Think yourself lucky that you got a seat. It's normally full of coppers having their hours break.

Franny was there buying them all Tapas to save them the indignity of queuing up at the food bank  

I didn't know they were there until after we left the restaurant.

This sounds serious.

Not often one sees HSBC and money laundering mentioned together.

I think he will find that they've all ceased to be MPs after the 3rd of May. They are now candidates.

I'll say again, skullduggery in high places, well I never.

No further action.

Just a friendly warning in order to avoid too much stress around these parts. If any of you see the name of the Labour candidate for Blackpool North, don't have nightmares. It's a different Chris Webb

Surely Nigel Farage will complain about this......he wouldn't sink as low as drinking out of a tin can or eat chips out of a paper container.....no class this woman.

Right, that is it, I am voting for the Lib Dems.

They have said that they will legalise cannabis and about time too, far out. If the USA, Canada and other nations can do it, so can the UK. Man, the taxes raised by such a venture would be immense and will be a good windfall in the Government coffers.

Seriously though, I can see cannabis being made legal in the UK. It will probably be within the next seven to ten years as an "out there" guess, the Lib Dems won't do that well in this election and will be unable to push through the policy.

Right, where's me hash pipe !!.

Tory lead in the polls down to 5 points (YouGov, tonight). Shit's getting interesting.

It's certainly been a sterling effort at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory by May since her manifesto.

What ho, proles!

Fantastic news from up country; dear Theresa has infuriated hippies nationwide with a pledge to bring back foxhunting! The smelly pot smoking oiks have long detested sport, probably from their comprehensive school upbringings where every 8th placed finish was rewarded with a gold medal, but Big Tez has one great British virtue: unshakeable belief in oneself; she has even lined up the troops (aka "our boys") to aid the police in case there is a repeat of Beanfield. Once more unto the breach, hey! Marvellous.

Tally ho!

Tory win still looks nailed on

They all get their figures wrong occasionally. Philip Hammond didn't know what HS2 was costing and he's the Chancellor. I suppose at least the Labour manifesto has been costed. May can't stumble over funding figures because the Tories won't cost their promises

There's getting them wrong and then there's not having a scooby. When appearing on womans hour, a programme with a high volume of mothers with young kids as an audience, you wouldn't need to be a genius to assume that one of the questions likely to be asked would concern the free childcare promise/policy and that a swotting up on the costs involved would be deployed, fellas a buffoon.

Stick to the one liner Les. You ain't no speaker off piste.

You would expect Corbyn's tech guys to have sorted out possible answers for that occasion.....maybe it had been left to Diane to supply the answer....

Not in your league foreshore when it comes to the waffle, however agreeable. I know Jezza is close to your heart but it wasn't a personal attack on you dear.

Woman's Hour doesn't have a high volume of anyone listening if the last Rajar figures are any guide
