    And if my grandfather had wheels, he'd be a wheelbarrow, as we say in the old country.

    Or, to put it another way: just think of what the split would have been if Obama had been the candidate for the Left!

    McCarten today on the Herald seems to think that the left-leaning council (which he accounts for much in the way one would a Parliament) will form a block behind the Mayor and bugger everybody else. I'd rather hope it will work like you and Craig are suggesting, Julie, much as I realise it's closer to a corporate than a liberal political model.

    Oh, I'm with the OED, it's just that there's always some cretin who gets up in arms. I shall proceed to drink to their unexpected absence in this case. (It must be that one in ten chance.)

    Decimated is the only word for it.

    Patiently awaits the onslaught of pendantry.

    Craig, I still think you're comparing apples and pears.

    See I never understood this. What's so difficult about comparing apples and pears? Pears are awful. I'd much rather have an apple. There. Done.
