I also think that putting Lord Saachi in as party chairman is a bad idea, because, as leader of M&C Saachi, he is going to ...
I think that having one spokesperson in charge of both health and education is a big mistake. The public want improved public services, and to be appearing to say that each of these departments is so small that they can both be organised by one person, will make the public see that the Conservatives...

It would be like celebrating your birthday a month before your birthday But your birthday actually commemorates a specific number of exact years since your birth - so it is tied to being at a particular time of year...
[s] Ewan Husami wrote on 17:30, 9th Nov 2003: But when they're "celebrating" Christmas 2 months before Christmas, there seems little point to me. Why? What's so special about the end of December that Christmas can only be celebrated then? There's no particular reason why anyone should celebrate Chri...

If you see Christmas as purely a religious festival to remember the birth of Christ, why does it matter that people start celebrating early? If you are religious in that way, then you are presumably celebrating the birth of Christ all the time - I don't see why it matters that the festivities surrou...

It seems the library is going to be open until 11:30pm on Mondays-Thursdays between 17th November and 18th December, which is great news! And they'll be open on Sundays until 9pm!

Although I agree that the homosexuality rule seems a bit odd, they have to be very careful about which blood they take. For example they also don't take blood from anyone who has lived in a malarial country, even though lots of people from malarial countries do not have malaria, but the risk of some...
