    Marco.
    I knew someone who had a manservant named Waddle. Whilst having a bath, my friend broke wind. He was somewhat surprised when the manservant appeared a few moments later with a bed warmer. "I didn't ask for that" he exclaimed, to which the manservant replied "Oh I'm sorry Sir - I was sure I heard you say 'Waddle I want a hot water bottle' ".

    That's the first time anyone has told that joke since 1873. The Prince Regent was present, I believe.

    We aim to please!

    I heard the joke at school. I was aged about 14 at the time. The Prince Regent was at the same school, but he was a year or two ahead of me.

    I see the yes and no votes are exactly equal at 70 apiece. A coalition government is clearly the answer.

    Looks like the result will need to be decided with a toss.

    A 50-50 split.

    We could ban political discussion but only on alternate months?
