What a cracker!! You are all to be congratulated on your enthusiasm to be able to have such amazing photographs taken. You make an old fart very happy. chris

There is an interesting analysis of "the social media effect" on the BBC. It seems that Labour and the Lib-Dems outspent the Tories on targeted advertising. The Tories spent less but used banner ads. The analysis also threw a lot of mud at Twitter. Well worth a read... Me, I don't use Facebook or Twitter. Both my friends have my phone number and know where I live...

We used to sing: The working class can kiss my , I've got the Foremans job at last!"

Sterling jumped up straight away, which is good news. Trump has come on saying he will give the UK a great trade deal. The EU leaders were indicating they prefered a Boris win if only so that they had certainty, well they have definately got that and then some. Maybe a bit more than they wanted, he can now play a bit more hard ball with them. It's going to be interesting to see what happens. Of course we have never seen Boris actually lead, now is his chance, let's hope he does a good job.

The problem with the NHS as far as the politics go is this: No politician, of any party, in any constituency will cost themselves any votes by saying the NHS is underfunded. Its a no lose for those who want to try to use it as a lever to unseat an opponent and it's a no win for any sitting PM and Chancellor. We could double the funding. Triple it even. There will still be criticism that is it underfunded.

Out at a very chilly Blyton Park, 30th Nov 🥶

Blatters, as Jeremy Clarkson said "I told my daughter that and she immediately went online and told 600 of her very closest friends' 😃

Ah Paul, that's the shop floor Variation - Opus 69 😏 Actually, the father of a girlfriend of mine in the 1960s was shop steward for some years until he was promoted to foreman via charge hand. This was his plan all along - be a pain in the backside until you get taken off the floor by being promoted. A lifelong Conservative voter he was. Ultimately he was caught in flagrante delicto with the night nurse on the couch in the works surgery while on the night shift. She was sacked, but he wasn't. Equality? What equality? Quite a character he was - and his daughter shared his over-active libido. This, as she was only fourteen at the time, was quite frustrating. 😇

There's even more pics for viewing here:

Elmo, 4 members of his family and Boris.

I'm sorry about Luciana Berger, she was treated very badly by the Corbyn mob. The rest? The modern expression is 'meh'

I liked the tee shirt which was very Marxist (Groucho, not Karl) "Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend...." "Inside a dog it's too dark to read!"

Good result and no more speeches from Grieve, Soubry, Wollaston, Gyimah, Gauke, Chuka and Bercow. Well done Boris, took a big risk, a true leader. Once again the cleverest man in the room is underestimated. JC will be pleased, he can go back to protest groups.

Yey, Conservative just past the 326 winning line. Go Boris. 👍👍👍👍

Exit polls suggest a big win for the Tories. Sky News coverage is terrible, the Beebs is only slightly better and Andrew Neill is already annoying me... Was it a Brexit Election (as suggested by Sky's programme banner)? If it was then Labour and the Lib-Dems badly mis-judged the feeling of the country on Brexit. If the margin is as predicted then Brexit is unequivocally the will of the people IF we believe this is a Brexit Election. If it wasn't about Brexit then I think Corbyn's spending plans were seen through by large numbers of the population and for the reasons mentioned above. His spending and nationalisation plans were just bonkers. I'm sure his neutral stance on Brexit didn't help and whilst the Lib-Dems are predicted to pick up one seat Swinsons arguments have been proved to be largely irrelevant, as are the Lib-Dems.

This can still be purchased

I voted for Tarquin Fin-tim-lin-bin-whin-bim-lim-bus-stop-F'tang-F'tang-Olé-Biscuitbarrel because Screaming Lord Sutch has died... 😯

You spoiled the voting paper by going outside the line

You have a pm

Got snapped on the way out of Donington by 24Seven photography, think I'll order a print

Haynes Breakfast Club on Sunday - very 🥶

I assume you just mean the gear stick that pushs onto the frame and gear stick stub on the gearbox ... not the whole frame plus the gear stick I have both .. I bought the gear stick off ebay to make a new gear lever but never used it. Ì will find it today and post a picture.
