The body cannot store Vitamin C. If you have a high dose you pee orange!

That's what's I meant by 'water soluble' what we don't need, or store, we pee out.

It is what I understood you to mean, Sir. :-)

Whilst this thread is still live, I hope it is acceptable to address a comment to Chris S? It cannot be made in its original setting, for eminently understandable reasons.

Did you miss a mathematics lesson somewhere, Sir? 25 percent is by no means all. It is one-quarter. :-)

Now then Sir Rodney, that if

Now then Sir Rodney, that if I might make so bold, was a tad off the nominal trajectory for a shot across the bows. Starboard lookout says it was last seen going in a declining angle off the Azores.

All in that context meant sufficient numbers didn't vote Labour or Lib Dem, because of the excellent Tory Scare tactics. And in any case the post that you referred to was about the Royal family. Nyah :-))

Port indicated the shot was not wasted, Sir. :-) For have we not, between us, established the heartening news that a mere minority percentage of your electorate are poltroons, rather than all? ;-))

Would that be the 3rd glass of wine or the myopic lookout? :-D

Doorstep knocking until late on the Wednesday night showed reasonably clearly that in our area at least, the country was willing to have another coalition government. Similar reports came in from elsewhere. But by the Thursday morning the die was irreparably cast, and nothing could have changed it. The nation had slept on it, and decided that they didn't want to take the risk of a Labour party in charge, bankrolled by the Trade Unions, and propped up by the SNP. Therefore they panicked like headless chickens, and voted Tory in droves, giving Cameron a majority government.

Many polls and investigations have been carried out since, and the feed back is that as was expected, people basically wanted the status quo to continue. Nobody trusts a majority Tory or Labour government to run this country, what they did accept was a compromise where the Lib Dems acted like a parliamentary policeman, curbing the worst excesses of both parties.

There is a mood of throwing out the baby with the bath water, but we are stuck with it for 5 years. Watch the by-elections though for a change of heart.

'poltroons' ? That's a sort

'poltroons' ? That's a sort of chicken biscuit isn't it ? Oh, I mean macaroons. Ooops I meant Buffoons - the shiny ones. :-)))

( edit ) As for discussing politics per se here : if allowed at all it would be subject to the usual forum rules regarding posts plus some topics will always be out of range in any event. But be aware that is a restrictive, not permissive, definition so no right(s) ought be deduced from that. As usual unilateral moderation without discussion or explanation may occur.

Be nice. Be polite. Casual and friendly is the desired tone. No firebrand ad-vocation.

There is no quicker way to end a sales pitch, Sir, than to inform the salesman that you have already purchased their product ;-)

!00% correct Sir :-)

But the other way is to inform the JW's that you haven't purchased their product, and have no intention of doing so, so would they kindly vacate the immediate vicinity of your door step. PISS OFF !!

But of course seasoned political campaigners and doorstep "knockers up" know when they are being fed a line. Yeah we vote for you, goodnight. Marks on sheet "soft Tory, worth knocking again".

Unfortunately, that logic doesn't work on the cookies on your computer that track what you've been looking at. They keep suggesting things even after you've bought them.
