What a coincidence Eggs. I was in Waterstones too today. I asked the lady if she had a book on Sodomy. She looked a little embarrased and said "I think you have come to the wrong place." "That's the one" I said.

Well that's my bet secured for the stupidest post of the year contest. Sorry Vesp, but you've surpassed even yourself with that one.

They'd make your eyes water Joe. We have electric lighting down here and stay up long past supper time!

Zoomed in photographs are great! Check out this caterpillar.

Good God!! Tiddlywinks? Please?

Game over folks. A full day's sweaty forceful grappling goes to Spandit The picture is a close up image of the human tongue. Think of that next time you swoop in for a frenchie! When you think about it, it is a truly bizarre exercise at the best of times. Ready when you are Spandit

Spandit is mighty close peeps. Get your final answers in quick to avoid missing out on one of life's great pleasures!

No, not taken by me. Too bad on the sumo. Nice leathers by the way.

Here's another. PM your answers, or post that you know it without giving the answer. Winner gets to try and beat me at sumo wrestling.

Will this one do janey?

Super smug here!

Sounds like your best bet would be Conservative Mesterh.

In true arbtalk tradition, it's time for a Monty Python sketch.

I feel your pain Matthew. Was tucking into my favourite festive snack over Christmas, then my heart sank as I took a second glance at the label.

Was there another party who had no chance of winning but had more policies that you agreed with? I don't think there's any such thing as a wasted vote. At the very least you can hope to send a message that another way of thinking is on the up, and there's always the outside chance of a coalition. If we never vote for other parties they will never get anywhere and we'll remain in this endless loop of blame and getting nowhere.

Well, there's no arguing with that revelation Marcus! You could still name him you say? Why did you keep that bombshell under wraps for so long? Could have saved us a whole lot of needless aggravation.

One last reduction before I hang my harness up

Never thought I'd be looking forward to Songs of Praise! -
The people we put into power are a reflection of ourselves. We think about who will make us happiest and vote accordingly. It is quite telling that the people we elect very rarely improve our happiness once they start doing their thing. Are we wrong about the things that really make us happy? It could be worth taking a step back and letting your brain loose on this. If we can realise what truly brings us contentment and our thoughts and behaviour adjust accordingly, politicians will have to change their rhetoric and policies to get into power. We then might see some truly beneficial changes that really make us 'better off'. It all stems from us, the individual. TVI. (Skipping through the daisies)

Do you know when that will get aired Ti? -
That's a really difficult one as the political class very rarely talk about the issues that are most important to me. Environmental sustainability True wellbeing over financial prosperity Truly secular political discourse Long term thinking based on science and reason. Anyone focussing on these things will not get elected because when you boil it down, what the voting public really cares about is how much money they have. We elect the people who promise us the most financial reward and the least amount of sacrifice. Cameron was making some interesting noises at the start of his reign but then completely lost the plot. Last election I voted Green. With the hopes and desires I have personally, I was left with no other choice.
