Well, its going to be happy for some of them anyway, specifically the 18 of them who are getting way-above-inflation pay increases – backdated to April so they get a nice lump sum in their next pay. They will be spending Christmas with their snouts in the trough.

Introspection
December 20th, 2007 · No Comments · Technology
One last (for now) bit of navel gazing about the new look and feel of this site and then its back to waffling about football, Dr. Who, music and the manifold shortcomings of the Tories. For a start, while I was not looking, the hit counter ticked past the momentous but arbitrary 100,000 hits mark. [...]

Crawley drops down the table
November 19th, 2007 · No Comments · Life
Last year Crawley could ‘boast’ the 3rd and 6th most violent streets in Sussex, but this year it can only manage the 11th and 20th most violent streets, while the most violent of the lot is… Terminus Rd in Eastbourne. All according to this story in the Argus. The league table is based on violent [...]

Tables
August 14th, 2007 · No Comments · Life
It really is pointless having any league tables produced until everybody has played at least three or four games each. BUT It is OK now that West Ham are off the bottom thanks to Spurs losing another game. What happened to all their talk of finally breaking into the top four this year? Its early [...]

Worthing
May 11th, 2007 · No Comments · Politics
Thanks to Danivon for pointing out the Worthing Liberal Democrats website. I shouldn’t really be praising the opposition, but I quite like the Worthing Lib Dems – quite a few of them I have met only joined when Thatcher was in power and thought the Lib Dems were the most likely party to beat the [...]

Election results

It was good of Danivon to make his comment comparing the BNP’s vote to last year because such information is hard to come by. Not being a political anorak I don’t have copies of old election results knocking around: I figure that if I really want them I can get them from the council’s website. [...]
None of the above
May 5th, 2007 · 1 Comment · Politics
The local elections in Crawley saw an overwhelming landslide victory once again for the none-of-the-above party. I believe that where I was standing there was a turnout of something like 44%, but other places were much lower. In the past we have had turnouts getting close to 10% in some areas. Being involved in an [...]

Crawley election results
May 5th, 2007 · 9 Comments · Politics
No need to go into great detail here – all the details are on the council’s website but there are different ways of looking at them. As with all sets of results they can be interpreted several ways depending on how optimistic/pessimistic you are, how in touch with reality you are, what political persuasion you [...]

What I did in my holidays…
March 21st, 2007 · 2 Comments · Life
While this site was down I got quite wrapped up in a couple of things. One of them was this fiendish quiz which I found a link to on a blog somewhere. I can’t remember where, and I’m not sure if I should thank the person who highlighted it or curse them… It is an [...]

Small country

What I learned today: The population of Iceland is about the same as the population of Coventry – both are around the 304,000 level.
