What are we gonna do now? Dave wins but doesn't, oh dear nightmare for him. What to do talk to Glegg but surely he will never agree deal because Tories hate PR, so will never agree. As for Brown in the mire or may be not if Glegg wants PR, this is the only way to get it. So lets hope Glegg's misguided principles 'Oh I must to talk to Dave first' or ( Read more... )

I caught the last half of Dispatches on C4 last night about election campaigning, which just confirmed by fears. Many things are not what they seem, leaders visits are staged to meet bused in supporters and ordinary voters are kept away. Everything parties say has been passed a focus group, who from they test they did on the show don't like hearing ( Read more... )

I made the mistake of going to PC world to look the other week and they don't have that much and as we all know the people in there know nothing. I made the mistake of asking about the new Intel Core processors and was told to think of them as models of BMW 3, 5 & 7, this didn't help. It just convinced me that going there was a bad idea, unless you ( Read more... )

This week I met some at work who was on my course at Poly! What are the odds of that? I haven't seem anyone from my course since I left, not surprising really as I didn't make any effort to keep in touch with anyone and as there was no internet or mobile phones, no one could find me and I couldn't find them. And since then me not being on Facebook ( Read more... )

Good news this week I found out the lottery syndicate I'm in at work won some money a few weeks back and the amount was not to be sneezed at, but was not a life changing or give up work time amount, even before dividing it up between all the members. Even so we all got a reasonable amount, the most money I've ever won at anything and probably the ( Read more... )

This election is dragging. That god for the Ash cloud keeping the news of it down the pecking order for week. As for the leaders debates I have seen a fair bit of them and unsurprisingly nobody really answers the questions. The big question being the economy, cost savings that equals job losses if its gonna make and difference, higher taxes, the ( Read more... )

A fairly typical movie from strange mind of Tim Burton and we even get Mr Depp. So a good movie but I'm not sure the 3D made it better than it would have been in 2D. It didn't seem that amazing, no giant leap forward. Maybe other movies use the technology better? I guess we will see, as there seem to be quite a lot of 3D movies coming out this year

While watching the Olympic closing ceremony, I couldn't help thinking lets hope London is not this bad. They had several famous Canadians on giving speeches about being Canadian, Michael J Fox and William Shatner. I had no idea they were Canadian. Then followed by several famous musician types, Neil Young quite good, Avril Lanvine passable, then ( Read more... )
