I'd be more impressed if they were in the top 1%

 

You may be surprised. According to Official Swiss figures
http://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/portal/en/index/themen/03/22/publ.Document.111380.pdf
the Swiss have a lower spending power than the brits and the krauts.

 

Even if I wanted to vote after the 4 hour trip back from London (thanks
Network Rail!) there's just no way I could face anything except a large
glass of wine.

If I could be arsed to shift myself I'd probably spoil my paper or
register a protest vote. MPs are just so bloody faceless.

It's exactly the same. You need at least one more vote than the person
who comes second.

 

Good choice - which lenses did you get?

I'd guess at the 17-85 IS-USM for one of them?

 

Would reduce the obesity problem amongst the Jeremy Kyle watching classes.

 

True enough - but once you start down the route of the L lenses, there is
no turning back...

Lowepro do a range of stuff - I have one of these for day to day mooching
and find it's OKish...

Rooms for kit you want to take out and about, plus a few sarnies and a
bottle of water...

 

Kata DR465.

I've got the larger DR467 which also can take a laptop.

 

Not a chance sunshine - you're pencilled in as Boris Johnson's PR
officer.

I wonder how long it would be before you had sweller sent to the Tower?

 

<fx:falls off chair laughing>

 

That may be down to higher cost of living in CH - I could still be out of
the top 1% here.

 

I imagine Boris would no longer be in power and would, instead, be
hosting telly programmes.

 

I have not actually met Sweller so that would be a rather rash thing
to do - this place isn't real and I prefer to meet people for real
before making a proper judgement as to whether we'd get on. He
strikes me as a decent candidate to run a new British Rail to replace
the hotch potch we have today.

You didn't expect that answer did you?

 

I'm also going through a darsyesque period with cameras, I think I want
a DSLR (in fact I mailed whoever it was that had a 350D for sale on here
but got no reply), but I need a chat with somebody in a decent camera
shop before I commit. Too much info in the "What Camera?" style mags. I
really just want something with good image quality, decent flash and the
ability to zoom (cricket and planes mainly).

Been looking at the 1000D.

 

I want one of them as a general use walkabout lens.

But first I need a 70-300mm zoom.

 

I think from age 16-21 you should have 3 options:

School/College/Uni.
Apprenticeship.
Armed Forces service.

No other options, no unemployment option. Any job comes under the
apprenticeship heading to ensure employers adequately train
youngsters.

 

Of course, it would require a full disclosure of all your income
affairs to be handed over to the council.

How could you set a rate, until you knew the "income" of each of your
constituents?

Everything would be done six months after the event - which would
require massive levels of local authority debt, which would need to be
financed.

Much like central taxation, which, after all, provides 70%+ of local
authority funding in the first place.

 

Bonwick's question time?
