therealpmLabour no longer the party with the most internal drama. Gave all Tories blistering hangovers to celebrate (that should confuse Theresa May).
Progress on The Machine:NOT the gadget, Paddy, thanks so much. Ordered new valves from Swagelok. Hopefully solid silver fittings will reduce thaumic leaks.

Date: 2011-01-09 11:49 am (UTC)Mr Laws, I have no intention of delving into your personal life, you know I guard mine with equal vigour; I would merely point out that personal conflicts cost New Labour very dear. They reduce one's own and one's party's ability to function and the Liberal Democrats cannot afford one, let alone two, important members to be operating at sub-optimum efficiency.

Date: 2011-01-09 02:20 pm (UTC)Good luck with the new fittings for the gadget, by the way. I'm sure thaumic leaks are definitely to be avoided.

Date: 2011-01-09 02:25 pm (UTC)I know you're deliberately trying to wind me up.Thank you, thaumic leaks from the The Machine can have nasty side effects; turning the floor to custard, that sort of thing. Gets messy.

Date: 2011-01-09 02:29 pm (UTC)How's Tony these days? I haven't heard from him for a while.
Not that I still miss him. Dammit.Oh dear yes, can't have that! Of course you have to preserve health and safety while meddling with forces man was not meant to understand.

Date: 2011-01-09 02:37 pm (UTC)I believe he's enjoying himself, out in the Middle East.
He doesn't answer the phone, probably busy.I'm glad we agree. There are only so many buckets of custard one can pass off as Eamon Holmes's pudding before the staff start getting suspicious.

Date: 2011-01-09 02:44 pm (UTC)Ah, that would explain why he's not returning my calls.
I wonder how he's doing.Did you really? Well, waste not, want not, I suppose. I hope it was good-quality custard.

Date: 2011-01-09 03:01 pm (UTC)And sooner or later we'll end up appointing the right one.Yes, your last one was a bit much. I was exhausted just trying to follow it; I can't imagine how much work it must have been trying to control the outcome.
What did happen there, by the way. It didn't look like the outcome you were hoping for--or are you playing a long game as usual?
