Last week I received an advance copy of Youth Novels, the debut album from Lykke Li which is due to be released here on June 9th. Lykke Li gets talked about at the latest Swedish teen pop phenomenon so might be supposed to be a bit outside my natural tastes, but things aren’t that simple.

So the last bank holiday was a fluke after all, and now we are back to the traditional miserable holiday weekend, with the trees behind the garden bending like they are in a Robert Frost poem, followed by a bit of a downpour. To re-inforce the feeling that all is back to normal, the UK [...]

Why don’t we just accept the situation and next year adapt a football chant for Eurovision? The Millwall one would be particularly appropriate… “no-one likes us. We don’t care.”

Is this the best advert on TV at the moment?
The only thing that could have made it better is if there had been a close-up of him opening the bottle that featured real hands.

One other reason why I use less fuel than the average is that I tend not to drive very fast. I’m not as slow as Jayne likes to make out, its just that I go more for gentle acceleration and braking than certain other people in this household. What I did not know, having never [...]
I joined the modern world today when my ID card photo driving licence arrived in the post. Since the new photo licences were introduced I have not changed name, changed address, had any endorsements added or removed,1 or had any categories added or removed. In short, there was no reason to get a new licence.

The story about the financial benefits of petrol-electric hybrid cars in today’s G2 generated a lively discussion in the canteen today. Maybe it was a mistake to involve engineers in such a debate…

I can understand the concern about the price of petrol, I can even understand why there is practically hysteria about it. What I can’t understand is why there is not similar outrage about the price of public transport and why there has not been general mass protests about that as well, or even instead.

The European cup final was close again. How happy we were to see Ronaldo’s cocky penalty get saved, only for John Terry to cock up his chance to seal the victory and save Ronaldo from being the player to lose the game. I know that Ronaldo is an outstanding player, but just because he has [...]
Another story about housing in the local papers; this time from the West Sussex County Times and relating to Horsham district. One thing that everyone agrees on is that it is difficult for youngsters1 to leave home without leaving the area and difficult for anyone on a low wage but not qualifying for high priority [...]

This is not the best blog in the world; its a tribute | Hosted by AN Hosting of 223 West Jackson Street, Suite 1014, Chicago, IL 60606
Anything I write here is my own opinion and is not endorsed by my employers, the Labour party (nationally or locally), my family, the cat, the other cat, West Ham United FC or anyone else - and especially not AN Hosting. Its just a personal blog, in other words: Promoted and published by me on behalf of me (yes its all me, me, me. Vanity publishing at its worst) although I'm not particularly promoting anything, just describing and generally rambling for my own entertainment, but the whole Internet thing is such a grey area you have to be on the safe side don't you? There is always going to be some idiot who takes it all seriously. No names - you know who you are. Not that anyone reads all this stuff at the bottom anyway, not when there is more exciting stuff to do like watching paint dry...
...and the same goes for anything the sister writes here, not that she is writing much: come on Jane - pull your finger out!
