Its the most interesting thing he has ever done. So on that logic I guess his collapse in the House of Commons must be Flynns most interesting moment...

It is almost five months since I retired George Gallohasbeen from the role on this blog equivalent to the Fool in a Morris Dancing Troup (OK: "side"), who adds to general mirth by simply making an appearance. I have been looking for a replacement, and I think I have found one in the person of Paul Flynn, MP for Newport West. Paul has come out with the following: J.K Rowling has sprinkled some stardust...
