You should just buy yourself your own TV.

(I think it's probably more an addiction than OCD though!)

And what you don't realise is that Robyn is in fact Derek Fopps a 54 year old bricky from Middlesborough who trawls cyberspace for sad old gits then arranges to meet them in a secret location and buggers them senseless. Clever though isn't he.

I think that's more of a precedent than a rule, so unless you can direct me otherwise, rubbish! The House of Lords is there to scrutinise legislation. If they had some ridiculous Nazi-esque statement in their manifesto, and still got in, should it still be able to bypass the Lords?

In any case, the Act they used to get it past the Lords was illegal itself. The whole thing was, and is, a total mockery of the British legal and Parliamentary systems.

It's called the Salisbury Convention, technically conventions are meant to be followed without fail. The British parliamentary system is based upon them and if they are challenged inappropriately the British political system would suffer. Also if a Nazi-esque party is voted in then they are legally allowed to carry out whatever measures they promised in their manifesto, this is a democracy after all.

I sent my friend my personal statement.
Matt says:
i didnt throw up a little while reading it
Matt says:
you are not getting into uni
Matt says:
is not nearly disgustingly pretentious enough

He says I'm up against this-"JK Rowling had her midnight cafes; Roald Dahl's garden shed has produced wheelbarrows of children's literature and the Bronte sisters roamed the vast expanse of the Yorkshire moors. I personally retreat to a caravan at the bottom of my garden where I find the creative stimulus required to write prizewinning poetry and biology essays alike." and then vomited.

Is that what we're up against? Oh dear that is very bad.
