I tried to Google "Missing medieval servant".
It came up with: "Page not found"!

What is that in Bobs left arm?

I was really starting to go along with it being one of those bacon thingies (a gigantic one  ), but I am afraid it is a scarf of sorts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAXtO5dMqEI[^]

I believe you are correct!

I think he probably needs to sit down, with those skinny legs I don't think that he works much on his quads!

Whether you agreed with his politics or not, you had to admire the fact that he actually had principles that he believed in and stood by. Source[^]

Indeed. Mind you, that probably won't stop DD gloating...

You were wrong, apparently.
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

In this case, I do not mind in the least being wrong...

An oddity for me.
I was diametrically opposed to his politics, and yet I respected the man for having the conviction he sustained throughout his life.
He was a rarity in politics, someone who asked questions and never tried to hide the answers he disliked, indeed he even admitted it when he got things wrong.
I wrote to him many years ago and got a charming (handwritten) letter back. He is one of the last of the old school politicians, a man who never wavered, never jumped on bandwagons or tried to bend in the wind. He was never a flavour of the month politician, but at least you were never in doubt as to where he stood on any issue.
He will be missed by many from the whole spectrum of politics.
RIP Tony.

I'll balance you out on this one, perhaps we can assuage each-other's guilt.
I had a similar respect for Enoch Powell*. I heard him speak & debate at the Durham Union Society, on the subject of Northern Ireland. During the debating section he was obviously showing signs of age, it took a few seconds for questions to register and for him to think about a response, but the reply was always incredibly lucid and properly thought-through. He repeatedly demolished someone in my year & college who kept trying to make a "clever" point, it was like watching the intellectual equivalent of an ant showing off in front of a steamroller. In his heyday he must have been first-rate.
Obviously, I should point out I don't agree with his politics at all, but had a sneaking regard for the man.
*To broach the thorny topic of the "Rivers of Blood" speech - I suggest reading it in its entirety, to quote wikipedia "The future Labour Michael Foot remarked to a reporter that it was "tragic" that this "outstanding personality" had been widely misunderstood as predicting actual bloodshed in Britain, when in fact he had used the Aeneid quotation merely to communicate his own sense of foreboding."

I had the pleasure of meeting him many years ago at a demonstration.
I suspect one of the last true conviction politicians to enter Westminster. Nowadays it seems to be run on hot air.

I met him once at a reception and very pleasant he was too; this was about 5 years ago. Fascinating man who was able to empathise with most and yet never compromised on his own beliefs.
