Worthing really does have all the interesting news these days. Earlier in the month there were the allegations of the Tories hijacking the local hospital campaign during the elections, and ow our old friend Mark McCarthy is back in the news.

Apparently I am an Owl, otherwise known as a B-person. As a committed long-term insomniac, I was more than a little interested in this article in the paper about how I am not a lazy sod for not wanting to get out of bed in the morning but I just have a short version of […]

Don’t dream its over

Thanks to Kerron for pointing out this link to Crowded House's new single. It may not be fashionable to like Crowded House, and Paul Hester is, sadly, no longer with them after his suicide, but they are still a top band. Above all Crowded House have always thrived on playing live. I was lucky enough […]

Footprints
May 18th, 2007 · Comments Off on Footprints · Work
Yesterday morning the path outside one of the factory buildings at work was still damp from the night’s rain, with some puddles along one side. By one of the entrances the concrete was bone dry and therefore a lighter colour. Anyone who walked in the puddles left wet footprints on that dry section of concrete. […]

Spend, spend, spend

What really depressed me in today's papers was the research from Mintel about our national spending habits, with spending on foreign holidays, eating out designer clothes and other such essential all increasing while paying off loans and credit cards came lower in everyone's 'spending priorities'.

Devolution of power
May 17th, 2007 · 4 Comments · Politics
Two Conservative MEPs argue in the Guardian today that voter apathy in local elections is the result of local councils not having enough real power. They are part of a group which think that every decision should be devolved to the lowest practicable level. Having spent a few years feeling powerless in a local authority […]
