    It is great to have a comedian post on here - how much do you get paid?

    What Corbyn should do is de-select all the MPs not following the party line (his cadre) and those seats to be contested in new by elections on Corbyn / party policies. Then we can see if they are representing the wishes of the labour electorate, it's the only morally correct way, I'd argue this if the conservatives moved towards the BNP or left of LibDem and de selected MPs as well.

    This all happened before and the moderate labour party split off to form the SDP. Can see that happening again with a new party filling the ground to the left of the LibDems.

    Maybe, but I still think if anybody leaves the Labour party it will be the left wing who will be pushed out by public demand. If Corbyn gets his thugs to de-select MP's that represent the majority view amongst Labour voters then a new centre party may be created, sponsored by individual members, not shackled to unions. Some Libdem policies are pretty left wing but cannot see them being players for a long time.

    I'm very wealthy by most standards so don't charge for my time on here, treat it as my charity.

    I was being kind - you don't - but who knows if you successfully complete the course you may gain some. You're a minion not a boss on here. See Dan or Hornette if you want to find a boss

    I'm not looking for any other bosses but may well meet Hornette at the next end of year awards. Are you free to do some driving? You must have a decent car and look presentable though.

    Only if you can take care of my terminally ill wife on that day. My jaguar is probably too old for your tastes though.

    Tomorrow is one her MRI scan dates though - always a horrible day - and not made better until the results when we return on Monday - assuming they remain positive. Thnakfully the junior doctors strike should not affect us unless they carried over some scans from today to tomorrow.

    Very sorry to hear that Leo, I was having a bit of misguided fun.

    Hope you have some good news.

    I'm going to put my head in a vice now!!

    Please don't - humour and fun keep us going and I enjoy the banter. Unfortunately good news cannot happen - just NOT bad news we hope :)

    Hope that it goes well Leo. I think that it is well known that this board is different to some, because when a member has problems others are as supportive as they can be. Let's keep it that way or others will leave. We might be a load of old farts, but caring I hope.
