@kirstykakanskas I remember when we were all Europhiles. This new norm displeases me.

I'm sure Chris Grayling will do an excellent job. I left him a note about how to protect Hush Puppy-makers from vexatious litigation.

Dave and Nick going to IKEA was such a cop out. I was in Cabinets before they were flat pack. They can't fix furniture or the economy.
