Sarah Palin, the ultimate hockey-mom...

[panik]

Cold as ice and should be beaten regularly with sticks.

The Middle classes? There won't be any left by next week, they'll all be fighting over the last tin of baked beans in a burned out Waitrose.

And, oh dear, that last story about the 'self-proclaimed seventh best (model train) modeller in Britain'.

Is there any finer way to begin the weekend than the News Quiz on the radio in a warm kitchen with a glass of lightly-chilled Old Peculiar in one hand, a herb-marinated olive in the other? For it be Friday, my darlings. May it be all that you dream. (o:

is eversoslightly squiffy. Does it show?

not a bit. Have another wee drinkie. And more olives. Green vegetables, you know.

I always love reading the reactions of flist overseas on the madness that is our election process. It's a nice reality check.

Love your definition of Palin as hockey mom. Pundits here are saying Biden won the debate and Palin exceeded expectations. Well, she pretty much had to since she was expected to TANK!

The economic news here is dire. I wish I could see some hope of leadership before january

Oh, I can claim no credit I'm afraid, it was the Most Blessed Sandi Toksvig on The News Quiz (as were all the other quotes).

Everything I hear about Palin either disgusts or scares me. She's a disgrace to a fine family name. (o:

Have a happy weekend yourself! *g*

Thanks!

Oh, Gilly, I have *got* to stop following you into various internet habits that can easily become addictions. I listened to The News Quiz online and it is fabulous. We'll have to add it to the regulars right up there with Dr. Who.

And heeeee! Old Peculiar! I haven't heard of that in a long time. Teh First Boyfriend had a fondness for it.

Ooh.

I didn't even know it was online - aside for the usual BBC feeds and listen again. All hail the Great Sandi. *g* You should try some other stuff, Just a Minute and The Now Show are a couple of my favourites.

Anything from your side you can rec - I'm always on the lookout for a quality download. :o)

Teh 1st BF sounds like a man of most excellent good taste to me.

Heh, I'm pretty sure it was the "listen again" option I was using.

Recs from my side of the pond -- well, I only listen to NPR on the radio, and they have a somewhat similar news quiz show on Saturdays called Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me... You must have heard of this, right? It's wonderfully hilarious and wickedly barbed. Here's the site: http://www.npr.org/programs/waitwait/ and if you click on This Week's Show you'll get a playback. The other funny show I like is about car maintenance, Car Talk at http://cartalk.com/ -- might not be your cuppa.

As for Teh First BF, he would be the first to concur with your assessment. Hee!

Re: Ooh.

Speaking as someone with no license, car maintenance is, indeed, not my bag at all. (o: I'll certainly give t'other a go, though.
