If I have been quiet here, and let’s face it I have, there are several good reasons. Mostly they are do do with an impending house move and several aborted house moves.

I’ve seen all good people

Last night I went out to see Rick Wakeman and Jon Anderson playing at the Hawth theatre in Crawley.  Rick Wakeman. Jon Anderson. In Crawley! This was the second date on their 20-date ‘Anderson-Wakeman Project 360’ tour, coming to a provincial town near you soon, and the ticket was a birthday present from Chrystal which […]

There was another leaflet that caught my eye at the Hawth tonight, this one produced by Crawley borough council and advertising the Crawley Diego Garcian Society Fair at the K2 leisure centre on Sunday.

July 20th, 2010 · 13 Comments · Music, Politics
Another week, another Labour leadership meeting. This time round was different for two reasons: as it was my own local party I could actually vote this time, and there was a hustings first. Oh. And there is a prog rock angle too.

March 31st, 2010 · 1 Comment · Politics
During Parliament yesterday Laura Moffatt made what I guess will be her last speech in a debate.  It was quite a long one, understandable in the circumstances, and covered quite a few topics, so I am not going to quote it in full, but will quote a passage that particularly struck me.

Election fever
March 27th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Politics
As a member of Crawley Labour party I am getting quite excited about our impending candidate selection. Alerady I have had emails from two candidates, setting out the reasons why they think they are best for the job. One of them also sent out the same letter by snail-mail, which must have cost a fortune, […]
