Talking of TM and orb-like forms, I wonder if she ever wears the goldfish-bowl helmet with that dress?
I'd better mention Ed and his nose job, but, of course, there is nothing funny about 'baldness'. So don't go there.

work is going on behind the scenes to get property owners to improve the appearance of their buildings but the dtiz is the only thing on the table to regenerate the town at present.
the financing of the cable car is there but will not proceed until the ownership of the port is settled, which is not likely to be soon. - Keith Sansum1

even with all the volunterers with good intentionsALL POSTS ARE MY OWN PERSONAL VIEWS - 22 November 2013 10:39253238Friday Night. Nick Clegg. Probably not everyone's ideal combination to start the weekend! But what happens in Clegg's Sheffield constituency this Friday could be crucial to the future of our democracy. Can you help by signing the petition against the gagging law before then? https://secure.38degrees.org.uk/fix-or-scrap-the-gagging-law
Dear Reg,
This Friday evening, there's a big public meeting happening on the gagging law in Nick Clegg's constituency. It's our chance to take the campaign to protect democracy right to his doorstep. [1] Please can you add your voice by signing the petition?
If the worst parts of the gagging law are to be scrapped, Nick Clegg needs to shift position. But so far he's refused to listen to the warnings from charities, campaign groups and voluntary groups. [2] So let's use the next 48 hours to make our opposition louder.
The petition is already over 160,000 signatures. Tomorrow evening 38 Degrees members will deliver a copy to his office, and hand another to his representative at the meeting. Can you add your name now and get it past 200,000 before then?

Nick Clegg is still bullish in his support for a law that could silence charities and campaigning organisations. Just yesterday he said:
"I am unapologetically enthusiastic about a measure that will do a great deal to safeguard the integrity of the democratic process." [3]
This reads like something from George Orwell's 1984 - the current draft law would do pretty much exactly the opposite! The Commission of Civil Society and Democratic Engagement, supported by over 60 charities and organisations, and chaired by the former Bishop of Oxford, Lord Harries, says:
"There is no doubt that...part 2 of the Lobbying Bill risks profoundly undermining the very fabric of our democracy and significantly limiting the right of organisations - from charities and community groups to think tanks and blog sites - to speak out on some of the most important issue facing this country and the planet." [4]
Other Lib Dems, particularly in the House of Lords, do seem to be starting to listen. [5] But Nick Clegg is the party leader. For us to win, he needs to change his mind. This Friday is our best chance yet to put pressure on him, with a public meeting in his backyard and a massive petition signed by hundreds of thousands of people.

Prime Minister is said to have jokingly referred to Nick Clegg as an 'idle f***er'
In public his language is crafted, his words carefully chosen and his statements checked for inadvertent offence. In private, though, David Cameron is said not to be averse to the odd bit of "Anglo-Saxon vernacular". Or, to put it another way, he can swear like a trooper.
Yesterday it emerged that on top of allegedly referring to the Government's environmental commitments as "green crap", he has also taken a colourful swipe at his Liberal Democrat deputy Nick Clegg.
Mr Cameron is said to have jokingly referred to Mr Clegg as an "idle f***er" - teasing him for enjoying a meal with his wife while he was drumming up trade on a trip to India and the Middle East.
A senior Conservative revealed that Mr Cameron had phoned a friend in the racing industry to get the low-down about racehorses owned by Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, ahead of an official visit to the United Arab Emirates last week.
The Prime Minister met the Sheikh last Saturday, with the aim of persuading him to buy Eurofighter Typhoon jets for the United Arab Emirates. But when Mr Cameron called his friend, the man revealed that he was dining close to Mr Clegg and his wife Miriam at a restaurant.
Mr Cameron apparently said: "Tell him he's an idle f***er. I'm out here batting for Britain while he's having a nice dinner." - 23 November 2013 09:01253383must have picked up that sort of language at his public school reg.
