I'll reprise pies with only a lid. That's not a pie, just a casserole with a bit of pastry on top. I want my questionable /unhealthy filling fully encased in unhealthy pastry.

If you stripped out the heavy adjectives and polemical style, you'd probably get some reasoned feedback on the substance of that.

It's widely reported, but not reportable! Not remotely surprised.

Yep. A while ago it seemed far fetched, but the threats are starting to get real. The problem is we can't Pandora back in the box.

Yep, he lost, deservedly. Bringing that up was a disgrace.

Oh absolutely, massively red, hence taking it would have been a huge statement.

All 3 of them are impressive, and Abdul was very classy in the face of a horribly dirty campaign. I loved the way he dealt with the heckler who asked if he opposed the Muslim brotherhood, essentially exposing him as a racist but without pointing the finger.

Yep, although Florida would have been a massive statement win and sewn up the south east coastal states. The change in the south is huge though, and Mississippi will be interesting - only 28 votes in it after almost a million votes counted.

Yep. Great turnaround, although it looks like the Democrats will fall a little short in a few places I'd like to have seen them flip, Florida for example. The downside is that he'll veto everything though so he's not been neutered.

God is a DJ. They even made a song about it - what more proof does anyone need.

I reckon winter festival pudding is his favourite, and that he loves wearing his winter festival jumper for a pre winter festival shandy at the winter festival market.

Contractions! Is that a reference to the birth of the baby Jesus?

God knows.

Yep. Good team and in form. Their front 2 will be a real handful for Stephens and Slot. I'd happily take a draw.

Ditto. I'm glad to be wrong. He's made a massive difference.

Yep, not sure why it's become such a big thing although it's give Radio 6 an excuse to play all sorts of weird and wonderful Halloween related tunes. Don't fear the reaper was a highlight.

For novelty value, yes.

So what were you hoping for? 10p off income and corporation tax, vat threshold doubled, zero cgt, fuel duty halved? Give some specifics.

Peasants, especially when around me on holiday.

Looked at, yes, but not yet. I want to build a bond ladder but won't at the moment. I diverted some stock a few weeks ago to short term money market, GEAR funds, and Cat bonds. Glad I did.

I was going to post similar. I don't know anyone who gets PiP who wasn't refused initially, then on review, and only got it on appeal. All meritorious claims. In my experience it's nonsense to suggest that it's easy to claim. The issue for me is that it isn't means tested - nuts that people get it on health entitlement but don't need the money - and shove the money into a SIPP or ISA.

Yep, that was pointless. People would have used short term money market funds as a workaround so binning it makes sense.

Agreed, and that's pretty much what it was. The little raid on the banks was well balanced imo, although the blanket energy gift wasn't the best way to use the money. I'd liked to have seen something on fuel duty instead.

Yep. Markets don't mind it either -FTSE up, 10 year bond yields down. I think it was pretty cautious, but given what he's got to work with, it was better than I expected.

Indeed. You didn't get much support with that opinion. The same last season with Azaz.
