Ed a tad dull. The average might have worked better.<br /><br />Congratulations on your growing political perceptiveness, which we observe in your posts and broadcasts every day.<br /><br />Now what was it you were saying about.......<i>long list of lost causes (e.g.David Davis), illogical emotional attachments (West Ham), false starts (attempts at MP), longforgotten dreams (too many to mention), a tendency to defend your friends even when they are plainly in the wrong (Conway) etc etc etc.</i> <br /><br />It's Dale's humanity that keeps em all listening and engaged, his not being too slick and swanky, or being seen as the Delphic oracle.
