Why the hell not - can't be much worse than our current leadership options. Bring barrels of ale this time instead of tea, though - promise we won't throw 'em overboard.

Woo hoo. Now we have a great excuse to waste time in The Shed
Internet use 'good for the brain' |
For middle aged and older people at least, using the internet helps boost brain power, research suggests.
A University of California Los Angeles team found searching the web stimulates centres in the brain that control decision-making and complex reasoning.
The researchers say this might even help to counter-act the age-related physiological changes than cause the brain to slow down
| so spending more time in The Shed will stop my brain slowing down and....
sorry, what was I saying again?

"chavette" may be an English thing (actually I suspect Jim just made it up) but surely Max Mosely is an international figure?
All this is just an indication of how Jim's mind works.
