    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

        Carefull, TLG hangs out up that way. Watch your back!

        Grandmother-in-law lives over the water at Knott End, and yes it is very bleak up there at this time of year.

          Nothing makes Slough look good
          The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

          But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

            People are always banging on about Slough.

            While it might not be the most salubrious town in England, it is certainly a lot better than many comparably-sized towns in the West Midlands, Lancs, Yorks, Essex etc.

            Slough gets a bad rap. It's all that Betcheman bloke's fault.

            It's not as though Harlow or Huddersfield has Windsor Great Park next door to it.

            You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

              To be honest I've not recently been oop north to compare anything there, but once every 4-6wks I'm forced to spend an hour in Slough town centre and it really is as bad as the reputation it has built up. When HMV and WH Smith are the redeeming factors you know there's an issue...

                Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                  Yes I though that too.

                  Anyone know why he used the moniker 'Fleetwood'?

                  He liked to throw in a bit of French as well, just to be poncey.

                    Wasn't it because he owned a Cadillac Fleetwood?
