World Cup: engage Grinch mode now!
Greg, I am not sure that I would entirely trust a story in the Daily Telegraph on that subject, they may be written from an office in Upminster, but the facts are likely sustainable. There's certainly a lot of evidence of something dodgy in Tower Hamlets. That story sounds a little dubious: what would you be doing with a box of postal ballots so long after the election?

...(except for elephant polo on ice skates, which oughta be fun, as long as the elephants give their informed consent beforehand)... I'm not sure why nobody mentioned this already, but it's been experimentally proven that elephants can be taught to roller skate. (Yes, really.) Back in the 1980s in Ojai California a local eccentric took her pet elephant out roller skating, which is not something you see in every town.
