After the outpouring of emotion and concern expressed on this message board for Bill Clinton, how comes no-one is remotlely interested in Tony Blairs heart op today? (tongue firmly in cheek).

Well - I think I know the answer to this question, but just thought I'd ask!

P.S. My daughter suffers from S.V.T. and has done since she was born, it is easily sorted with a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a towel , or ice cubes down the back! Can you imagine that at the Labour Party conference?

I'm sure a great many people on this side of the pond are too, but from what I understand, Voodoo doesn't work here. Something to do with the climate I think.

... probably because, unlike Clinton's bypass operation, Blair had a relatively minor procedure described thus by the BBC:

"a simple technique which thousands of patients in the UK undergo each year".

I guess MY definition of minor surgery is surgery performed on someone
other than me!

Yeah, but Colin, I could do a 'toasty' and complain that nobody cares about the English. Sulk Sulk £££$$$$%%%%. (International hug called for I think!) and by God do we need one!

nah - Mr Blair is also part Scots. He and I went to high school in Edinburgh around the same time. Mind you, he went to the rather snooty
and private Edinburgh Academy whilst I attended a typical rough public inner city school in the tenements of Gorgie/Dalry.

I hope he recovers quickly and completely. The U.S. needs all the world supporters we can get these days.

I must be bored - I'm posting again to correct my own mistakes. Blair went to Fettes College not Edinburgh Academy. Both are rather exclusive toff high schools for the non financially challenged.

Further Education Dublinn.. It means catching the ones who got out of the original net of school and getting them at work! National Vocational Qualifications and 'Lifelong Learning'. It's where Charles Clarke puts us old whistling graduates. (ha ha).
P.S. I don't wear socks and sandals, courdoroy, carry my pencils in my top pocket and weigh 24 stone.....before you ask!
P.P.S. ..and I run my own consultancy.....Don't know why I had to say that , but feel I have to defend F.E. teachers!

Blimey, arnt I on the defensive tonight? Thank God I have a big Cheesey Bean baked potato, my Low D, and last orders at the pub, what more could a girl ask for?

Well now I understand,I never heard the phrase before being a long time out of school.I asked my sixteen year old son but he was baffled as well.
I live and learn......
