June, I share so many of your views about politics but I have to disagree with 2 things you say:

1. Please don't deprive me of the term "feck". It's a brilliant way of filling a gap between drat and fuck, where appropriate, and the Irish should be proud to have given it to the world.

2. Our vote is all we have but I can't bring myself to provide a vote to a party that isn't willing to join with others to oppose what we both view as a disaster. If/when it does, great, but unless it does our votes aren't going to be "all we have" they're nothing.

I first voted Labour at the age of 7 (honestly!) and ever since but I've just become a paid up Lib Dem.

Hi Nigel, I was just being argumentative as you know I must sometimes. Its a personal thing, I try to not use the word fuck too often - inelegant at my age. It does slip out occasionally though.

I accept your Point 2, as I always do listen to what you have to say. Labour for me though, with all its flaws and media assassination - that is where my vote is going.

Logging off now - carpe diem, as someone, somewhere else said.
