Joanna Lumley says what??
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 -

It's "Ayo Gorkhali" which is the Gurka battle cry.
Rather unfortunately it means nothing more than "The Gurkas are Coming!"
although I doubt anyone stops to think about it when the guy yelling it is charging at you with an SA80 in one hand and a bloody great knife in the other."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

Why should she ?
She is fighting for something she believes in. Too many people in this country are happy just to have a bit of a rant of forums like this about all that is wrong in this country, but too lazy or apathetic to do anything of real value. It's goning to take someone like Joanna Lumley to make parliament see thay have done something wrong over the expenses troughing. They'll all be back in the trough in a few months when all this has blown over.Comment

I just find her incredibly annoying and she's turned someone (me) who's generally pro immigration, and all for peoples rights against the poor old buggers.
Though I do think this should be applied throughout the board - any foreigner fighting in our forces should get the same rights...
On the expenses thing I don't think we need Joanna Lumley somehow, there's comprehensive & widespread anger and MP's know they're in trouble. I'm just waiting for the cops to get involved, or I will start complaining.Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith
