Yes, she started it I believe.

A late good morning today.
I haven't done much at all yet, other than had some beans on toast,  fed the dogs,  and got the washing pegged out,  and now I am off to Pets @ Home  for a couple of things.

Yeah,  but does she sing to you when you come in to an empty house?
And does she read amusing letters from listeners, or read you a nice story?  

At least with a radio you can choose what station you want, and don't have to keep prompting it to bring it to life.

I think if Burnham doesn't win Makerfield Starmer probably will hang on. Let's face it the party is hardly overflowing with talent. Not that Starmer has any either but he has got the job and was leader when they were gifted power by the Tory's failings.

He could hang on even if Burnham does win but it's unlikely as virtually no other Labour candidate could take a seat now and the party will see him as a possible lifeline. I don't. They are doomed now whatever barring a massive war when elections wouldn't be held.

Old pictures of me make me feel a bit sad. Where did all those years go? Who is that old codger that watches me brush my teeth or trim my beard>

Excellent idea.  I'll have to find out where my local RC church is, just in case.

Ed's wife was seriously unimpressed
As she surveyed the room, what a mess
Glue on the dog and all around
Some of the paper was upside down
No more papering - too much stress

The next room would just be paint
He hadn't the patience of a saint

Burnham makes it clear that he wants to be PM .
Starmer can be unseated ( I presume) by his own party .
