		<description>Macchillieconcarnie

Apropos Teeth, Wailng and the Gnashing of, are you familiar with this old joke?

Father O&#039;Feckwit addresses his trembling, fearful and extremely elderly congregation at Sunday mass:

Fr O&#039;Feckwit: ..AND I TELL YOU THEY SHALL BE CAST OUT INTO THE OUTER DARKNESS WHERE THERE SHALL BE WAILING AND GNASHING OF TEETH!

Aged Congregation (gums all a-flap): No Teef!  No Teef!

Fr O&#039;Feckwit: TEETH WILL BE PROVOIDED!!

		<description>To revert to the original smoke theme: Is the old adage true that &quot; There is no smoke without fire?&quot;
I read today, one day after we assumed the Presidency of the EU, that no less a person than Jack Straw, has declared the Federal State of Europe DEAD. If Federation , as we were so often told, was never on the cards, how can such a non- existent thing die?
Will the funeral take place with wailing and gnashing of teeth? Will the assembled -mourners be led by the French contingent, baskets of strawberries in hand?
Les poubelles de mon esprit.
----------------------------
Is the crop of farming money, sown when France was in the lead,
Still ripe for Gallic harvesting; or will it go to seed.
It was fertilised by manure, which France supplied en gros,
Now contrary Frenchman; how does your garden grow?

Mister President ,
Sir, Britain trusts that you intend to continue to make the point about the inequability  of balance of payments made by Britain, against amounts received. Can you confirm your resolve in the matter of our rebate?
How can Chirac and cronies, with typical French verbiferocity,(now that IS a new word) claim rural poverty for the limousine driving &#039;fermiers&#039;, whilst arguing that Britain should still pay for wastage due to their inefficient farming methods?
Should we pay for the cruelty involved in producing the tonnes of paté de fois gras, and the inhumane rearing of calves for veal, not to mention the cruel  transporting of live horses across the channel?

		<description>Cigarette as torch of liberty - interesting idea...

It&#039;s a disgusting habit but not quite as disgusting as making a bonfire of our freedoms.

But it&#039;s probably the wrong ground to make a last Custer-style stand on. ID cards are probably a better strategic bet. Smoking  - like fox hunting - just offers too many weak points to the enemies of liberty. BUt I suppose Boris has to do his job and fight the good fight every time.
