Who on earth is this villainous Bob "Crowe" (sic)? Could you be
confusing him with Bob Crow of the RMT, who holds no public office? And
how do you "loose" sleep anyway? [Presumably this is the opposite of
"tight" sleep, enjoyed before waking up with a hangover?]


Oooh , typos. Wow, a couple of killer repost there mate, tell us your secret
why don't you!

I don't like Bob Crow any more than you do, but I do get fed up with the
repeated misspelling of his name, along with George Osborne (not
Osbourne).

Lunching on a Russian oligarch's yacht, perhaps?

Oh, silly me, that was Peter Mandyperson. �;-)


I heard Crow on the local news this evening - he's again jumping on
the "elf'nsafety" banwagon, regarding track inspections on the Jubilee
Line. Clearly his overpaid members are looking for some more Christmas
shopping time in which to spend their inflated paypackets!

I think the idea is to get their pay so high that they can afford
several weeks on strike each year in support of Brother Crow's
political agenda.

And to think that he was overlooked in the trawl to find a suitable
candidate for President of the E.U.!
