"You've left it a bit late, no?" you're probably thinking. Well yes, I have. Fortunately I'm fairly sure that nobody reading this was going to vote Conservative any way, and those that were planning to won't be swayed by any argument I can come up with. That's my defence of this late comment, and I'm sticking to it ( Read more... )

First off, this is the second attempt at a catch-up post. I wrote the first one at work, saved it to my USB stick, and then it mysteriously didn’t save. I have no idea why or how this happened. All I know is that I was NOT IMPRESSED. The first version of this post ran for pages and pages. I will attempt to recreate the lost masterpiece, however I ( Read more... )

It was the weirdest thing yesterday. Last night, I really wanted to go out clubbing. Which is very weird because she never calls me I didn't even find that a fun prospect when I was uni. I haven't been on a night out in a long long time. Other reasons why it's weird is that I'm still feeling pretty crappy. I'm not as bad I as I was, but still short ( Read more... )

I've been sort of wanting to post about random crap in my life for a week or two, but as I've been following the news coming out of Iran, every post I've wanted to make made me feel like I was complaining about nothing and I should shut up about my stuff.

As per usual, students are being killed, some of the photos/videos coming out of Twitter, Youtube et al ( Read more... )

If I hear one more person call Brown "unelected", I am going to go crazy. He was elected by the people of Kirkaldy & Cowdenbeath. Not enough people in the PLP were against him for leadership so there was no need for an internal election. The British people elected Labour in 2005 for a maximum of five years. Our electoral system, look it up. Jeez, ( Read more... )

OI! UK Residents! (and people of the Netherlands, but I don't think I have any of those on my flist ( Read more... )

I have opinions that may or may not be unpopular.

Opinion the first - I disapprove of Michael Martin's resignation.

The push for the resignation of the Speaker was, in my mind, the most despicable and cowardly act of scapegoating I have seen in a long long time. His "attack" on Hoey really wasn't an attack, unless disagreeing with someone with a ( Read more... )

I've been avoiding posting for days. Not just because I've been tired as hell, but because I know that if I post I'll feel compelled to catch everyone up on all the amazing things I've been doing the last few weeks ( Read more... )
