When asked by backbencher Ron Brind ( MP for Lewis, Central & South ) what the PM thought of the state of the country today, Mr Brown scanned his papers and had to finally admit, " I haven't a clue what's going on anymore".

Well, when I've visited the Tower of London, they've always let me out in one piece.Unfortunately, the last time I mailed a post card from there and accidentally stuck the stamp on upsidedown, I was promptly charged with treason. At least the good news is if the axeman misses on the first try, I can put in a compensation claim for industrial injury.The Queens Council had advised me to marry an accountant quick. I said, Why, will it make me live longer? No, but it will feel like it! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Lucky you didn't tear the stamp in two and decapitate the Queen, which is what i've done more than once in my job, you get beheaded for that! LOL My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

That's another thing I like about England; over the centuries, some things just never seem to change. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
