    Don't worry - much more likely to break into a lexical debated as to why the parliament is "hung" and not "hanged". :)

      Well, stables are generally pretty full of of something, and most governments are full of the same stuff, if from a different species! :laugh:

          Gene samples indicate primates.

          The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
          This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

              Let's never forget that one of us here ran off to become a politician, no matter with what success. Just a few days ago I contemplated doing the same.

                  A friend once said that one day they would elect me, the next day we would be at war with someone. He did not mean my chaotic alignment. He commented on my unpresidented diplomacy and love for compromise. :-)

                            "Hung" means blocked or suspended; "hanged" means capital punishment executed with a rope.

                            - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

                                      Don't worry - much more likely to break into a lexical debated as to why the parliament is "hung" and not "hanged". :)

                                      I can't think of a single reason why it should not be hanged. :)

                                        So - the constitution of the UK is unwritten and therefore takes some interpretation but as things stand unless and until a coalition can be formed the country is officially being run by the Queen, Hugh Grant and J K Rowling. Parliament has relocated to the beach front in Brighton and Fat Boy Slim is providing the tunes. Personally I hope this lasts.

                                        You know based on the decisions they made in the last few months, they would be better off were that the case.

                                          James May would do a better job.
