I'm a Politician, Please don't Waterboard me Again!" would be a hit.

As can a lot of the rest of the world. I get it.
However, it's either I fine tune the warning to specifically define "Discussions about Politics" and "Discussions about Everyday Things That Happen To Revolve Around Politics" and the difference between having a laugh and grinding one's axe, or I just, for the purposes of sanity, say "how about we step over here and discuss this away from the gentle-folk, lads".
It's been a long day.

I've unlocked this thread because it's about Dave. One of our own.
I trust you all to keep the conversation about how rigged it all was and how he should have got the guernsey because he's such a fine upstanding lad and not to devolve this into, say, actual politics.
cheers

I thought that was Aeschylus?
Valerius Maximus wrote that he was killed outside the city by a tortoise dropped by an eagle which had mistook his head for a rock suitable for shattering the shell of the reptile.
"These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined."

Well...he was certainly slow after the tortoise dropped in to visit...

Not sure if it's official, but I think we can, for all intents and tortoises, accept it as fact.
