On this date in 1916 David Lloyd George became Prime Minister. 10 things he said:
The world is becoming like a lunatic asylum run by lunatics.
Don't be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated. You can't cross a chasm in two small jumps.
A young man who isn't a socialist hasn't got a heart; an old man who is a socialist hasn't got a head.
A politician is a person with whose politics you don't agree; if you agree with him he's a statesman.
He has sat on the fence so long that the iron has entered his soul.
If you want to understand a subject promise to speak on it.
Golf is the only game where the worst player gets the best of it. He obtains more out of it as regards both exercise and enjoyment, for the good player gets worried over the slightest mistake, whereas the poor player makes too many mistakes to worry about them.
You get to know more of the character of a man in a round of golf than in six months of political experience.
Once blood is shed in a national quarrel reason and right are swept aside by the rage of angry men.
With me a change of trouble is as good as a vacation.
Christmas is coming!
A Very Variant Christmas
Last year, Jade and Gloria were embroiled in a bitter conflict to win back their throne and their ancestral home. This year, Queen Jade and Princess Gloria want to host the biggest and best Christmas party ever in their palace. They invite all their friends to come and bring guests. Not even the birth of Jade's heir just before Christmas will stop them.
The guest list includes most of Britain's complement of super-powered crime-fighters, their families and friends. What could possibly go wrong?
Gatecrashers, unexpected arrivals, exploding Christmas crackers and a kidnapping, for starters.
Far away in space, the Constellations, a cosmic peacekeeping force, have suffered a tragic loss. They need to recruit a new member to replace their dead colleague. The two top candidates are both at Jade and Gloria's party. The arrival of the recruitment delegation on Christmas Eve is a surprise for everyone; but their visit means one guest now faces a life-changing decision.
Meanwhile, an alliance of the enemies of various guests at the party has infiltrated the palace; they hide in the dungeon, plotting how best to get rid of the crime-fighters and the royal family once and for all. Problem is, they all have their own agendas and differences of opinion on how to achieve their aims.
Not to mention that this year, the ghosts who walk the corridors of the palace on Christmas Eve will be as surprised by the living as the living are by them.
