Is this the beginning of a new verb 'to lumley' i.e. to present to the press a version of a private meeting that causes the other party acute embarrassment if they do not follow / act on what has been said in the press?
What a great verb! to lumley / he was lumleyed - I love it!
Should GPs give 'singing on prescription' by recommending to people, especially older people with mental health problems, that they might like to try joining a singing group, as there is a growing body of evidence to show singing can have great physical, mental and social health benefits....?
I think the British Government should apologise to the Palestinian people for the Balfour Declaration and all that has flowed from it. The suffering of generations of Palestinians and the insecurity of the people who live in what is now Israel all derive from this one terrible error in 1917. Our government's continued denial of responsibility for this is like a huge festering sore; more and more people are waking up to the truth and will keep picking at the sore. Let this Labour government begin by atoning at least in words for the wrong perpetrated by its predecessor under Lloyd George.
Well done Joanna Lumley.She has followed through on her principles and if that means yet more embarrassment for Brown and his government good . "To Lumley" is an exellent addition to our dictionary.
Listeners' Opinion Poll My Question is: In view of the current state of the world economy, should all businesses in the UK be compelled by law to become worker co operatives using a business model similar to the very successful John Lewis Partnership?
Joanna Lumley has stood by her principles and hopefully will succeed in her on going campaign for justice to the Gurkha soldiers who deserve a great injustice be put right,could we now deport the four hundred and fifty thousand illegal immigrants who are here and who have not given two hundred years of loyalty to the crown.
The dangers, uses and potential threats posed by the chemical Dihydrogen Monoxide are widespread, and some feel terrifying. Here is just a small taste of what Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is:
* Some call Dihydrogen Monoxide the "Invisible Killer" * Dihydrogen Monoxide is linked to gun violence * Dihydrogen monoxide was found at every recent school shooting * Athletes use DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE, or DHMO, to enhance performance * Dihydrogen Monoxide has been found in our rivers, lakes, oceans and streams * Dihydrogen Monoxide is a major component of acid rain * Thousands die each year after inhaling dihydrogen monoxide * Dihydrogen Monoxide can be deadly
So, ask the public: "Should Dihydrogen Monoxide be banned?" (Oh, and keep a tally of anyone who can correctly identify the chemical's more common alias without prompting)
mittfh @ 9, and as Private Eye pointed out some years ago, every single cancer victim can be shown to have ingested DHMO, clearly indicating that if they avoided it completely, they wouldn't die of cancer.

Surely the contributor worrying about cats out after dark should be asking for a 'Purr-few'?

TRW - it takes up very little space when dehydrated - e.g. for a trek across the desert.

Why not a UK wide referendum on Scottish independence? I'm sure the majority of English voters would supply that little nudge.
