True grit

I've only just discovered my colleague, Paul Flynn's blog, and may I belatedly salute his courage, his indefatigability, etc... 700 comments on s**king, and he's still going strong. Also definitely not someone who could be tagged in any way as being in the pocket of 'Big Pharma' (see numerous posts).

Interesting to read that, having started off as a sceptic on GM crops, he's now agnostic, which is more or less where I stand too. Paul Collier wrote something on this for the Guardian the other day, in response to Prince Charles' - 'let them eat Duchy Originals' - comments.

Paul has just come 11th in Iain Dale's poll on blogging MPs, with yours truly in 8th place. I feel slightly embarrassed by that...

S**king?

Soaking? Seeking? Sinking? Staking? Spiking? Sulking? Stoking? Smoking? Shaking? Sucking? Slaking? All innocuous enough. Have I missed one?

How long did it take you to do that? Are you an insomniac?

Mentioning smoking is just asking for trouble.

It didn't take long. And I am! Are you?

Yes!
