I was trying to do a 'Help I'm about to be crushed by a giant bulldozer!' pose. Not very successfully by the look of it.

My blog = my rules!
As Monica says in Friends, "rules are good, rules help control the fun!"
First: if you're after a detailed response, please email or write to me. If you're a constituent (or perhaps a very special case), I'll respond; if you're not, you'll have to contact your own MP. Ditto if you want to introduce a subject which bears no relevance to my original post.
Second: I don't have a problem with trenchant criticism of me or the Government, or vociferously expressed opinions, but if I regard your comments as offensive I won't allow them to appear. (I don't like having to moderate comments, but have reluctantly come to the conclusion that people cannot be relied upon not to abuse my good nature!)

Thirdly: I might just randomly delete comments from certain people because I'm getting thoroughly fed up with them and want them to go away and annoy someone else for a while. You know who you are.
That's all - although I reserve the right to create new rules as and when I feel like it. My blog = my rules!From under the floorboards

As my two year old son knows, that's not a bulldozer it's a giant dump truck.
Tyred of life, are you?
Is 'giant dump truck' the technical term? I was going to refer to it as a 'tractor'.
There's some considerable debate over this, actually.
Wikipedia says:
"The term ‘Dump’ Truck is not generally used by the mining industry, or by the manufacturers that build these machines. The more appropriate US term for this strictly off road vehicle is, ‘Haul’ truck and the equivalent European term is 'Dumper'"
Meanwhile Liebherr, manufacturer of the T 282B (pictured?) seem to call it an 'AC drive truck'.
The two year old is standing by giant dump truck, mind.
I wonder why they're always painted yellow? To make them more conspicuous, seeing as it's so easy to miss one and tread on it?
I think it only fair to point out to readers that the tyre is normal sized and Kerry McCarthy MP is in fact only 5¼ inches tall (in heels). She refers to our world as Brobdingnag and travels between Westminster and her constituency in a kangaroo's pouch.
Any photos in which she appears to be almost normal size are crude Photoshop forgeries.
And if you should ever see a kangaroo hopping down the M4 you now have the explanation. You may even manage to spot Kerry’s head peeping out.
When I was last in Zambia (which is where this was taken) I was told that they'd started using yellow rafts for whitewater rafting down the Zambezi, because the hippos kept trying to mate with the grey ones.
Kerry, how about a caption competition?
My entry - Kerry goes walkabout with John Prescott (in his mobility scooter).
My researcher thought this was a Father Ted "small".... "far away" thing. (Dougal and the cows).
Your what?
"Kerry McCarthy greets Gordon's ego as it's transported into Bristol at the weekend"
You're not as tall as the cameras in the Houses of Parliament make you look, are you?
Not for the blog. I have a proper job too, and staff. They read my blog, surprisingly enough. They don't comment on it though because they're worried people will be mean to them.
Kerry isn't Old Holborn one of your staff using an alias?
