Started watching 'Jaws: the Revenge'. There's already a ghastly small child whom I hope will be used as shark-bait.

Call me pedantic if you will, but Sinn Féin and 'Westminster party' have no business being in the same sentence.

Skipton & Ripon is a big chunk of Northern England, mostly populated (present company excepted) by sheep of one form or another.

Frankly, if I were the landlord of a halfway decent pub, I would bar those four at first sight

It's a lovely day in Yorkshire. Think of it as levelling up.

Let's hope it is, and not au revoir. Political equivalent of a wooden stake and mallet urgently required.

Yeah, you're right of course. I'm hoping it's a bubble that will deflate as people realise they've been had by the spiv Farage.

Nah, look at the blithering plonkers they put up as candidates. The idea of that lot functioning as a Parliamentary party is somewhat risible.

Just feeding my son, who has been staffing a polling station all day, and watching lovely Dr Fry on C4. Unlikely to last beyond midnight.

I used straw the last couple of years and had mould and vine weevil. This year, one bed thickly mulched, the other planted through black porous fleece. Plants and crop much improved.

A better strategy might be an early night, then up around 4am when lots of results are coming in? Not that I have any such intentions.....!
