Deathray

Joe Hains was also pretty honest about his opinion of Tony Benn on BBC News yesterday lunch-time by calling him a "constant problem", I think it's more a case that old-school politicos are less privy to falling into the "I disagreed with his opinion but he was a remarkable man" bollocks and more tell it like it is types.

Awarded.

Well done to Die,Commie, Die who hit a unique pick with Bob Crow!

Is this Hermione Cock? Pro-tip: don't google her name at work unless you want a lot of "alternative" Harry Potter fanfic. "The Burning Pen" one is mildly interesting..

Well this is getting tedious... I'll watch from the sidelines as we slowly drift towards no-one can win point (24th September).

So we have less than 5 hours until the apocalypse of Ukraine. I wonder what Putin's next move is?

Russia have basically vowed to occupy Crimea. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-26414600

Living Prime Ministers John Major, (29 March 1943) Tony Blair (6 May 1953) Gordon Brown (20 February 1951) David Cameron (9 October 1966) Living Prime Ministers Spouses Clarissa Eden (nee Spencer-Churchill) (28 June 1920) Mary Wilson (nee Baldwin) (12 January 1916) Norma Major (nee Johnson) (12 February 1942) Cherie Blair (nee Booth) (23 September 1954) Sarah Jane Brown (nee Macauly) (31 October 1963)

You're probably right, it looks like William Hague is being manoeuvred into scapegoat position when this all blows up!

Full military mobilisation. Fuck me this is getting more serious by the hour http://www.bbc.co.uk...europe-26405635 Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! Do you think it'd be a good idea to move this discussion into a new Ukraine thread in DL Extra-Curricullur?

At the end of the day the Ukranian rebels don't have the support of the vast majority of Ukranians. It's a bit like a slightly more fascist UKIP holding a giant protest and then declaring themselves rulers here. Russia is simply aiming to protect it's own people and I'll be there to protest any UK military involvement.

You can't that's your membergroup based on post-count.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarissa_Eden,_Countess_of_Avon#Eden.27s_retirement_and_death Anthony Eden's wife. She's lived an incredible 56 years after his resignation. Although the 23 year age gap has probably helped.

When does a person reach the point at which they are no longer to young to die or not very old or whatever? Does it depend on the person?

Survived a concentration camp by playing the piano. So, tunes do help you breathe more easily, then. Oh, my coat! No, keep the coat off that was good. If anything, take something off you sexy.... er....... nevermind. Eh what? I suppose at least if your being slightly rapey your not being grumpy!

TEAM CHANGE: In light of the fact Wg Commander Brian Liversidge died in October of 2013 before the competition opened mpfc will have him replaced with her only sub Olivia de Havilland.
