Oh yes, that's it, something about 'it's all gone quiet over there'.

Something along those lines.

Actually Its the calm before the storm.

Hey don't shoot the messenger.

Perhaps the misdirected message I received wasn't a mistake.

Perhaps I was chosen to be the stool pigeon, being an independent observer, to broadcast this 'sensitive' information to the world.

I think you are right TD.
This is a tried and tested situation that Garinda revells in.
He will milk it again and again and again.
The Black and White Minstrals made a success of a painted black face....I think this is cry for help.

I'm sure that if a close friend of the Labour leader had inadvertently sent a message containing such damning evidence, to someone to whom he was opposed, it would never have seen the light of day. Yeah, right.

Happily not having a mean bone in my body, I'm more than prepared to share what I was sent, as an act of freeing information.

I hate to picture that, in relation to the hot dog that was quoted in the original newspaper story.

That has got to be the most stupid statement I have read in my life.
Mean bone in your body? You are the most vindictive individual I have ever come across. I fail to understand why you put so much store on the information on someone who you obviously dont like as opposed to the waistful and costly expenditure of the Government and the expenses of the EU representatives who are costing you, as a taxpayer your hard earned money?
Get real and direct your observations to the ones that are costing you a bloody fortune in taxes rather than someone who is costing no more than a train ticket.
Stop posturing and use your obvious wit, or lack of it it, to the problems and costly expenditure that involves us all.

I see that some people still haven't got to the chapters on satire and self-parody, in that great book
'Teach Yourself a Sense of Humour'.

I've probably hyperventilated because of laughing so much, and have been rushed into hospital.

It does not matter if it is a grey area here, is it a gray area in the US where this site is hosted?

The press use the Inormation of Freedom Act all the time, and publish the information obtained.

If it's newsworthy.

I have been in meetings this afternoon with the leader of the council. And I feel compelled to tell you that he was in a real mean mood. Something as obviously upset him.
