Joe 'Laddy' McNeill was appointed to take care of the club down by the waterfront by the local bosses, ensuring the protection money came through on time, with full authority to use whatever means were necessary to obtain it. He'd seen the mess this bit of turf had got into, with the young kids trying to take over and the trademark scars they'd leave with their razors. And the guy who'd last run the place wouldn't be walking down the streets again for some time.... Laddy was going to sort these types out once and for all, and wasn't afraid to call upon his friend Ryan, over from Dublin, to help him do it. Ryan had gone into hiding south of the border after being fingered in one nasty crucifixion incident in Derry; Laddy knew Ryan's tactics were exactly what was needed here...

Mootle, I find the plopiness comes when you introduce dried breadcrumbs follically. Although possibly I have not hair-dried them sufficiently. A sticky perm.

But the point is, Matt, we all know that a swan once dated Maxwell Davies.
Yes, but the pre-existence of my blinis to an earlier tardis movement by Dr Ian Waldorf might suggest that you are getting dangergooly close to groping ON-TOPIC here by mentioning like never before the Swift not of Nuttella but of Hoy-Sin ...

Best,

Alistair

4 Feb 2003

HOUSE OF COMMONS COMMISSION
The hon. Member for Roxburgh and Berwickshire, representing the House of Commons Commission, was asked—
Congestion Charge

32. Michael Fabricant (Lichfield): To ask the hon. Member for Roxburgh and Berwickshire, representing the House of Commons Commission, if he will provide pay point facilities for hon. Members to make congestion charge payments on the parliamentary estate. [95357]

Sir Archy Kirkwood (on behalf of the House of Commons Commission): Following my reply to the right hon. Member for North-West Cambridgeshire (Sir Brian Mawhinney) on 27 January, I am pleased to say that a congestion charge pay point will be installed by Transport for London next to the cash machines on the ground floor.

Michael Fabricant : That is reassuring for people like myself who are not telephonically challenged and will use a cell phone to send SMS messages to pay congestion charges, and of course for Ministers who are exempt and can swan around central London to their heart's content without paying any congestion charge. However, for all others, will the facility be ready by 17 February?

Sir Archy Kirkwood: All efforts are being bent to that end. I cannot guarantee that, but we are doing the best that we can to have the pay point installed as soon as Transport for London can manage it. On who is liable to pay the charges, I remind the House that your guidance through the Fees Office, Mr. Speaker, is that Members will not be able to use public funds through their incidental office expenses for such a purpose. What happens to Ministers is mercifully nothing whatever to do with me.

I thought so too, but according to the family records "Reginald Hurtleberry was inducted into the order of the Gilded Prune" in 1956, which would have precluded his involvement in the Great Train Robbery. Apparently he was the original proprietor of Hurtleberry and Trudge, gentlemen's outfitters.

I always thought that it was Bernard Shaw who first attempted to reform English spelling.
