No offence Hank, but glad I don`t live in your neck of the woods.

Oh he is doing well right now thanks. We still have some hurdles to jump, but one step at a time etc. How is your good self?

Glad to hear he is doing well mate. One step at a time and everything will be ok. I`m fine Hank, looking forward to NFL very very soon. How you rate Houston`s (I nearly typed Oilers lol) chances?

UKIP leader Nigel Farage is expected to stand as an MP for the South Thanet constituency in the General Election, Sky sources say.

Mr Farage is reportedly on a shortlist of candidates for the Kent seaside seat.

Recent polling has said there were two constituencies where his party could win.

One is Thurrock in Essex, where there is already a UKIP candidate, and the other is South Thanet, that includes the towns of Ramsgate and Broadstairs.

Mr Farage had already said he was planning to stand at next year's General Election, which prompted speculation about which constituency he could choose.

Sky's Political Correspondent Sophy Ridge said: "The reason that he has chosen the South Thanet seat is pretty simple.

"It's because he thinks this is his best chance of being elected to parliament."

sky news sharp as ever...

good ol nige, he'll show em

he'll keep the dusty lot already in there more on their toes.
