    Now, it looks like you guys are actually, really going to go Bojo Part Deux. And this isn't going to end as well as the original Part Deux: Hot Shots Part Deux.

    I feel for you, and for all of us. This is not good at all.
    The thing is, if it were just the choice of the Tory MPs, they’d pick Sunak, who can at least do basic maths.

    Unfortunately, when the MPs have come up with the shortlist, it goes to the wider party membership. So if Johnson gets the necessary 100 nominations to stay in the game, there’s a good chance he gets re-elected, despite still under investigation for misleading Parliament, which could result in him being expelled from Parliament.

    Because somehow - and this concept seems almost impossible to comprehend - the average grass-roots member of the Tory party is a lot less discerning and intelligent than the average Tory MP.

    Hey, Iron - sorry to hear about your dad's experience, but it's good that it's looking up again. The flu is no joke.

    Glad your dad is recovering, Twister. Can't imagine how scary things must have been for a bit.

    Yeah, sorry to hear about your dad, Twister, but really glad he’s on the mend.

    This is a perfect example of why I get really pissed when people have a heavy cold and describe themselves as having ‘a touch of flu’. If you’ve ever had flu, you’ll know it’s NOTHING like a heavy cold.

    Agreed. I’ve had some strain of flu twice, and H1N1 once.

    Flu, for me, means ‘lie in bed and feel like I’m waiting to die.’

    …plus pneumonia, with one of them.

    Thanks again everyone. It was really quite some a weak but I'm glad it's past and it just feels so fortunate nothing happened other than a morning stay in the hospital for my Dad.
