Party Political Hackery

Wednesday, April 27th, 2005

Did you happen to see the Tory Party Broadcast* this evening? It was a more toned down and less amusing version of the one they had banned. Part of it consisted of having pictures of Blair filling the screen with, less than complementary, headlines from the rightwing press. Then it cut to […]

Lucky Escape

Monday, April 25th, 2005

As happens when you move, you come across things you’d forgotten, and in moving blogs I came across this post I had written just before Christmas. I didn’t publish at the time, for various reasons, but just for the shear ‘ohmygodness’ of it all, here it is in it’s entirity. Have I mentioned […]

Friends, colleagues , people I don’t know, after much consideration I stand before you to announce that I am defecting to the other side.

Sunflower

Sunflower, originally uploaded by London Girl.

Oxford M brought me sunflowers on Saturday. And this is such a rare and unexpected occurrence (none of the rest of you bring me flowers…) that we had no vase to hand - the one vase we have in the house is used to collect the wine corks in, […]

Yet another election quiz…

Monday, April 18th, 2005

From the wonderful observer blog comes the vote-o-matic. Concerned that whoshouldyouvotefor - told us all to vote for the Lib Dems (apart from the odd exception). This is the internet election quiz for you!
“You scored 84
Spoil your ballot paper, then get drunk, then weep like a child at the futility and injustice of […]
