what does "duster headache suffering" mean?

7:08 AM, April 25, 2007

For your information, Cluster Headache is a rare neurological disease. Sufferers experience headaches that begin rapidly and reach such severity that they reduce grown men to tears. Neurologists who study the condition say that it is possibly the worst pain known to mankind. Yet the cause is unknown and there is no cure at present. To use "cluster headache" in the same context as nose picking and mincing is extremely offensive to CH suffers. What if the illness was MS or cystic fibrosis? Would you include it in the same way?

My wife, who is a nursery school teacher, says little boys can never get dressed properly. They put their clothes on back to front, tuck the wrong things into their trousers and generally cannot get their act together.

Little girls, apparently, get dressed rapidly and with remarkably dexterity.

Seems to contradict the rest of your posting.

Or did you mean "Don't go, Blair"?

Guido needs reminding.Only too pleased to help.

It is to win a fourth term.

When you wake up after the night before, it will not be your hangover that gives you the most grief, it will be the headlines.

I love the smell of Tory defeat before breakfast.

Sarah was pleased when her doctor told her that the infection that had been troubling her was responding to treatment.
"You know, we could also do something about that persistent sinusitis" he said. "It's a very simple procedure and you would be out of hospital the same day."
"I'd much rather you didn't" Sarah replied.

This riveting topic of the Brown sock inspires a brief spasm of deductive logic:

No information is given on what time the photo was taken, but the even lighting on the faces and the fact that the subjects are 'standing on their own shadows' implies a bright overcast a couple of hours either side of noon.

One would surmise that a prominent politician, surrounded constantly by acolytes and admirers, would be unlikely to get past 10 o'clock without such an obvious deficiency in his dress being brought to his attention.
One toyed briefly with the possibility that a trouser cuff may have temporarily lodged on a boot top (for lace-up high rise footwear this does indeed seem to be). Perhaps during the process of exiting a vehicle. However, experiment with suitably full-cut trousering and similar bootage disclosed a tendency for the cuff to catch on the front of the boot and hang down at the back or to catch at the back and hang down at the front but never did the observed 'bloused' effect occur.

One may well surmise that this is a man who has very recently changed his socks.
The question is of course, why?

Most of us leave home of a morning in the day's socks and return in the evening in the same pair. Some even make the same pair suffice for a couple of days without undue comment. So what sort of person is already on his second change of hosiery in the middle of the day?

One turns to the photograph accompanying the Friday Caption Competition and notes once again the schoolgirl theme. Could the two photographs have been taken on the same occasion? Alerted, one studies the physical isolation of the Chancellor. One is drawn to the grimace on Jowell's face. One turns to the leaping figure in the foreground and wonders if her flight is one of escape rather than athleticism?

Could another of the Member for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath's unfortunately not so well kept secrets be that he is the possessor of a pair of what can be colloquially described as 'stinky plates'? Could the tightly laced boots be an unsuccessful attempt to keep the hideous vapours in check? Given the greasy, unwashed hair and the unsavoury personal habits it would certainly be in character.

My submission for the Wednesday Caption Competition:

'Schoolgirl with fortunately severe head-cold cheerfully accompanies Chancellor after directing him to the staff cloak-room'

Can you get odds on Blair doing a u-turn and staying. In fact I'm surprised he hasn't already started making noises about needing to stay on to fix the woe. You heard it hear first.

The world of Guidos' was again today assailed with another wearisome posting by the thicko of the forum "Hitch"."Hitch" known for posting the same post again and again ad nauseam once more brought nothing new for the members to digest, and now merely observing the name "Hitch" is sufficient reason to ignore the twit and move on to more consequential comments.The usual obscenities however were in evidence although the saddo thinks that rearranging these same obscenities makes his effort positively riveting.

Quite so Hitch, you put it with your usual elegance and perspicacity. It might also have been said of them, "the wee timorous beastie with two backs."

The word verify is particularly apposite - "fujrj", presumably pronounced "fudgerudge".

a nod in the direction of the Daily Mirror's description of the Liberace as a

deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavored, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother love

If so, does anyone know if the two gentlemen connected in any other way?

I don't know why they are getting rid of Blair early but He must have done something Very Very Bad indeed for them to replace him with Gordo.

Most of them will lose their Jobs at the next election as a result of this, so it will be fascinating to find out what Blair did that was so wrong.

The obvious question that still remains unanswered is, just why does Gordon Tuck his trousers into his socks?

Chancellor then made another gaffe when he joked to a schoolboy: “I did maths at school and for one year at university.

“I don’t think I was ever very good at it — and some people would say it shows.”

2007-04-25T10:18:00.001+01:00

I just cannot get away from the following recurring thought:

With no obvious second candidate to stand againt Gordon Brown and the poll ratings for New Labour sinking fast the only way out is to take the nuclear option of having a leadership contest between Brown and Blair.

It could happen - with Blair pledging to hand over to whoever is the elected Deputy leader sometime after the next election. An election to sort out the Granita agreement once and for all and to allow David Miliband and others to stand for the leadership without having to go up against Gordon Brown directly.

I suspect the Parliamentary Labour Party might think this a good solution if John Reid says he really is not going to stand.
