum seekers who'd come by small boat were planted in the audience, and the way Bruce manipulated them to get reaction, like Live TV: this is shoddy journalism, as the guests were only apprised of situation 5 minutes before. Did one have ear-piece too? Bruce has brought sow low

question on Farage's racism when he was at Dulwich College, anti-Semitism, when Corbyn was pretty much snowed under by this subject as leader of Labour; no such questioning of Farage's fitness for high office. 'Move on', old subject brought up by Mike Crick in 2013. Farage PM?

As ex-NATO chief said, quoting The Romans: if you want peace, be prepared for war.

He's the only pundit that quietens Peston, who gazes on admiringly, while the great man works things out in his head. His eyes light up as he calculates; he has a stimulating, old -fashioned, non-digital approach to reality. If only we could all follow him! When analogue is best.

This applies to doing away with Trial by Jury, both in the PM's words in 1992, and David Lammy's past statements, for Trial by Jury, when they discussed how important TBJ was.
