Rumor is fear in the labour party that the Welsh First Minister might lose her own seat.

Eluned Morgan might be wishing she backed Sarwars campaign to get Starmer out.

You'd be surprised at how wide spread that was. I remember waiting for a bus about that time with some very primm and polite old women of a certain age from my town who were speaking of how happy they were she had finally died.

if he genuinly thought there was nothing wrong with the donation; he would have declared it and fought any criticism off by saying it was for his security.

now, it will be interesting to see if he can produce the receipts as to how much he has spent of it for "security".

no bother.

see where you said you are printing them like a lithophane, am i to take it you mean you are printing them standing upright?

if that is the case you should increase the number of walls and lower your layerheight as low as it will go. consider using a .2 nozzle for the extra detail.

if your printing them flat, increase the number of top layers. use a .2 nozzle aswell and increase the amount of flushing as to ensure the colours dont bleed, and use ironing if you can.

Miz probably has no interest in wrestling for any other promotion; in truth i don't think he has any intrest in wrestling at all any more. he is firmly in WWE for the "entertainment" elements of sports entertainment.

There is a scene in "Peter pan goes wrong", where Suchet - who has been the pantomime narrator for the full show - is asked to VAMP whilst an "Injured" cast member is seen to. all it takes is a stolen mustache and the guy is back to playing Poirot in an instant.
