Sweet Caroline

Hard-faced rightwing, selfish careerist and mediocre minister Caroline Flint has stabbed Brown in the back, leaving the cabinet in a huff because she didn't get a promotion. In her resignation letter she tells GB 'You treated me as window dressing'. It's true that Brown et al. are a lads' club, but let's remind ourselves of Ms. Flint's recent media appearances: a multipage fashion shoot in Observer Woman while declaring that she didn't want to be judged by her appearance.

Will the reshuffle save the party (and therefore the country)? No. Same useless, failed faces, plus Alan Bloody Sugar (after Brown declared the end of Blair's celebrity-run regime).

Meanwhile in St. Ives, the Labour Candidates finished significantly behind Lord Toby Jug of the Monster Raving Loony Party.

What does ftw mean? I recognise your point of view of course…

I'm blogging because I've paid £10 for wireless in this posh hotel and I'm going to use it well! (And this two-day meeting is a little dry as well as familiar from the same course last year.

ftw = for the win.

It's some kind of nonsensical internet expression the kids use.

Thanks. You may have notice that the kids and I are hardly on speaking terms, cool-wise. Ya get me?

Judging by that "Ya get me?" yes, I do.

I knew you'd appreciate my grasp of the demotic.
