Nah. I worry I have an addictive personality, so try to avoid any further potential addictions!

Yeah that's why I don't ebay.

I kind of hope Gove gets on the ticket, and is then slaughtered in the poll. I can't wait to see his political career go down in flames.

He's a nasty, incompetent little weasel.

[grimmas]

Woho there boyo

We can't go ruling them out for being incompetent we wouldn't have anyone to choose from.

[Mr Mystery]

His look-a-like Pob would be better suited - and less of a puppet to the media, which considering Pob is/was a puppet, is really saying something.

Britain's position on the Security Council was in large part to their role in the League of Nations that predated the UN. And one of the reasons they've held it so solidly is less their nukes and more that whenever the UK gets involved in a major conflict, the Queen snaps her fingers and the entire Commonwealth falls into line behind them. The Boer War, the Boxer Rebellion, both World Wars, the first Gulf War...

I just googled it cause I'd always assumed it was the five original nuclear armed nations, and then theres been at least two different reasons on here.
Google suggests its because the "P5" are considered the victors of WWII.
I expected it to be something more than that.

[Al Shut]

The reason they have held it so solidly is that they can veto any reform.

And who would be foolish enough to voluntarily give up such a favourable position without any need...

Forget that I asked.
