.................and it has only just started, so when it really starts hitting the fan his rating will fall dramatically. >:( >:( >:(

It's a funny thing with British Prime Ministers, but they can be temporarily seen by the British public as saviours like Chamberlain in 1938 or Churchill in 1944, Macmillan 1962, but then reality clicks in and that same public gives the big order of the boot! ::) ::) ::) 8-)

How can popularity get below zero.....do they allow for 'j' notation (sorry to those who dont know complex nmbers in maths but, it represents imaginary!)

Lol.....type fast and getting the meaning....spelling is nothing but a school requirement!  ;D

So, jwl or 1/jwc means nothing to you then  :y

In basic english.....we have a thing in maths called complex numbers.....this includes the part we all know and love (1,2,3 etc) and a bit most dont know called imaginary numbers (j notation where j=-10.5 or the square route of -1)

This is used a lot in electronics to describe phase etc in ac.....

You're not the only one.

My head hurts just recalling it. Complex maths lectures at university. Whoever decided to timetable that for 9:00 on Monday morning, when we had barely finished sobering up after the weekend, was a total sadist. :(

Just consider it as the phase angle.....maths is only a modeling technique for electronics anyway.

Think I must have been a bit sadistic as I realy liked advanced analogue!

In my opinion who ever has the job of PM has a pretty much impossible task trying to please everybody mainly because of the old adage "You can please some of the people some of the time but you can't please all of the people all of the time".

  Although having said that i do believe that Brown is a bit of a wet blanket and could do with a serious amount of life illumination :(.

The thing is that a PM's job is as a Public Figure, somebody who can communicate well and has a level of confidence about their persona.....you need some one who can go to other countries to represent the UK and not end up looking like some wet fart!

The queen does this very well!

Dont need to please all of the people all of the time,just enough people in the key marginals on  polling day.
I never underestimate the gullibility of the electorate or the depths of dishonesty to which politicians will stoop. :(
