What I did notice is that at least one hardcore Labour council seat has been lost to Lib Dems in recent bi-elections; I'm talking a 30yrs+ Labour safeseat. Turnout was very low though. If turnout at election time is low, Lib Dems could be in for a treat! Hmmm, I’m not sure.

Hinduism does have concepts like Ahimsa, for instance, and Gandhi based his non-violence on Hinduism to some extent too, I think. But I guess, just like the violence here in Northern Ireland has little to do with sects of Christianity, the "religious" violence elsewhere has little to do with religion either.

Hahhah, now I just have to improve it rather than screwing it up :D Hmm.. I guess it could have been NI-only, but there were lots of American and English celebrities in it, so I figured it was at least national. Not sure. Don't know on Tony either. I'm still hoping for a groundswell of rebellious anger on his war, but having been amazed to hear that my dad approves of his actions, I fear a lot of other people outside my usual circles might feel the same way :( Thanks.

It hasn't been true in the past and it isn't true today. One of the misconceptions people have about India is that they imagine that Hindus are by and large a nonviolent people.

My favourite work of his is The Importance of Being Earnest. I’m a big Wilde fan as well, and I was watching a documentary on him the other day – I believe it was called Wit’s End.

I didn't notice a programme about Oscar Wilde tonight. Could it have been a BBC Ulster only show? We got a docu-drama of Robert Louis Stevenson's life, which I think may have been only shown on BBC Scotland. Bought Oscar Wilde's complete works for a great price in Bargain Books a few years back. Love 'The Picture of Dorian Gray'. He was certainly a beautiful writer. You think Tony will get back in? I'm hoping for a Lib-Lab coalition. *crosses fingers* *all impressed* That face modelling looks great!
