Trident nuclear deterrance? Did we jump back to the 1980s and the cold war? How is that still a not negotiable priority for anyone?
It does seem to be a little more nuanced than that. From The Guardian's live blog:
A commitment to maintaining Britain's nuclear deterrent. Renewal of Trident will be scrutinised to ensure value for money. Liberal Democrats will be free to continue the case for alternatives.
So there is a commitment to the nuclear deterrent, but not necessarily Trident.
How that will work in practice, and whether a deterrent is needed at all, is a debate for another day.

Surely chaps with arses are simply trousers
A tautology? I suppose it depends how tight they are. :)

Isn't it traditional for new presidents in the US to walk the last mile or so the the White House?
I vaguely remember seeing something about how Bush was unable to do so because of the rain of eggs landing on his limousine in Jan 2001.

D'you have sisters, Rich?
One. Who is as tall as me (6'2'' in old money), and given that she was a semi-serious prospect for the UK women's rowing team at one point, is also as broad as me across the shoulders.
I'm quite used to having my wardrobe raided (my wife has carried on the grand tradition).
It also meant that I once or twice returned the favour. Nothing too kinky, but she did have a beautiful green silk shirt.
Hey, it's society's problem, not mine. :)
BTW, why do you ask? An introduction might be a little difficult at this distance.

Again from Snowmail:
the likely deal on offer will include a promise to force through parliament by a three-line whip a referendum on introducing the Alternative Vote (AV) system.
It would also ditch any proposal to cut the inheritance tax threshold, and end plans to recognise marriage in the tax system.
The coalition deal could also introduce fixed term parliaments of four or five years, ending the ability of the prime minister to call a snap election.
This all relies on Nick Clegg securing the support of 75 per cent of his MPs and the party executive.

Cliff Curtis?
Hmmm, looking at the photo I could probably add rubber gloves and lubricant to the list above....

the British are a terminally stupid nation much enamoured with their own sense of superiority
<gasp!> It's like looking in a mirror!
Oh, how will I cope with the painful truth? Hmmm, this overinflated sense of superiority should help.

Did I wear stripped shirts?
Stripped shirts? Are those the ones with the poppers up the front so at an appropriate point in your routine you can brrrrrp! them open?
I was once confused to find a man's Perth police shirt in my brother's wardrobe. I still can't really fathom how that happened.
Did it fit you ok? Clearly the only reason you'd be poking around your brothers wardrobe is looking for clothes to steal.
I'm also spotting a possible connection here between this and stripped shirts....
Anyhoo, staying on the fireman/policeman/stripper theme. Why do no male strippers have any love for the paramedic?
Is that a shade of kink too far? I reckon there's some interesting posibilities. Oxygen mask, kiss of life, a bulging sack full of interesting stimulatory chemicals?
No? Just me?

Hose a pretty boy then?
I'm going to have to yellow card you, Ian*.
Second use of a 'hose' pun in one day.
*Well, I would if there were formal rules about this sort of thing.

hand out guides to being an object of mirth as opposed to being an object of desire.
I thought the ladies liked a man who could make them laugh?

I'm doing this all wrong, aren't I?
