I didn't expect such lavish praise..... Rolling Eyes

It kind of works if you know the original song. :wink:

I'm trying to get myself a small car at the moment, it's not as easy as it seems. Any tips? My budget is about £1,000. Tried Autotrader but all the ones I rang had already been sold. Local paper was no use.

Why? Is there something interesting going on.

Delia looked like a drunken slapper when she said that and a million miles from that sweet lady who had a lovely manner with a fried egg and we all wanted to marry. Just shows what fame and success can do without strong handling.

Well sorry to bother you, Spendi old bean.

Among other things, I just thought maybe the break-up and partition of the former India in 1947, with civilian deaths running into seven figures, might be worth a word or two.

I think her holiness had enjoyed the boundless hospitality of (Old Trafford?) and let herself go a little, for once not having had to cook lunch.
It's a long drive from Norwich, and she must have arrived quite parched, poor dear.

House of Lords.

What opinion does the common man have on the proposed changes.

I incline to the view, though not with any extravagent pertinacity, that I would rather be governed by a bunch of dissipated old libertines who have been round the block a few times on Daddy's money than this crowd of Marks and Spencers suited puritannical busybodies any day of the week. Efficiency, drive and competence are okay in small doses. Such virtues very quickly lose sight of the main objective which is, of course, general happiness.

The Marquis de Sade claimed, quite rightly I think, that anyone who ambitiously seeks power over others is evil per se.

Leaving India to shift for itself was merely correcting the error of having entered it in the first place.
