You're not a Civil Servant are you?

“In Europe, democracy is a falsehood. I do not know where it will end, but it cannot end in a quiet old age." - Klemens von Metternich *** “Owing to the storms presently occurring within the north Atlantic,” the Counting Officer was saying amidst Cornish-tinged catcalls, “the arrival...

I've got no idea. I did this one (as I have done for the majority of them) but I'm not sure if it deserving of a sobriquet... ...urh, Roemist-Tindaleism?

Cheers for the kind words chaps - a little silly, a little self-indulgent, but I don't think too bad for half-an-hour's work!

“I like to think (it has to be!) of a cybernetic ecology where we are free of our labors and joined back to nature, returned to our mammal brothers and sisters, and all watched over by machines of loving grace” __________________ Applause. The Comptroller was...

I have always been of the view that the only options open to Russia in the late-1910s are authoritarian governments of one stripe or another. In reality, the best hope you have is refounded Stolypinism – a radical attempt at land-reform and the breaking of the old estates, coupled with harsh...

Thanks for the response Tom, entirely agree with the points raised. For those of you who may not be too aware of the Prime Minister, James Purnell - here is how he officially looks ITTL. As Tom has said, it makes him look like a bit-player in a Scandinavian police drama.

Aye - I had a bit of downtime at work (which is, as it happens, Transport for London) and thought that it would be sensible to get something together that was a bit different (I'm a big Flanders and Swann fan as well) - and as you say, this is a London that still has a first-rate public...

It is a brief, evocative description of a scene or episode.

(From, “Mind the Gap: A History of London Transport” by Christian Wolmar, Puffin, 2004) The decline of the London Underground following the Second World War not inevitable. Amongst the chaos of the Blitz, thousands of Londoners had sought refuge from the Luftwaffe in the Tube’s numerous...

Meadow and I have been toying with something as it happens.

It was actually supposed to be a reference to the old Guinness adverts, but I more than understand why. Hmm, Jagger did go to the LSE before dropping out - I'm sure it could be done...

I'm reminded of that episode of The Big Breakfast where Zig and Zag get Healey to balance sweetcorn on his eyebrows. This was a lovely little vignette, Iain - great read! Fucking Redwood at No 11 - Christ. :D

Aye - a very strange coincidence indeed! :D I did the title slide yesterday (it's hard to make out, but you can see Bevan's face in the foam of the Guinness glass!) There's a subtle Rab vs Rab reference as it happens, I felt that the Mail would hardly have avoided making one before it was...

AH Vignette: "Paint It, Black" “Action Today - Satisfaction Tomorrow!” The Prime Minister waved a hand dismissively, prompting his fresh-faced Private Secretary to turn the radio off. The Foreign Secretary signed inwardly, aware of the fact that many of the young man’s predecessors had been...

Delighted to see this finally come into fruition Tom - everything that I had hoped for, and quite a bit more besides! Very dark, obviously, and a wonderful mixture of the realistic - but toyed with the hint that there may well be a higher-power at work here as well. I think that you've got...

FIVE Friday 8 May 2015 02:22am “...and with the vote from the North West now officially confirmed at the national count, we can see the reaction from Rowling HQ.” As the screen briefly panned over to an ecstatic crowd at Manchester Central, Dimbleby unsuccessfully gambled on having a swig of...

Oh, oh! A delightful little skit Ed, and (not that I mind them) considerably less dark than some of your previous ones. Even though you blurred it out, I noticed the dread face of Gove in the opening caption and realised what you were going for - inspired. I know you have worked for...
