Oh I can well see that. Regaining control of our fishing rights will be sold down the river in exchange for passporting rights for the City of London. This I guarantee. I'd also guess that around 75% of the business rates relief will go to businesses in the South East (as I kinda predicted). -

"We will accept 3000 child refugees" - the public were lied to. "We will not raise National Insurance" - the public were lied to. "We will not deport EU citizens after Brexit" - to be confirmed. -
Only fair to pay tribute to one of the greats. Ritchie Adams has died aged 71. http://blitzmag.blogspot.co.uk/2007/02/bits-and-pieces-news-about-your_3.html Composer of such hits as Bobby Lewis' Tossin' and Turnin', The Marcels' Give Me Back Your Love, and probably most importantly credited for The Tra-La-La Song, which was the theme to the Banana Splits show. He was the original lead singer on The Fireflies 1959 US hit, You Were Mine:

Yep I'll say it. Lord, his stuff looks like meaningless smears made by a four year old at nursery school. But that's art for you. Call me a Philistine...I'm glad to be one.

All good tips for our Betty's portrayal.... Though if Harry were to get the part....I can't tell you how much I would love that.

I was talking about Pip as companion, he he. You know, without going off topic too much, I rather liked all of the classic Doctors. I really hated Eccleston (though the stories were excellent for the most part) and detested Matt Smith (and the stories were vastly rubbish by this point).

Can't say I'm mad keen on the companion....

Wow, that must be an omission surely from the QO's list! I assumed it was good enough in the round up! -
All obits so far are in the current round up on page 32. No point in a new round up if TMIB is updating at the end of the week.

I see. I find the English NHS as baffling as the English schools system, I must say. Bit of a tragedy all round. -

What on earth are the waiting times like that you die in the car park of the place that saves lives? -
It was there previously. I have only used it the once, and continue so to do.

It's another Tues muse from me I'm afraid. Burned vs Burnt. I had a look over the acceptability of this after seeing a trailer for a programme, I forget which one. Now, I would have thought that there are very few (see last muse) situations in which you could use these interchangeably. Apparently I'm wrong according to the Web. I would have always used "burnt" more in the descriptive way, such as "The toast was burnt" i.e. describing something that had been burned, or in a subjective way. "Burned" on the other hand to me means a more active role, such as "She took an axe to his head and burned all his clothes". I am more inclined to use "dreamt" than "dreamed" though, except when singing along to the Les Miserables soundtrack. -
Trump "loves the uneducated" as I recall. But he doesn't give a hoot about the poor. Rich and Uneducated, now we have a winner... May has dumped "just about managing", probably because after nearly 7 years of the Tories running the country, there shouldn't be any. But we all know that's shite too... Budget should be fun...
