Please sort the site out: Your load-balancing algorythms are as balanced as a late-night post from Wee-Timmy. Is Vanilla becoming a problem...?
She's standing down at the next election.
The 66-year-old - credited with leading London's successful bid to host the 2012 Olympics - is understood to be considering a move to the US to take up a professorship at Harvard.
Ouch. She was giving every indication of being interested up until recently. Though has drifted in price since then.
She's standing down at the next election.
She was always going to stand down at the next GE. Andrea has been pimping Dora Dixon-Fyle for the seat for years
Former Culture Secretary Dame Tessa Jowell is to step down as an MP at the next general election, according to Sky Sources.

Co-op Bank: everyone rushing to blame the hapless Rev Flowers. Need to focus on those who actually made decisions and their advisers
Is there any link between Dame Tessa and Silvio?
You may not be able to comment on each others' posts directly but we appreciate your twitter oneupmanship.

In Hereford Square,
in Hereford Square
There dwells a race of men
Unworthy the name,
For dead to shame,
They close their pubs at ten
They close their pubs at ten, my lad
And here is the reason why:
For there came that way,
One night in May,
A lad of Romany

2) Did they use the word flooding? That's ahem push polling.
Not sure anyone should take anything they say about the EU seriously at all. Certainly they should not be considered to have any relevance to the 'real economy' given that they have been so dishonest about countries' economies in the past.
Fear for house prices as 'estate resembles giant penis' when viewed from above in The Wirral

1. They've both taken serious quantities of Class A drugs
2. They've both enjoyed the company of... errr... paid for companions
3. They both believe in God
4. They've both ended up in court on sex related charges
5. They both hold strong political views

a typo or did the LD candidate killed half of the village?
Did they use that phrase in the question....?
Actually, perhaps that's it.
How to boost the share price/value to the shareholder.
Make SeanT the Chairman or Chief Executive of RBS.
I believe the accepted phrase is "ladies of negotiable virtue" ;-)
If you ever get caught by the Fuzz and or up before the courts, the accepted phrase is
"She's a condom seller, and she was providing me with a free demonstration on how to use one"
There's something about private/marginal polls that excites the media, and makes them believe them to be sooooo accurate than a normal VI poll.
Although last night someone did try to pitch me the idea of a company providing PAs/escorts... "hassle free wife" was I think the term used...
Needless to say I passed on the opportunity...

It isn't, its actually about 10% less:

The CBI industrial trends survey is similar to the PMI surveys in that it measures direction and rate of change rather than actual output.
Also, random point of the night flicking between Jonathan Ross and QT has anyone noticed how much Harry Styles looks like Mick Jagger?
I'm happy enough with my Jowell stakes. I've been on her since the weird one term / Eddie Izzard takes over thing that came out at the Labour conference. Iirc Fluffy flagged the post I tipped her in as spam, but maybe he thinks everything in English is spam.
The Tory press must raise their game as so far their attempts to draw in Labour bigwigs has had no effect on the polls.
However, literature from his Labour leadership campaign shows Mr Balls keen to highlight his work while a Treasury minister in clearing the way for the Co-operative Bank to merge with the Britannia Building Society in 2009.
So the legalisation happened in 2007, under Ed's tenure as Economic Secretary to the Treasury
There's some real shitting of bricks among the PB lefties about what might be revealed.
Most analysts agree that the root of its problems lie in the Britannia merger deal. A page on Mr Balls’ website shows that in September 2010 he was still referring to his role in the merger when he was Economic Secretary.
“In that role I was able to give the Treasury’s support for a new Private Member’s Bill that led to the creation of the first ever super-mutual bringing Britannia Building Society and the Co-op Bank together in the interests of customers rather than consumers,” he said.
All this innuendo is just irritating as clearly an attempt is being made by Tores` media friends to implicate Labour`s top leadership rather than to get at what was responsible for Co-op`s troubles.

That the new management of the Co-op bank will not be able to give the same terms as the previous management.
Making Labour reliant on the funds the union going forward.
I seem to remember that they would 'never support authoritarian regimes' or some such.
They never had any problem in subsidising the Labour party and its love of illegal wars.
Police media confirmed a man has been charged with animal cruelty.

But the loans and overdraft are provided by the banking section.
Labour admits they still owe £2million to the bank.
Those terms are generous – as apparently is the approach to repayment.
For example, £75,000 was loaned to Islington South and Finsbury Constituency Labour Party on 3rd June 1992. The CLP was meant to pay this back in June 2012, but it’s still listed as “outstanding” by the Electoral Commission. Many a small business would give their eye teeth for low interest rates and a bank manager who was so relaxed about getting the payments in on time.

He's in charge of stuff. No, not just that, he's in charge of your healthcare!
OMG
I've not made that claim. You think other people are like you and are happy to smear and libel away on here to make partisan points, but we're not.
See what conhome have written.
I can provide other sources.
Speaking to the BBC, Mr Dale added that interest rates will remain low for what he termed a "sustained period".
"We had a very deep recession, we have a number of years to go" he added, though he said that the economy is moving in the right direction.
Mr Dale also said that while a close eye is being kept on house prices, he doesn't see a housing market bubble.
He said: "We know that the housing market can quickly go from normal levels to overheating," but that the UK is "not there now".
Spencer Dale sits on the BoE's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), which sets interest rates

The other bit I've found interesting is that the co-op have informed local authorities they will be withdrawing their banking services/facilities in the future.

'Cameron's only aim was to make the Conservatives inoffensive. The problem is once you take out the offensive parts of the Conservative party there isn't much left.' (Huge cheers)
'Cameron's hope is to become the Andrex puppy of British politics. A cuddly symbol perhaps but fundamentally irrelevant to the product he's promoting.' (I wonder if he has changed his mind?)
'The freewheeling, bonus driven short-termism of the City must come to an end' (How's that one looking?)
It's funny but seeing this young handsome man speaking about fairness and social justice with real passion you could (if you were getting a bit carried away) almost envisage him as our John F Kennedy. Funny how it's turned out.
Tim is talking shite.
I am not saying what Tim is saying, I'm pointing out that the future operations of the co-op banking division is going to be vastly different to what has gone on before.
They are changing their approach, for example they've announced this.
The Co-op Bank will halt all its lending to local authorities across Britain as the troubled lender prepares to offload nearly £15bn of so-called “non-core” assets.
The lender has written to the leaders of 130 councils informing them of its decision to withdraw banking services to local authorities as it focuses on its ongoing retail and SME businesses.
