Mille-brand) was attempting to foist on us via his Pete Doherty tribute website. They were amongst the many helpful suggestions provided by an adoring public as a way of helping the young lad through his environmental crises. As to his political crises, well one can only hope he can spend the next few years pining in a think thank until his voice breaks and he can come up with some more brilliant gems of meaninglessly and ineffective intrusive government.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1157499219906088322006-09-06T00:33:00.000+01:002006-09-06T00:33:00.000+01:00What are the Owl Magnets ?

So you have to ask. WHY IS HE STILL LEADER with no intention of going anywhere until he wants to?<BR/><BR/>Talk is cheap, and women can always change their minds, due to unforeseen circumstances, so why not our Tone? Whatever he states now, however many times he states it. <BR/><BR/>Dictators do not just disappear they get hung up by their feet, get burnt in a shallow trench, or go forward to more powerfull and more interesting projects.<BR/><BR/>Maybe we could elect him GOD of the universe, this may tempt him, to sod-off somewhere a long way away at least.
