Johnson, Truss and Sunak were all found to have broken the parliamentary rules (in some cases many times) on not registering gifts and financial interests in the Register of member's financial interests. So now Starmer, who hasn't broken any rules (or laws, see above) and is doing exactly what...

We'll have none of that ridiculous talk on here :wink:

You're absolutely right. Fancy you picking that up :wink:

And my son doesn't eat Olives. Fussy gits, the pair of them :rolleyes:

My daughter is fine with mushrooms chopped up in stuff and raw, but a big old Portabello stuffed with crab or Boursin

Parsnip crisps are brilliant, roast parsnips with honey OK, but Rhubarb is an a league of it's own with only Gooseberries getting close. And it's what Duck was always waiting for :drool::drool:

Have to be honest, I wouldn't cook it myself, but if it was cooked for me :thumbsup:

No, sorry

We had our products on a few thousand client desktops, so our annual (and some products Bi-annual) releases required immense amounts of regression testing to check we hadn't f***ed up any of the clients we already had :wink: Setting up a good few thousand data sets and functional scenarios was...

TOPS Cobol 1983 (Chichester ?) retired at 50. What a cracking course :thumbsup:
