P yu crakin me up. I know where yu coming fram, but me haffi agree that just by hanging around beyond his departure date, Uncle hurt us big time. In a country where voters in GE vote more for the party leader than for the party itself, that clearly is an opinion that is shared by hundreds of thousands on de rock.

You are so right, Sis HR...our capacity for enduring pain is the stuff of which legends are made. That, by itself, will not save us from the utter humiiation of insolvency and bankruptcy. And that, I think, is the key issue. How much more humiliation must we face as a nation before a true leader emerges to put the country back on sound financial footing?

I would like to revisit some of those predictions that were made here...I recall there was one about the Royal family. I think I said nothing was likely to happen in 2003 at Buckingham Palace that would be newsworthy. Lo and behold, Charles go get him name mix up inna gay rumor!!

Mango, I need to speak to you.
