I can see why you hate Tories, all those modern buildings that Thatcher ruined, all those sheep without mint sauce and of course all those coal mines closed by greedy 'socialist' miners.

I don't think I have heard such a bundle of crapola since John Reid's description of our mission in Afghanistan.

And paying them bugger all to lay down their lives for us.Vlad the Impalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16814170270283757529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1159267749219877922006-09-26T11:49:00.000+01:002006-09-26T11:49:00.000+01:00Sehr geEhrte IainIsn't Des's DES a breach of Educa...Sehr geEhrte Iain<BR/><BR/>Isn't Des's DES a breach of Education's DES trade mark !!!<BR/><BR/><BR/>How Bureaucrat's love changing Departmental Initials, presumably costing tasxpayers millions with every change<BR/><BR/>eg the Education Department<BR/><BR/>DES = Dept of Education & Science<BR/><BR/>DFE = Dept for Education<BR/><BR/>DFEE = Dept for Education & Employment<BR/><BR/>DES = Dept for Education & Skills<BR/><BR/>Your obedeint srvant etc<BR/><BR/>G EagleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1159266404798222002006-09-26T11:26:00.000+01:002006-09-26T11:26:00.000+01:00Another Desmal idea!Another Desmal idea!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1159266127088812462006-09-26T11:22:00.000+01:002006-09-26T11:22:00.000+01:00Hi Iain.
