    Not a good start from Senator Gorst but the alternative of Senator Bailhache sends shivers down the spine and would have put Jersey back a couple of hundred years.

    Un-elected Deputy Pryke has to be removed from Health and replaced by Senator Ferguson. Politically the Senator and I could not be further apart but the woman does have a set of Gonads and a rather large set at that.

    She'll not be lead by the Civil Servants and would whip that place into shape in no time.

  2. I was dreading how interesting sir Phil would have made our times, so I don't think I want to complain too much about getting bland instead.

  3. I don't agree. I thought that initially, but I don't think Senator Ferguson would be good for the hospital. She would probably want to privatise everything. But, let's not judge prematurely.

  4. Do you agree she's got a big pair of gonads?

  5. Monty you are wrong Sarah has a huge set of gonads and would waste no time in bouncing them off the heads of civil servants to get them into shape.

  6. Monty, are you saying you've got a bigger set of gonads than Sarah?
