If more than one cabinet leaves on the same Ladbrokes operate their dead heat rules. Thus if three of the 23 members settlement would be based on a third of your stake at the odds that you originally got.

"A Gulf source has told Reuters that Saudi Arabia had equipped fighters for the first time with shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles, their most urgent request.
Rebels said Riyadh had also sent them anti-tank missiles."
There we go. Saudis arm their side. Iran theirs.

Do you fit that in between writing those best-selling novels, Richard?
If Moore goes, another Scottish Lib Dem would have to replace him (unless they do the sensible thing and scrap the Scottish Secretary role altogether).
There has in the past been the feeling that the French regulator not only applies regulations to the letter but, when transposing European rules, seeks to apply more stringent or protective versions," Rameix told journalists at a media event.
"This is no longer our strategy ... Our role is to avoid adding more to European regulations that might trigger a transfer of operations elsewhere."
Pennies - or cents - dropping there.......
As it happens, there's not all much he can do on this front anyway because the coalition is so explicitly brokered.
It was the snide way of expressing it that amused me.
I assume that a Big Girls blouse keeps the Tits in their place - which would seem to be a compliment to Mr Cameron.
"Bob Buchan, who was born in Aberdeen and was installed as Chancellor of Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh last week, said: "Generally speaking we Scots Canadians are aware [of the independence campaign] but our view is coloured after three decades of ongoing debate on Quebec's independence which has been a tiresome project for us all."
He said: "A number of political decisions made by the separatist government in the Quebec administration have resulted in the country being laughed at," citing the work of the Quebecois "language police" as evidence of independence campaigners making Canada a "laughing stock" and a "circus"."

I see that Farage will be in Aberdeen tomorrow to support Otto Inglis in the fight for genuine independence.
I am reminded of the stories of high flyers in industry where people were moved on at a fast pace. My view always has been that people need a year in their new job to understand the problems, a second year to implement solutions and a third year to live with their changes.
Five minutes' walk from here there's a lovely view of Campsie Fells. I think. Either that or the Kilsyth Hills.
Cameron, quite rightly, wants his ministers to get to know their departments. Unless they really run into issues or show themselves as incapable of delivering then I think that change is unlikely.
The concept of re-shuffles like this is rooted in 70s politics isn't it? Such a stupid decade.
Honest answer only please.
There's nothing "uppity" about the Scots wanting independence. Maybe they would prefer independence for not having a big voice in the world. Maybe being able to make decisions for themselves is what counts - and hooray for that!
I don't have a dog in this fight but, really, those who want to maintain the Union need better arguments.
I like it. It's not Stargate - more Lost crossed with Battlestar Galactica.
Shame it got cancelled, this seems to be because it tried to use the Stargate brand and went off piste re the core fans and its a lot darker. Rather like a band who decides to do something new and fans hate the album, everyone who may like it is put off by the bitching and then it falls out of the charts...
Pity really. Reminds me of Firefly - just didn't get the time to establish itself with another older demographic.
"As the crisis ramped up in 2008 and continued in 2009, unemployment rates increased across the board in OECD countries. However, the impact was much greater for adults without an upper secondary education. Among this group, unemployment rates rose from an already high 8.7% to 11.5%, and jumped five percentage points or more in Estonia, Ireland, Spain and the United States.
"Adults with an upper secondary or equivalent level of education fared somewhat better: among this group, unemployment rates rose from 4.9% to 6.8% between 2008 and 2009 across the OECD zone. However, in Estonia, Ireland, Spain and Turkey, jobless rates reached 10% or more for this group of people - a mark generally regarded as troublingly high territory for unemployment."
University graduate unemployment rose by 1,1%
"By contrast, people with a tertiary education were the best protected against unemployment during the thick of the global recession. Overall, unemployment rates in OECD countries ticked up just 1.1 percentage points for this group between 2008 and 2009, from 3.3% to 4.4%. Moreover, 2009 unemployment rates remained at 5% or less for tertiary-educated people in 24 out of 34 OECD countries, and surpassed 8% in only two - Spain and Turkey."

The fact that you seem unable to differentiate between devolution and independence probably means that you should cut back on the orotund pronouncements on the subject.
Personally, James, Scottish independence would amuse me greatly, although I wouldn't let that put you off.

Just got a ticket to see PSB at the O2 arena tomorrow night. I'm going to have to drive down because of work (possibly in a bit of a hurry), and all the bookable car park spaces have gone.
So: does anyone have any idea the best places to park around the O2? I'm an O2 virgin...

I have no idea, to be honest I think England would probably be better off without you. I certainly don't have a strong opinion either way. What would really amuse me would be for England to leave the Union first, but that's not going to happen (although I believe it wouldn't be an unreasonable response to a Scottish "Yes" in the referendum).
I was giving people the tabloid version!

Have just put a small wager on the ALP at 13/2, Rudd-led Labor is 50/50 in the polls against the Coalition

I just say what I think. You knew entirely what I meant by my comment and yet you chose to nit-pick.

I'm fully aware (for conversational purposes) of Norway's history, and have some understanding of the rather complex history of Denmark too. Perhaps the confusion is in the word modern - I mean by that within our lifetimes. Isn't that the accepted definition?
" AN INDEPENDENT Scotland would become part of a northern European "arc of prosperity", the Scottish National Party promised yesterday.
Alex Salmond, the SNP leader, claimed that Ireland, Iceland and Norway demonstrated that small independent countries were amongst the richest in the world. "
" With RBS and HBOS - two of the world's biggest banks - Scotland has global leaders today, tomorrow and for the long-term. "
"As you know, we're in sterling and sterling is sinking like a stone. It's now about parity with the euro."
“Dear Fred, It is in Scottish interests for RBS to be successful, and I would like to offer any assistance my office can provide. Good luck with the bid. Yours for Scotland, Alex.”
Osborne is more likely and there are about 10 tory cabinet ministers more likely than him. Quite absurd. If the tories had 4 cabinet members they would be Cameron, Gove, Osborne and Hague. Everyone else is negotiable and they should remember it when they want to chirp about Syria or anything else.
"Castles in the air tend to do that."
So does the word 'devolution' to a man who clearly doesn't understand what it means.
