Well I have to say I feel v. sorry for Nottingham Forest (soccer) & Harlequins (Rugby Union) fans. Both teams got relegated today from the higher level leagues they were in. Think in both cases is v.sad.
As for the Tractor Boys, we won 5-1 today, Wigan drew and so it all goes down to the [...]
I am growing increasingly interested in the US, a country that I am increasingly aware is so very different to where I live, yet at times appears so similar.
I am particularly facinated by the links between religion and politics that exist in a country where the seperation of church and state is so important compared [...]
For those of you wondering how to talk suit, here are some ideas.
Restructuring – Fiddling about with the lives of those below us so their life is harder, but ours is easier.

And so it is I [...]
One of the music channels has been running an interesting election on 80’s v. 90’s.
There have been creative, interesting, amusing election broadcasts and it all seems so much more worthwhile, somehow – whilst at the same time claiming to be nothing more than media driven, fluff.
So how will I vote in this case. Well [...]
One of the most exciting things about the electronic community is the access to resources and material that can be interesting, stimulating, amusing or just plain strange.
Sometimes, just sometimes you come across an absolute gem. Something to explore in your own home because there is no way you could be in the setting where the [...]
Have just read Jo-anne Nadler’s “Too Nice to be a Tory”, which I picked up for all of 49p in a charity shop yesterday. (Sorry I degress, but I love a bargain).
Anyway it got me thinking about politics and my own political journey. As regular readers will be aware I have become disillusioned and have [...]
Third Party directed my attention to a wonderful part of The Illustrated Mum by Jacqueline Wilson today. In it the mother is complaining about being 33 and comments on that being the age Jesus was when he died. She says the following:
“He tried so hard too. He liked kids, he liked bad women, he stuck [...]
