and the poll is after 18 months of DOL - pretty much exactly where it went all wrong - the decline in that second half was so frustrating.

i hate hate hate catcher in the rye, proving Chindie's point. I only read it last year, rather than awhen I was precisely 15.4535 years old which may have been the problem. But yes, **** you salinger, how the **** do you get so many references in journalism from writing a 12 pages of schoolkid colloquialism.

William Boyd Voltaire Candide think i can see your problem .. sometimes you just have to switch your brian off and read a bit of trash , nobody reads Boyd for fun ..nobody :-) really? ive nver read one of his before. Oh well! I may have to reread a douglas adams classic then.

i am having such a problem reading at the moment keep getting distracted. Had to go to the library to do some today. Got a book on Voltaire and some of his stories, started off with a shorty ' micromegas', quite amusing. I've stop/started on Candide a bit, so I might just go back to modern lit. I have a William Boyd book on the table really hoping something gets me back into the reading swing of things.

You still haven't, Jeff Buckley's version isn't the original, it was written and originally performed by Leonard Cohen you know, the minute I wrote that I was wondering, is it the original? ! Obviously not

Iwas like that at university - until i was offered sex on a plate and my principles swiftly changed managed to do it to a decent soundtract - she was the big lynyrd skynyrd fan - and I was finishing it up midway through Free Bird. I also started at the beginning of Free Bird too iirc

4 red cards each, extra time followed by a limping owen scoring the winning penalty to make it 1-0 after 48 rounds of penalties please.

why is there a need for total distinction? I want someone who'd be pragmatic, not someone who'd stick to some principle even when it's blatantly failing, then have to go through some ridiculous self-haranguing about 'changing the credo'. I don't want uber left or uber right at all. I wouldn't want a govt to tax everyone to death and waste it all, and I wouldn't want a party which isn't too far off this Not the nine o clock news pastiche: http://tinyurl.com/46n7y8

varying socioeconomic factors there I guess. I might just be shooting out stereotypes here, but in Wales / Scotland, where there is plenty of patriotic sentiment, the tories will always flounder - being seen as the most english of english parties, and maybe it's to do with that, historically lots of the mines / docks etc, full of workers in these areas? shoot me down if im writing codswallop and yes the centre has gravitated to the right imo I'm not sure if it's a temporary or a growing gradual cultural shift.

Do you actually live outside the city, then? In which constituency do you live? yes in a rural area Worcestershire Mid. last election: turnout 67& CONPeter Luff 51.5% 24,783 LD Margaret Rowley 20.4% 9796 Lib dems gained 1.6% more there of course I'm sure I'll be moving elsewhere soon enough, when I finally find employment, but even so, it irks me that in places like this potential voters might be dissuaded because those votes are discarded essentially until the next election.

generally i guess because many people feel "safer" voting with a party that isn't going to overhaul their cushty way of life hence polarising parties aren't going to ever take off spectacularly. The Lib Dems need to target the middle ground if they are to ever have aspirations of being a more credible visible force in politics, rather than a large fringe group acting in a glorified pressure group type role.
