    Indeed.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Guido Faulkes is suggesting the election could be soon. Next month.

    He is also an ass... And in lock step with the Tories, so he is probably floating that for their benefit. The election is going to be when everyone expects it to be, there is no benefit for Brown in bringing it forward now, with the polls narrowing more and more everyday - unless he feels we will go back into negative economic growth and after today's figures it does not look like that will happen. The Tories are doing what they have done over the last 13 years, panic.
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    Doesn't give me time to overseas register. Not that I was going to anyway. I'd rather eat sandpaper than vote either Tory or Labour. And the Lib Dems are like 'Magical Floating Candy-dispensing Models', a nice idea, but not really feasible.
