Sleekit:

Sleekit is generally used nowadays to describe a crafty or untrustworthy person, though it can also be used in the literal sense ‘smooth, glossy’. The ‘wee, sleekit, cowrin, tim’rous beastie’ of Robert Burns’ poem, To a Mouse (1785), is both skilful and sleek.

by all accounts it has been a bad year for the haggis, the RSPCH reported lower than usual breeding pairs and more youngsters than usual being snatched by the rare Haggis-Eagle, Mr Wee Shooeeemcphee spokesperson for the RSPCH said:-

well we cant be sure what he said (we had no interpreter) but his picture of one haggis says it all

common highlands haggis (tastus crapus maximus)

used to have the ability to fly but having been commercially reared for so many years it has lost its wings, said to have genetalia not unlike a human female (source - lonely scottish crofters)

Notice that the legs on the left of the body are shorter than the right, this is so it can balance properly as it runs anti clockwise around the hills.
To capture a fully grown adult you have to come at it from the opposite direction this will force it to turn and become unbalanced so making capture easy-er

Back to the thread's title. :roll: :roll:


Dear constituent,

Thank you for taking the trouble to contact me about the MPs’ expenses issue. The proposals being put to Parliament came from a Cross Party Committee in Parliament within which there was Cross Party support for its recommendations.

Since then though, there has sadly been some political games with the Conservatives deciding to withdraw their support. As the Cross Party consensus on this has collapsed, I am pleased that the Prime Minister has announced that these changes will not proceed.

I am away on Parliamentary business this week so I was not yet fully aware of the detail contained within the proposals. I am sorry if I responded to you earlier thinking that this was on the subject that had previously arisen of protecting MPs and their Staff’s personal addresses. I am personally perfectly happy for details of my expenditure to be public, and had I not been away on Parliamentary business this week, would, as I always do, have looked at the detail of the proposals before the vote, and on the basis of what I now hear of them, I would not have supported them.

It certainly helps that individuals such as yourself have taken the trouble to sign up to this campaign because it has highlighted what the proposals contained. It can only help MPs such as myself when we examine the detail when such proposals come before the House.

Yours sincerely,

Des Turner MP

I smell fear from the MPs... them that would have Voted "Aye" may just have no need of Expenses after the next General election as they'll be on the dole like the rest of britain..they've realised that its better we know what they are spending it on than not getting all the lovely freebies at all... :roll:

I'd be quite happy for MP's to be paid more, pay peanuts, you get the inevitable results we see today in the form of the Labour Government.

What Captain of a major industry would work for £100K?

None.

Pay better wages, get better leaders.
