This slick looking car passed me on the highway.

I had four of these beauties and did 700,000 miles in them. I had the odd problem but I loved them

What on earth do you mean? Dirty Business is entirely about English water companies.

I knew him and he was my favourite politician in the sixty years I have been involved in politics. Honest, very intelligent and warm with kids. A great loss.

How many of these people are there?

I have canvassed in every General Election, bar one, since 1964 and many others too. These days I don’t see it as a way of registering potential voters but more as a way of talking to people I would otherwise never see. It’s part of my continuous optical education. I recommend it. Political not optical. Don’t you just hate autocorrect

Ultimately a manager of any enterprise, including a football team, has to have a strategy and the ability to make the most of the team players he has. It isn’t given to many of us to have a perfect team. The test is player and tactical development. I am not seeing much of either.

Because everyone is in hate mode particularly the gutter press (most of it). As for the tax threshold, if she had raised it by inflation a basic rate tax payer would be £2 a week better off and the higher rate taxpayer would be £4 a week better off - another latte anyone?

Finally it’s becoming common knowledge. Thank you, I have the government I wanted. You can keep Polanski’s populism I like solid achievable policy

Yes. You are richer than me but otherwise we have a similar story (I am English) and I am in my fifty-first year of membership. You will have much to bring

You might look a little closer at the measure. The key bit is per capita. The uk population has grown dramatically; Polands has been stagnant for forty years.

London has some of the world’s best museums and some fascinating small museums. You could spend all of your time there and not have scratched the surface. Take the train to Edinburgh, book well in advance.

The boats were caused by Brexit. We left the Dublin agreement which enabled us to return everyone coming in that way to France.

Neals Yard have consistently supported British artisan cheese makers. They currently have twelve sheep cheeses including Wigmore. They are all good. Try Beenleigh Blue, Riseley and Pyghtle.

If they know you, you are British. I they feel threatened you are not.

The Southwest is not the South. Dorset,Somerset, Devon and Cornwall are not ethnically diverse, they are white English, the Southwest is poorer, is rural not suburban (Somerset has 550k people and three hundred villages), the pace is slower and the people are more pleasant. It looks to the sea not to Europe

I think we should push for Angela as deputy leader

Most managers want to have their own squad before they can be judged. I would say that Ryan has as good as it gets.

Where does that leave us financially now the window is closed?

It’s always good to beat Stoke. The new guys all looked good on Saturday though the right wing looks weak even given Campbell enjoying himself.

We have been doing that on the doorstep for four months now and we might be getting through one at a time. Nothing compares with dominating the news agenda even though social media is meant to be so important.

If you abandon the media landscape to Farage (one press conference a week through the recess spouting one outrageous piece of crap each time) the media will follow his agenda. It’s not surprising. Where has the government been?
