    Q

    We all know that you are literate and a proper gent plus clean to boot! We also know that we're all adults and don't care about typos. We're just glad to see you back!

    And if there's anything I can't decipher I'm going to figure it a great gardening substitute for the crossword.

    Hugs,
    Lori

      Farage is hoping to make a pact with Boris, the lunatics have taken over the asylum.

          I heard Farage on the radio yesterday saying he doesn't really want to join with Boris but would prefer another referendum, but he didn't say he wouldn't join with him.

            Farage would sell his own mother to stay in the limelight. The one thing that BoJo has is that he has an opinion and isn't afraid to share it and make some waves to make progress; he can make a decision (even if he changes his view at a later date!) and run with it which is something that has been lacking recently.

              I think the only Politician that didn't change his mind was the one that died before he could:dunno::heehee:
              History shows that it is llttered with innumerable Politicians of all status, poliical colours, gender, and countries who changed their mind in their careers for whatever reason and with varying results. It always appears that when a Polticiian enters into a vital position, whether in a crisis like the present one, . so predictably,, how they get attacked, criticised, mocked, in some form or another but always negatively. Take a look at any present UK Politician, of any political colour, and there isn't one out who would want to take up the "Posioned" Chalice" of getting us out of the EU with a new fair deal , confronting the EU's stance of refusing to renegotiate, whilst the baying hordes of Tory remainers, an extremist Labour Party Leader who is disliked by his own MP's, or the Liberals Party that has never been solely in power as a Government are out there bringing Parliament to a mindless, selfish, state where they cannot take any decision, even changing a toilet roll:wallbanging:. As I mentioned before the UK nation tends to criticise, mock, degingrate, any Politician, while the country is in a crisis, who is looking for the support and backing they need. Whenever this sort of situation arises, no matter who the Poltitician is, I take a look in the mirror and realise I haven't the moral or political courage to do what they are doing and I shake my head while wishing them well, whoever it is.:coffee::)

                Are you sure you're talking about me, Lori??:dunno::heehee: I think my fingers are slowly getting more flexible but I will take things more slowly whilst proof reading my posts more carefully.:heehee:
                Thank you, sincerely, for your kind remarks.

                  Hi @ARMANDII , you take all the time you need. It's just great to have you back and I'm sure I speak for a lot of people here when I say that you're the Kingpin that holds Gardeners Corner together. Take care of yourself.

                              You'd think the BBC would do their research..........

                              They've just called Sajid Javid the first Muslim Chancellor of he Exchequer. He's not. He's a non church going Christian who's married to a Christian, who has always said that the only religion practiced in his family is Christianity.
