>>>what does SWMBO stand for?
She Who Must Be Obeyed = The wife/ Mrs/ 'er indoors/....
Origin of humorous use - Rumpole of the Bailey (TV show)
Origin of phrase - Rider Haggard's book "She".
This question is so frequently asked that ybw should put it into the "welcome to the forum" e-mail.

Re: How do you find the time....
I can't see that being a politician takes up much time. Like most of them, he probably gets paid lots of tax payers money for doing nowt. Quite entrepreneural that, isn't it?
