The main surprise of Labour Party conference this week was that the party managed to keep itself together, just, and didn’t disintegrate into back stabbing and in fighting, well not too much.
Cabinet Ministers kept to their agreed truce before conference not to talk about the leadership or the deputy leadership, although this didn’t stop journalists […]
Hello lovely internet people!
I could do with some of your collective wisdom…
I really want to leave my job, like realy, really want to leave my job. There a number of issues, but I would guess that they are the same reason anyone wants to leave their job - I’m not finding it challengeing, I’m […]
It was the Liberal Democrat conference this week and you could be forgiven for not having noticed. So for those of you with better things to do with their lives than watch rolling news all day, which has nothing to show but live feeds from the conference, I give you five things you should […]

Look! A glowing blue duck! Pictures from Will’s birthday are *finally* up here. Yes I know, only five days after the fact, but it’s taken me […]

2) I have spent over three and a […]
Three f**kin hours on hold. Three f**kin hours!
I have taken to bashing my head against the desk to just drown out the five songs they keep playing again, again and again. Oh and the Orange Woman who cuts in every 30 seconds to tell me that I “may expereince a delay”, the irony of which […]
