Wake up together occasionally with a screaming hangover, not knowing how they got there. Don't speak to each other for a few days after.

Got it in one Monty. Best if it stays platonic or you can end up moving a few times.Montreal Wanderer wrote:Thanks - I think I get it now. A purely platonic economically sensible relationship except when you drink too much. Then things happen and you wake up looking like Crazy Horse.

Yeah I woke up with a massive hangover this morning after our all-day piss up and barbecue! Recovering by having another barbecue today...CrazyHorse wrote:Separate rooms, share the bills.Montreal Wanderer wrote:The girl I live with. Hmmm! Student dosser?

It seems that you are in good company with all the other members who have a good mop: Dr Hotdog, Batman, Henrik's Fan Club, Epitaph, Dave Sutton's Barnet, Tangodancer and now Verbal all sporting plenty of hair....mofgimmers wrote:I'm so glad that I've leafed through this thread again...
I've been in stitches watching everyone get torn to bits! Tremendous stuff!
Another common theme: Mummy comes across as being older than he actually looks.

Beat me to it. I eagerly await the scientific study proving that being right-wing causes premature ageing.mofgimmers wrote:That's because you're a Tory.mummywhycantieatcrayons wrote:It seems that you are in good company with all the other members who have a good mop: Dr Hotdog, Batman, Henrik's Fan Club, Epitaph, Dave Sutton's Barnet, Tangodancer and now Verbal all sporting plenty of hair....mofgimmers wrote:I'm so glad that I've leafed through this thread again...

He's almost faultless as a political commentator these days and is a very different man to the one who wrote "The Future of the Right" in 1995. He's become significantly less right wing since he realised that he wasn't that 'future' too.....warthog wrote:Good stuff.

I have to disagree with that, although I do welcome his distancing from the loony element . Portillo can't make his mind up whether he wants to be a journalist or a politician and until he makes that decision he won't excel at either. Anyway, I'm about to open my second bottle of vino, so we can continue this at another time.mummywhycantieatcrayons wrote:He's almost faultless as a political commentator these days and is a very different man to the one who wrote "The Future of the Right" in 1995.

He's very firmly decided to be a political journalist, and he is excelling at that. I don't think (having met him) that he is at all tempted to give up on the lucrative career and stressless life that he has carved out for himself as a non-politician.warthog wrote:I have to disagree with that, although I do welcome his distancing from the loony element .

Even in the unlikely event of Cameron leading the Conservatives to a decisive win in the next General Election, followed by the offer of a top cabinet post to Portillo, I still don't think he would accept it.
