Do you remember at the
end of summer/beginning of autumn we had that unseasonably warm
spell? One last burst of lovely weather before we plunged into the,
what always seems like, endless misery of chilly drizzle. It was
beautiful and I decided that I wanted to go for a swim in the sea,
not something I have done for a since I was a child. There is a very
good reason I hadn't done it for so long, I can't swim very well. I
am verging on the point of being described as a non-swimmer. This
didn'... Continue reading ...

“So when is Margaret's funeral, I will definitely come?” “It's on the 14th,”
“Oh that's my birthday,”
“I'm sorry about that,”
“Oh no, it's nice to have something to do on your birthday.”
Oh thank the lord, all will be well, Gary Barlow and Robbie
Williams are friends again and the original Take That (the campest sounding
band name ever, except for Gay Bikers on Acid, maybe) are back together again!

This really is only a short post but I
have to put it up here because I can't reduce it to 140 characters
and stick it on Twitter.
So we still have no Government
(although things seem to be ok without them, maybe we should carry
on) and the parties still seem to be negotiating and offering things
to each other. My question is this, is this the worst of all possible
outcomes for the LibDems?
They have 3 options,
1, Join (formally or informally) with
the Tories.
This... Continue reading ...

I don’t want to know that the Tories are back in power, yes it is good for comedy, art and music (especially punk and folk) but for the rest of us, who don’t earn several million pounds a year, it is really bad news. In order to counter act this slight set back in my life I will be approaching the following few years thus,
The only harm will be a slightly soar back and some sand in the ears, although I might get shafted and not know who it was, at least you lot will see them coming... Continue reading ...

The Liberal Democrats have always been quite strong here for
some reason, perhaps it’s because they used to be a bit of a tree hugging, lentil
eating, sandal wearing hippies that appeals to middle class “spiritual” sorts,
but recently they have been doing really rather well.
Our current MP,
Oliver Letwin(d) (I know it’s a childish joke but it was first made by a child
so there) who is a Conservative, works for a bank a... Continue reading ...

Dear Moany Football
Managers,
Both teams have to
play on the same surface, stop moaning. You lost because the other side scored more
goals than you not because the grass hated you.

There really is only one story that I want to talk about
this week. It is one of the most talked about and life changing events of the
week (well in our house anyway). It could alter the way we live our lives for
years to come. If we do not act now, history will judge us to have failed.
As of July a Scrabble
rule change will mean
that you are allowed to use proper nouns! You will be able to put company names
and the names of ce... Continue reading ...
