If so, I'm off to bed

I'm on holiday this week so wasn't there.

Turned off and stopped wasting my time listening to this trio.
I love dazzling my mates with what's going on in the Chilean league B.
One request though, it would be great if it can be run from an SD card and not have to run from the phone memory.
After two bombs were detonated at the airport and one on the metro system last Tuesday, senior officers in the Ixelles district of the city were summoned to review emergency plans with the local mayor.
However, one of the police commissioners arrived late at the meeting and then struggled to answer questions, according to Belgian media reports.

Completely ot, does anyone know the 1972 album Lark by Linda Lewis? She's an English soul singer that i only just discovered and I'm rather upset that nobody told me about her before. She's like a mix of Carole King and Minnie Ripperton http://youtu.be/RDdX0YyLCRs
However, the Republican front-runner did not disclose what that punishment would be, during a town hall event with cable network MSNBC.

Still waiting for this tack to the centre..
[For the record, I strongly support a woman's right to choose.]
"The British public must be told the truth about migration ahead of the EU referendum, the Office for National Statistics has been warned, amid concerns official figures may be wrong.
In a development which will intensify public debate about immigration ahead of the June 23 vote, the UK Statistics Authority (UKSA) has written to the head of the ONS pointing out “speculation about the quality” of migration figures.The watchdog said the public must be told if official immigration data “falls short of providing a full picture”.

Ted Cruz is way more right wing !
I think the interviewees still don't really have a feel for Corbyn - the alienation was typified by the suggestion that he should have cancelled a commitment to CND, an issue that he's fought on for decades and made lots of members vote for him - in favour of a party event on the EU. But they're also mistaken in thinking he's a closet Eurosceptic who plans to sit out the referendum, and I'm saying that on the basis of having talked to him directly. He's not going to bang on about it week after week, but he won't be leaving any doubts.

Public opinion on Europe has shifted in favour of continued membership in the past month, according to ORB. Some 51 per cent of people say that the UK should remain a member of the EU, while 49 per cent want to leave it. Last month ORB found that 52 per cent wanted to withdraw from the EU and 48 per cent to stay.
The risk for the Tories is that they do choose Boris because the members insist (in other words that MPs don't keep him off the ballot - what else does that remind you of?) and he then has a honeymoon which turns horribly sour by 2020.
JohnO, Casino Royale, and I represent a range of Toryism, and we all think Boris as leader will be a fecking disaster.
Sensible, boring, competent choices
Always good when a Tory Minister puts the public sector in their place.
Believe in BRITAIN!
Be LEAVE!
(Though I too have a green book on Hunt. My reasoning is that Hunt is a dickhead with PR and press connections. Other dickhead Tory MPs are going to like that).
In addition, Gove is on record as saying he doesn't want the job and doesn't feel he has the qualities necessary to do it.
Trump, according to Optimus, is ahead in CDs 1,3,7 and 8. Kasich in 2. Cruz in 4,5 and 6. 5 has the most Republican voters. Actually think 4 (City of Milwaukee) is in play for Trump as there will a fair number of Reagan Democrats Trump could attract there, same way he won Chicago in Illinois, same goes for CD 1 where the counties over the state line in Illinois he won.
Could see Cruz win Wisconsin whilst only winning two CDs. Trump should pick up 3,7 and 8 which are the Northern and Western CDs. Kasich looks good for Madison (2). Cruz only looks good in 5, the others are all in play.

Must be something to do with crossing the Equator, scrambles up their belief that public healthcare is good, everything else is evil.
They really love the NHS if they are heading for Australia.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/david-cameron/12207164/Stupid-online-petitions-are-whats-wrong-with-our-democracy.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter And still so long to go - it will prove a competitive field. Chairman of the board type who lets ministers get on with it? Best stick with Cameron then,
Plus, he is a very good Justice Secretary, his tenure as Education Secretary vastly improved education standards.
He is also respected across all wings of the party.
I can see the Cameroons backing him, as well as the Leavers.
His statement on why he was backing Leave still gives me a tingle.
You should embrace it.
May has been a competent Home Secretary but nothing more and certainly doesn't inspire as a leader.
Gove, as I have already noted, has ruled himself out as not being up to the job.
TSE for PM!
I would still say that, if not Boris, then May would be your best choice. I think she has the Cameron-like ability of being able to convince people she is the strict but ultimately well-meaning headteacher who wants the best for the country - as opposed to Osborne, Hammond and most of the Cabinet who do/would come across like they're only doing "tough" things because they're evil bastards who like taking money away from the average joe.
I never regretted that decision until recently.
The blob hated him
The Tory Party likes to be unpredictable when it comes to choosing leaders, but rightly or wrongly, think the next election is the bag, no matter how shite they get.
For even a former Labour Home Secretary said of Corbyn, that he gave tacit support to Al Qaeda.
I think I know this country very well, they will never elect someone who is described by his own side as a tacit supporter of Al Qaeda
Still, has a lot of delegates in the bank but things are not getting easier.
He's like Brewster in Brewster's Millions. He doesn't want to win, so he keeps on doing/saying outrageous things so he'll lose.
Except all it does is boost his poll share.
Go for it, I'd vote for you.
Brewster's Millions with the great Richard Pryor.
Example the latest episode over abortion, this NeverTrump has actually suggested something much worse yet he still denounces Trump as an extremist:
https://twitter.com/AdamWeinstein/status/715285640192065536
This whole NeverTrump movement is simply a power struggle by the worst people in politics (consultants) trying to maintain their jobs and influence, it has nothing to do with ideology or policies it's just pure corruption.
And the longer the fight goes on the worse the outcome for everyone involved, as shown in the polls.
George Osborne does realise its just a work of fiction right?
Isn't it extremely difficult to be a competent Home Secretary? For that reason alone, maybe Ms May's abilities are greater than would appear.
All those things that people who regularly observe politics knew for a long time, the first sings came in 1992, the validation came during the Bush W. years.
Only now though everyone, even those who usually are indifferent, are paying attention to what the Republican party really stands for, and people hate what the republican party stands for and it's incompetent corrupt leaders.
To give an idea how destructive this primary is for the GOP, it's like the day IDS resigned for the Tories but make it everyday for 9 months with another 3 months at least to go and only 6 months till election day.
Goodnight.
'May has been a competent Home Secretary but nothing more and certainly doesn't inspire as a leader.'
'Isn't it extremely difficult to be a competent Home Secretary? For that reason alone, maybe Ms May's abilities are greater than would appear.'
Spot on, the normal tenure for the job is two years.
