Election material – Labour

April 27th, 2005 · Comments Off on Election material – Labour · Politics

Another A4 sheet folded in half. Semi-glossy this time, and the only one personally addressed to me. Obviously its brilliant and the best so far… Still waiting to hear from the Socialist, the Tories, and Arshad Khan.

I have just been watching the first test flight of the new Airbus A380 “super-jumbo” on the news. In France there was a crowd of 50,000 to watch the take-off, live broadcasts on television, and a giant screen in the local town square. There wasn’t quite as much fuss about it in the UK, but […]

In the merde

April 27th, 2005 · Comments Off on In the merde · Life

I’m reading a book at the moment. There is nothing unusual about that. I am always reading a book. Sometimes I will read 4 or 5 books in a week. Usually I have a couple of books on the go at the same time: one to read on the train and one to read at […]
