At least Farage didn't make it.

It was a tongue in cheek remark. If more women are to run the country more women have to get involved at grass roots level and beyond. We have a very active local female Tory councillor who is very, very ambitious but it needs lots, lots more. Its not a question of heads in the sand. It is a question of women putting themselves forward and breaking the glass ceiling. Thatcher should have made a difference but she hardly brought women on herself did she - and in truth was more manly than the men in her cabinet. I am not gobsmacked because I am 61 years old and have never known anything different. Another thing I would say is that Government is one area where being a middle class man is a plus - in most other areas it is a hindrance nowadays. I have just left the CPS and I can tell you there that it is mostly run by women. The SNP is led by a woman. I wouldn't be surprised if the next Labour leader is a woman and maybe even the next Lib Dem leader.

Not sure why anyone should be gobsmacked by that, it has been the case for ever, even under Thatcher. Not saying it is right but the days when the country is run by underprivileged, black lesbians is a long way off. It is the system.

What a depressing night. Miliband has to step down and Labour need to be very careful about who leads them next. Not surprised that Clegg got a kicking after throwing his lot in with the Tories but who'd have thought the vote would go to the Tories? 5 more years without any checks. God help us.

Bloody hell, Townsend and Daltrey? I loved The Who back in the day but they really ought to call it a day now.

I haven't had that happen to me but no, it doesn't feel like that. You barely feel anything (perhaps the odd tug - ooer missus) and a nurse usually stands besides you and chats away as if nothing untoward is happening to help take your mind off it.

I have just voted although up until today I wasn't going to bother. I am in a safe Tory seat but want to do my bit to unseat them if I can. I was talking to Mrs SOG about this year's campaign last night and neither of us can but a cigarette paper between Cameron, Clegg and Miliband. They all look the same, they all sound the same. They are all squabbling over the middle ground. God help us whoever gets in although I think we are in for another coalition.

I wonder who Ian Branfoot's biggest influence was?

The only people who drive on the "wrong side" of the road are those who drive on the left if that country drives on the right and vice versa. There is no right or wrong unless you go against the flow of traffic.

Yeehaaaaa!

Will do and thanks for the tip JBS.

I cant think of many Royals who would give anyone wet dreams (nightmares perhaps). The exception being Camilla and Charles of course. No doubt he probably thought of her when William and Harry were conceived. They may have privilege but the Royals have pretty much all fallen out of the Ugly Tree.

Many megalomaniac, sociopathic dictators were/are good orators. Must go hand in hand with their personality disorders and over inflated egos.

Shouldn't that be reverse cowgirl? Depends on your disposition I guess!

So then, shortly after tweeting that his wife had slipped away, Chelsea fans tweeted back that it was "karma" and one even said it was better than winning the Premiership. What loathsome creatures follow that club.

Faz, it doesn't work like that. It has to be done to you

Had mine done after the birth of my third daughter in my mid 40s. The first Mrs SOG suggested it as she didn't want to go on the pill again. Gallantly I counter suggested that she get sterilised but she said the snip was more straightforward for me. I checked it out and unfortunately she was right, so I was done. Very straightforward and not too much discomfort afterwards. I would recommend it once you have decided that you don't want any more sprogs.

Jail sentence sums up how I see it. The Queen has been a magnificent servant to this country but who really would swap lives with her?What a ballachingly boring existence. I'd happy keep the Monarchy (without Charles) if for no better reason than we breed people for the role and they grow up expecting this kind of life. I would never vote for anyone who wanted to do it willingly! As for the Civil List, get rid of it. We should pay for the immediate Royals and the rest should get jobs.

Ah, a bit of bondage!

According to my missus nipple/tit tape wouldn't be strong enough to keep those puppies in.

Vikings is worth a look. Its no GoT but has some strong female characters, good fight scenes and is based on a real Viking character. Looks authentic.

I've started watching it as it follows Game of Thrones and they have put Thronecast back until after Silicon Valley. Looks good so far but I'm playing catch up so am still trying to work out the characters.

I agree. £16m was an awful lot of money for Chambers who has now shown his true level - which is not top 4 level. Maybe he will improve in time but it was a deal too good to miss.

I really don't think it was the timing of the deal. Jack clearly wants regular starts and we couldn't offer that to him. Good on him for wanting to play and he has moved on and gets more starts.
