		<description>Jaq: I fear you are misunderstanding what i did and didn&#039;t say...

1. I NEVER said you ignored anyone at Westminster. I doubt very much that the staff that I met were very different from the staff that YOU met, and my comment was based on MY encounters.

2. I never said you read the daily nazi...although i admit i likened some of what you said to the propoganda spouted by this rag. I was just adding some thinking points to your comments.

3. I had hoped that the inclusion of some &quot;smilies&quot; might have indicated my light heartedness. I&#039;m ever so sorry you seem have taken offense!

4. I hope you (and all the contributers to this site) have a VERY happy midwinter festival!

5. And a happy new year.

6. :o)   &lt;--(a smiley face)

7. ;o)   &lt;--(a friendly wink)

8. ???   &lt;--(couldn&#039;t think how to indicate a big hug!)

May you all prosper in health, wealth, and happiness!!

		<description>Mac, sorry to hear you have the snuffles - isn&#039;t that Andrew Marr&#039;s hamster? Well what you do in your own home is entirely up to you but I recommend my mums cold remedy: one mug half full of milk, half brandy and sweetened with either sugar or honey. Warm in the microwave to taste. It doesn&#039;t cure your cold but you really don&#039;t care! Bless you Mac, have a good Christmas if you can. Gesundheit

		<description>Since Jaq mentioned Scrooge and ,”Bah! Humbug!”

Once again it’s bally Christmas; I suppose I should be glad,
That I’ve lived to see another; despite the year I’ve had.
I never understood it when some people cried,” Enough”.
I’m near to understanding now: the going’s getting tough.
Those petty little niggles, which add up to quite a lot,
Enough to make one moan and say,” The World has gone to pot”.
So take your little tangerine, and stuff it full of truffles;
The World is pretty tasteless now: I’ve gone down with the snuffles.

Gesundheit and God bless us ! Everyone.
From Tiny Tim.

		<description>Jack Ramsey you Scrooge you! Hitch has indeed been up to his tricks where I&#039;m concerned and you are SO right in your assesment of him - he&#039;s highlighted my Scrooge tendancies too and as a result we had two days of joyous card making. We had gallons of glitter glue on the furniture, carpet, clothes and very nearly the cat as she alerted me to the fact that the offspring started without me. With order restored (almost) we managed to make something almost legible to send to folks and Hitch is now assured of my mediocrity in the world of arts and crafts. So if you see him Jack I would say give him a big wet xmas kiss from me (remember those?) but I&#039;d rather Boris did that - it would be so refreshing to see a journalist run from an MP for a change! The thought of Boris with arms wide shouting &lt;b&gt;&#039;Hitch, Baby!!&#039;&lt;/b&gt; and a look of complete panic on Hitch&#039;s face will keep me smiling throughout the festivities. (I&#039;m very sad, I know)

I do hope Boris will find time to be with his friends and sing at least &lt;i&gt;one&lt;/i&gt; chorus of &#039;Delilah&#039; and also that the Johnsons get to have at least ONE meal at Rachels that includes passing the gravy boat. Stanley Johnson is, of course, perfect, so what more could he be given than the love of a happy family which I sincerely hope the Johnsons find they are this xmas and throughout the new year.

As for the man with the big gun Jack, and my his equipment was scary, I didn&#039;t realise my every move was being logged to beat me with later. That was one of my perfect happy days. Here I sit in my ivory tower remembering perfect days such as those (sigh) and I see no reason for any detractors to diminish the happy memory of such a perfect day. There&#039;s always one isn&#039;t there?! Well bah humbug Psi - I had a lovely day and will always remember it as such: good company, good food and the majesty of history.

I wish you joy with your family and your tangerine Jack. I&#039;m sure whatever you have will be warmly shared. Have a good one!

		<description>I know I don&#039;t get out as much as I should but what&#039;s all this stuff about Westminster and staff and guns? Has the Hitch been up to his tricks agains? Is there something that Boris hasn&#039;t told us? I&#039;ll horsewhip the bounders!

Happy Christmas! I&#039;m off to buy the ingredients for the gruel on the big day and the cheapest tangerine I can get for the childrens&#039; present.

		<description>&quot;And Jaq...I talked to the staff at Westminster, rather than just ignoring them&quot;

Psi - why do you assume I ignored them? Were you there watching me? Taking pictures perhaps? Making notes? Producing T shirts? Banners? Slogans? &#039;Down with Jaq the minx&#039;? Actually I spent quite a lot of time talking to the staff of Westminster as I was stuck for 20 minutes with a gun in my face with nothing to do BUT talk to them.

And I don&#039;t get my information from The Daily Rag - I do live in the world you know.

And a merry Christmas to you too.

		<description>Interesting article on emigration/immigration here: &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3982217.stm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3982217.stm&lt;/a&gt;

I hope the 100s of 1000s of Brits who leave the UK are made more welcome than we make many of our new arrivals.

Interesting that the largest immigrant population in England was the Irish. Are these the fellows you want thrown out?

Just asking!

		<description>Less a dearth of places, more a dearth of doctors prepared to work for the paltry wages dished  out by the NHS, methinks! But, as no one (myself included!)
is keen on paying more taxes...

On the other hand, it could be because they keep closing all the hospitals!!! (Just give me 5 minutes alone in a room with the ****s that make those decisions!)

I have yet to meet any of this supposed army of mass disease-carrying rapist immigrants. All the ones I have met (and there are, admittedly, lots!) have been polite and hardworking - and look a damn sight healthier than most Brits! Of course, I just go out and talk to people, rather than getting my facts from a newspaper that supported the german Nazi party - so i&#039;m far more likely to be wrong!

And Jaq...I talked to the staff at Westminster, rather than just ignoring them and letting them get on with it (as i was probably supposed to do!). THAT&#039;s how I know! (Or, maybe, I have a trained surveillence newt positioned on the river terrace...)

:o)

		<description>Psi:
I do not understand your implication that the UK produces too few doctors of medicine. ( For example)

There is a small army, consisting of that very category of graduates of our fine medical schools, at present wondering why they are forced to apply for unemployment benefit , due to the dearth of suitable places ( or ideed ANY places)in our hospitals.
