According to the BBC, Menzies Campbell is "irritated and frustrated" at having to resign as leader of the Lib Dems. Strong words. Any minute now he will really let go and admit to being "put out" and "slightly miffed"

Free stuff galore
October 17th, 2007 · 3 Comments · Music
While I am waiting for the free stuff from Amazon to arrive I am keeping myself occupied listening to a new CD I just downloaded – also for free. It is the second disc of a double-CD, and I will get the first disc tomorrow with a copy of the NME. It is all in […]

One for the vine
October 14th, 2007 · 2 Comments · Technology
Amazon have had something running in the US for a few months now called the Vine Programme. The idea is that they get a list of customers who have written customer reviews and offer them products for free ahead of the official release dates, and in return all those customers have to do is write […]

I was out with some colleagues this morning, canvassing in Crawley. One of the houses we called on had an old lady who said she was 93 and had voted Tory all her life but she is not going to vote for them again and will be voting Labour from now on. Its always nice […]

Rugby
October 13th, 2007 · 9 Comments · Life
Well I watched the rugby this evening. England winning something is always good to see, but I still have no bloody idea what is going on. The game of rugby is totally opaque to me. Lots of big blokes running into each other and a substitution every 2 minutes is about as much as I […]

October 13th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Politics

Grass
October 13th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Technology
I am always coming up with ideas for stuff, and have a 100% record in coming up with ideas which are impractical, undesirable or just barking. I don't think Dragons' Den will be fighting to fun any of my ideas. For some reason I have been thinking about grass this week. Probably because we are […]

The box of good intentions
October 12th, 2007 · Comments Off on The box of good intentions · Technology
I seem to have accumulated 28 hours of stuff on my V+ digital recorder already. I have taken to recording programmes I want to watch so that if I am out or forget to turn the TV on I won't miss them. I have been making sure to view them within a day or two […]
Jam Yesterday
October 11th, 2007 · Comments Off on Jam Yesterday · Life
On Tuesday morning there was a fatal crash on the M23 at 5:00am which closed the motorway for hours. By the time I left for work at 7:30 the traffic was already building up as commuters came off at Pease Pottage looking for alternative routes and it took nearly 15 minutes to get to work. […]
Jam tomorrow

I'm sure they will play well, and the songs will sound good, but its not really The Jam without Paul Weller is it?
