Now from what I know of the DTLR - that's vicious! :cool:
Chancellor of the Excheuqer: Turtle
Home Secretary: Toadborg
Foreign Secretary: Myself (hey, Salisbury did it)
Health Secretary: Man of Kent
Transport Secretary: Balddog (for a laugh )
Education Secretary: DJP
Defence Secretary: Whowhere
hrm...
I think he was trying to wind you up, pk, which he appears to have done fairly well...
(by the way, I think it's staggeringly stupid to suggest that women are cleverer than men or vice versa.)
I think the trouble is most of the current issues are fairly clear-cut... I mean, most people agree that the indian and pakistani govts are bonkers and probably shouldn't nuke each other, and not much is happening domestically. It was certainly much more vibrant when i joined not long ago. (I think.) I guess it just goes upand down.
Just to put in some tenuous link to the thread - I nominate myself for deputy undersecretary of the Fisheries. It's a prime post and I'm very proud. (or alternatively I'll be a benign dictator. first act declaring national 3 week holiday if we win the world cup.)
*wonders if anyone noticed unsubtle attempt to dig self out of hole*
Wahey! Is this because you think I'm Swiss and therefore know how to deal with money? Or because I agree with you on the Euro?
Personally I am chuffed that I was voted for Health Sec a couple of times, if only it were reality...
Fine, but the NHS will stay fucked up
My respects, Sir!
The LAST trait which one would wish within the person charged with defense would be a politically correct posture. While the military is the "strong arm" of the politicians, the force to enforce the will of the populace, it is the politicians who should be politically correct, rather than anyone responsible for defense.
btw ~ how very "PC" of you to refer to me as a "hawk"... usually, I am fancied to be much more of a ruthless preditor than a mere "hawk"...
Couple of suggestions here, but I haven't really thought them through...
Deputy PM; BK.
Drugs Czar (remember that post?) - ebb....
Minister of Defence - has to be Thanatos...
Health - must be MoK...
Foreign Policy - Hm..the fairmelissa or Turtle... though I would also suggest him for...
Leader of the Commons... Turtle/Whowhere
Attorney General (yes, we do have one) Scarlett..
Am still pondering Transport - I think J's suggestion to buy the buran is winning my vote presently...
Chief Whip - Karla?
Unknown yet; Home Sec, Education Sec, DETR, um...
In to that Cabinet, I need Mackenzie, Jacqueline, Prufrock, Vox, kentish, Pussy Katty..... um... I need to figure.
Ah, so that's why you were asking. lol. I'm flattered!
Incidentally, the next free position as a Law Lord in the House of Lords will be filled by a woman. I've got insider knowledge. Seriously, I do. I met Lord Hoffman the other evening and he said so! Though he's hoping he won't have to give up his spot very soon.
I'll have to think about this and make my own nominations at some point.
if I've ever disagreed with prufrock about anyhting I'm sorry. He's definitely right.
In fact, he's such a good bloke that I'm going to give him all my money and suggest you do the same.
Prufrock for PM!
It was a Garden Party in London organized by my College Law Network. Lord Hoffman was actually the first Law Lecturer that my college ever had (1966). I didn't know that. But he's really funny.
occupying balddogs body was weird. didn't realise how ugly he is.
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha I am SUCH a wit and this has NOTHING to do with the topic so I'll shut up now and go and stand in the corner
(sorry)
I figured you'd would prefer that to many of the other expressions I could have used
For some reason the words, unrelenting, unforgiving, mean s.o.b came to mind. Esp when that mean streak is longer than Route 66
I'll bet you've had that said to you a few times in your life
MOK, thanatos will take that as a compliment...
As he should
It is always nice to be appreciated for that which you do best...
However...
Having you say such nice things about me, gives credence to the thought that I have held myself in too great a restraint...
