labour are getting a bigger boost in the polls than they were, remember when gordon brown had days left before getting shanked and now he's the brave poond man again. mind you, never underestimate labour's ability to gently caress themselves over for little apparent reason.

Two years is a lifetime in politics, remember last summer when Brown was riding high in the polls and set for snap-election victory. If by 2010 we've sort of survived the recession through endless Brown spending, and the Tories still being a complete load of slimy unlikeable scumbags, it could well be a hung parliament or narrow Labour win.

He did take a controlling stake in Royal Bank of Scotland and of course nationalised Northern Rock. But yeah, he totally should have nationalised every bank that wanted government aid, and not with this stupid 'temporary mandate' bullshit.

How to Take a Shower Its important to know what you are really supposed to do while in the shower. It may seem pointless, but taking a shower properly can get you cleaner and healthier!!!! Steps 1. Turn on the light, enter the bathroom, and close the door. Then you might want to take off your clothing and any jewelry that will rust. If you lock the door, be aware that if you fall or are injured while showering, it will take longer for assistance to reach you. Consider leaving it unlocked, if you live alone or with people whom you trust. 2. Position the mat or rug near the tub or shower stall, for you to stand on when you get out. 3. Remove your clothes. Place your clothes in an area where they will not get wet. (The toilet is not the best place, as it can harbour germs.) 4. Turn on the water to your preferred temperature. Check the position of the shower head, to be sure that water is spraying downward rather than out of the enclosure. 5. Check the temperature frequently and as soon as the temperature is correct, carefully step into the shower. 6. Pull the shower curtain closed, or shut the door, to prevent water from getting on the floor. If your shower has a curtain, check to ensure that the shower curtain is inside the tub. If it falls outside, water will drip to the floor and can damage the house. 7. Wet your entire body. Make sure your whole head is wet. Massage a small amount of shampoo into your scalp. You need to gently rub each part of your scalp, making sure all the strands are sudsy. Shampooing your hair is more to clean the scalp, than to clean the hair. Do not let it sit too long. 8. Thoroughly rinse all of the shampoo out of your hair. (Repeating is usually not necessary, and can dry out or irritate the scalp, causing dandruff.) Next, apply conditioner, and let it sit for two to three minutes. 9. Wet your washcloth well. Put a small amount of facial soap onto the washcloth and clean your face. Leave a corner of the cloth without soap, so that you can wipe the soap out of your eyes. The water should still be running at this point. 10. Pour your bath soap onto your washcloth, and scrub yourself all over. It is best at the hands and feet. Remember to wash behind the ears, back of the neck, and in between each toe. Make sure you are cleaning under each arm pit, your private area, and in between your butt crack. This may embarrass you, but remember: No one can see you clean yourself in the shower. These are important areas that can make you smell bad if you do not clean daily. 11. Rinse off the conditioner and soap, you may need to run your hands through your hair and make sure all the conditioner is rinsed out. If you do not wash out all the conditioner, this will make your hair greasy. 12. Give yourself a final rinse. You may wish to turn the water to a cooler temperature to close your pores and refresh yourself. 13. Rinse the tub or shower stall so that there is no sign of your visit other than drops of water. Be sure all hairs, soap, and shower debris is washed down the drain. 14. Turn off the water, make sure it is turned off tightly. 15. If you have long hair, squeeze it out in the shower. Do this gently to avoid hurting your head or damaging your hair. Do not twist the hair to wring it out, this causes split ends. The hair is more prone to stretching and damage when it is wet. 16. Do not rub the towel on your hair, this damages the hair. Only pat and squeeze the towel on your hair. Next, gently pat dry your face, neck, and arms, then your stomach and back. It is best to pat as this is most gentle to your skin. Do not vigorously rub as this damages the skin. 17. Exit the shower. Standing on the rug or mat, gently dry your pelvic region, legs, and feet. If you have done this carefully, the only water should be on the shower mat or rug, not on the rest of the floor. 18. Put your clean clothes on, starting with clean underwear and bra, followed by clean clothes and socks. 19. This is a good time to clean your ears with a cotton swab, as the waxy substance in your ears is softer from the heat and water and is more easily removed. This also helps to remove excess water from the ears. Take care to avoid inserting the swab too deeply, as this can cause damage. 20. Pull the shower curtain most of the way closed again to facilitate drying, while leaving it open slightly to allow air to circulate between the stall and the rest of the room. This will inhibit the growth of mildew on the shower curtain. 21. When you exit the bathroom, turn off the light, and leave the door wide open to allow the water vapor to escape. Tips Energy conservation Before you begin your shower: do not turn on the water while you are still dressed. This wastes water. Only turn on the water once you are nude and completely prepared to enter the shower. During the steps where you are not rinsing, conserve water by turning the shower off. The water will still be warm by the time you are ready to rinse off. Health and enjoyment Make sure that the water is not too warm, if it is too warm it can dry out your skin. If you have very sensitive skin and are blessed with privacy, lightly towel-dry to remove excess moisture and then let your skin dry naturally, without clothes. This is a great way to avoid irritating the skin. Do not comb or brush your hair in the shower, as when hair is wet, it is fragile. Wait until it is dry. Enjoyment Spice up your shower with some interesting music or a new product. Singing while showering: A good idea, so long as it does not extend the length of your shower and the amount of water you use. Consider whether singing will bother anyone in your house. Going barefoot for a few minutes after your shower feels very good; this is a good incentive to keep your house's floors clean. Household considerations Most bathrooms have "exhaust fans" installed in them. These fans suck out the steam either during your shower, or after your shower to help prevent the formation of mold, stop the mirror from fogging up, keeps your bathroom drier and helps you get dry more quickly. Just be sure to turn it off before you leave the bathroom; as it wastes electricity to leave it on. When you are finished, check the shower for hairs, especially if you're shaving, clean the counters and other surfaces, and remove your clothes and other belongings from the bathroom. Don't leave a mess for the next person to tidy up. Warnings! Do not use ANY electrical appliances in the shower! This includes hair dryers, cell phones, radios: anything with a power cord or battery should never be used in the bath or shower. If water gets on or in an electrical appliance, it can electrocute you, causing serious injury or death. Locking the door provides privacy, but consider that if you fall in the shower or become hurt, a locked door will delay emergency services from reaching you. If you live with people whom you trust, consider not locking the door. Do not start the water until any animals are clear of the shower. Cats sometimes like to sit in the shower stall, so look before starting the water. Be careful getting in and out of the shower so you don't slip and hurt yourself. When applying shampoo, conditioner, or facial soap, take care not to get soap into either of your eyes, as it would be painful. Set up a privacy policy with roommates regarding shower and bathroom use. Things you will need! Things You'll Need Shampoo Conditioner (optional) Soap Facial soap (optional) Washcloth (optional) Body sponge/brush (optional) Razor and shaving gel or cream (optional) Towel Floor mat A shower Clean clothes This is brought to you from your friends in the colonies

Quebec lost $30 billion alone, that's just one province of canada, the second most populated province, but still just shy of 8 million folk. For comparison that would effectively be the same as Gordon Brown announcing they just wiped $225 billion off the UK Pension funds. Why the over-50 population of Canada isn't up in arms rebelling against the government making GBS threads on their retirement I don't know, I know in Britain there'd be murder for that kind of governance.
