Just to let you know, that campaign, mentioned above, is now successful.
Type “f**kwit” (with the stars removed and replaced, of course) into google and hit the “I feel lucky” button.

Would it not be easier just to house people inside John Prescott?

Michael – thought that might happen. Alright. I made a sweeping statement about Mozart for which I apologise. I wasn’t speaking from a position of knowledge. But I do know about Shakespeare and he quite emphatically wrote for everyone who would listen and was enjoyed by every social group. Ditto Dickens, while we’re at it.

As for ‘basing it on the worth of the output’, exactly what measure are you using to make that rather lofty judgement?

Thank you as always for your encouragement!

“But as for John Prescott and housing. When ever I hear these two words in conjuction I always become seem to think of Play School: ‘ And so childern which window are we going to throw the Dep PM out of today.’ You might need a crane for this though.”

Or a trebuchet.

> Michael – I should be careful with your prejudices if I were you. Mozart and Shakespeare were low culture once.

If you believe that you’ll believe anything.

> And don’t go comparing Purcell to Lennon and Macartney unless you know what the comparison’s based on.

I was basing it on the worth of the output.
