I was watching the news tonight and saw the clip with John Prescotts house
being invaded by the Greenpeace activists. I noticed the mock tudor features of the house and the turret type structures and just thought WOW......where can I get those. And I always thought that fat piece of **** had no style....... Off to builders merchants at the weekend to get meself some fake turrets to put on our roof.......they always say if you can't beat em' join the *******s. |

I live not too far away from the man in question, and there are quite a few houses with odd features like that in the area. There's one with cinderella-style pointy turrets. Sutton is an old village which has been slowly surrounded by council estates, it's a strange contrast. -- Tim Mitchell |

I wonder if he has a licence to crenellate ... and which Part will cover the work ... He's also reported as saying, "Wives shouldn't be there for terrorising." That raises two questions: a) what does he think wives ARe for? b) who IS there for terrorising? Mary |

That raises two questions: a) what does he think wives ARe for? b) who IS there for terrorising? The whole story, as reported in the local paper, was quite humorous. The Greenpeace people went to the (armed) police guarding the place and told them what they were going to do, and the police allowed them in!! A greenpeace spokesman was quoted as saying "The police were very professional about it, and so were we." -- Tim Mitchell |

He has a problem about his syntax when speaking; probably dyslexic to some degree. I recall the Tory benches mocking him, which was a real low thing to do to someone who has any sort of affliction, no matter how minor, who were laughing about his syntax. He responded brilliantly about their tax. I'm voting for Tony.

They are lower than whale ****. His affliction is only slight anyhow. They were also probably mocking his working class accent too, as he doesn't sound like a queer. _________________________________________ Usenet Zone Free Binaries Usenet Server More than 120,000 groups Unlimited download http://www.usenetzone.com to open account |

Err, he is trying to get re elected locally so I suspect his 'staff' could well be his local election organisers etc. along with his PA. As for two Jags, get your fact correct, he owns one and the other is his Ministerial car. I'm not stating one way or the other my personal opinions about the man or the protest above, just the (probable) facts. |

Until I read this post, and it's pathetic follow-ups, I had not recognised Mr. Prescott as being a model of sophistication and master of the english language. Thank you diMM (In name as in brain ) , Now I know that British politicians are superior to some British electors. |

You may find that you can construct messages with meaning if you pay attention to the meanings of the words which you use. If you do this you may be pleasantly surprised by finding that people pay attention to what you write. In a spirit of helpfulness, I suggest that you consult a dictionary , if you have one. if you don't have one then consult a friend, if you have one. Best wishes |
