Bloody Ada! I thought it was a secret society.
The proposal for Mr James Henderson is duly noted but it should be 
pointed out that the coffers of the Great British branch of PovCon do 
not run to expenses. I depleted them last night getting a hackney cab to 
the Three Tuns, a place of some disrepute. More on that later.
What the (far) Right Honourable gentleman has forgotten due to his 
dotage. Is that when his term in office expires, so does he. Unfortunate 
but there it is (we have had trouble in the past and that is the best 
solution we have come up with). This term of office might become vacant 
soon if the Right Honourable gentleman does not stop taunting the callow 
youth of this fair country by playing his telephonic ring tone to 
demonstrate that he is a supporter of an opposing football team. 
(Woops!, I, need, to, up, my, comma, count,.)
Let it also be known that I will continue to use my nom de guerre here 
and in other places to avoid confusion.
Now back to why I was only three minutes early at the Three Tuns.
For those who remember Steve Paget (St) his name lives on in his 
grandson. I spoke to his son last night and his child is a healthy ten 
months old and is called Steve, too.
Endit.
