Pop the question, friend

Eggshell promises -
grab them with both hands, they'll break.
Yuk all over you.

  7. if only they'd leave the governing to bloggers. We'd know so much better, wouldn't we.
    perhaps we wouldn't tell quite so many lies, make quite so many empty promises, line our pockets quite so efficiently.

    This may sound like a joke, but I am really quite desperate about it all.

  10. All
    Once again, many thanks to everyone for those exceptionally kind words. I must say that I was quite taken with Friko's idea of bloggers taking over the governing. Also Steven's pun and Carl's (my) pen - which, actually has just run out. More yuk!
