You've not been there long my friend but you have the grasp of being a Secretary of State already! To you!

Barkeep - Brandy on the rocks please - and whatever the Northern Ireland Secretary wants - *make it a double - he will need it!*

I for one am very happy with the way Oliver has "handled" you Robert. No retreat, no surrender to the IRA! We do not talk about anything with scumbag murderers, and if I was this nations point man in Ulster I would be rounding the lot of them up! If they don't like it they can move South with the rest of their papist ilk!

I would like to see a shoot to kill policy by the RUC, that would make the buggers think twice. They come with dusters, we come with a knife, they come with a knife, we come with a pistol until we get to a stage where we outgun and out think the buggers!

Typical Conservative - by denying the other we deny ourselves! Surely even you must see that?

Can I offer you a drink, maybe to clear your thoughts!

You would have us sit down and talk with murderers, in public, and forget what they have done? Without even a general consensus being made with the South on how to deal with these killers, on both sides I might add. You would deny that Ulster is 110% British...

You are out of your mind!!!

And yet you would continue to allow them to kill in the name of their cause just so we can outgun the buggers? You cannot wipeout terrorism, the best you can do is surpress it. They do not have HQ's to bomb, estates to overrun, and outposts to destroy - they infiltrate us at all levels and strike at the heart of society. That is why we must discuss with them the end of their reign of terror, lest we lose more innocent lives to Conservative pride!

Charles, the Irish are committed to tackling the IRA. Even in the 1940's they were hanging and shooting IRA-men.

Boy, this is heated. They wouldn't allow this sort of language in the Carlton Club!

Not in public, anyway.

You really are quite obsessed with the Carlton Club. There are hardly Satanic rituals going on there.

Indeed. Just some genteel smoking and parliament-dodging.

Whatever the Labour lot smoke you might want to give the the Cabinet too! Might chill them out a bit

No wonder I dodge Parliament. Every time I show my face it's like I'm a pantomime villian.

You really do believe that alcohol is the solution to all of life's problems, don't you?

Nope only to conservative ones...

What's the solution to Liberal problems? Heroin?

Action my dear friend - something which the Conservatives have yet to discover

Liberals haven't seen any action since the turn of the century...

I guess the first 22 years doesn't count then? *rolls eyes*

What can I get you Mister Hill?

The Tories and Liberals both seem to have an unhealthy obsession with illicit narcotics around these parts. I fear to wonder what they serve at the Constituency meetings!

It seems the British people weren't too impressed, in the end.

A whiskey please, Mr Murphy.

And we'll see whether or not they will be impressed in future Mister Hill, when the next election arrives

Barkeep, whiskey for my good friend.

Mister Grey, if I recall it was your lot smoking the weed not ours!!

Haha, well if all the Right Honourables wandering around in here are to be believed Tory, Labour and Alliance are all closet Rastafarians. What happened to the good old days of accussations over sodomy and alcoholism?

Speaking of which, I'll have a rum if you don't mind barkeep.

Ah, those were the days.

Oh they're around My Gray - its just nowdays you have to have this damn thing called proof!

Stupid laws....

I'll drink to that!

Cheers! Here's to the old days of mindless accusations and crazy scandals!!

Heres to the Callaghan Government!!!

Very droll Eleanor. Drink?

Oh why not. Scotch please
