A thousand apologies for my neglect of this blog over the Christmas and New Year period - it seems that the O2 broadband staff didn't deem it necessary enough to process someone's internet changeover BEFORE Christmas...
Still enough of that. Where on earth do we start in terms of news? We've had controversy, murders, takeover talk - and that's just in football!
As our country seems to edge closer to the brink of collapse, the news item that stood out for me was the attempted "coup" of Gordon Brown's government. I must stress not the event itself but the way in which the protagonists came to the conclusion that they wanted Brown out: whilst dining in a curry house in London.
When out for a curry with friends and as the poppadoms and jalfrezi's have been devoured and washed down with a pint of lager or four, how many of us can claim to have put the world to rights in such an environment. I for one can testify to that but one has to laugh at the image of a slightly worse for wear Geoff Hoon prising a finger away from the tightly wrapped coil around his pint glass in order to punctuate his point with some accusatory finger-pointing.
If we had sofa government under Blair are we in for a spell of restaurant government?

Snow joke
To any climate change/green/global warming enthusiasts - as temperatures fall as low as minus 13 in some places, explain to me how our planet is supposedly warming up!
It never ceases to amuse me how a dusting of snow seems to instantly throw everything into chaos until everything subsides and we return to the mundanity of a wet, grey and chilly winter. Lord help us if this country experiences the kind of snow they get in North America on a yearly basis.
Where are these green do-gooders now? Frozen to their eco friendly hand-woven wicker chairs? They probably havn't put their heating on because that affects the planet too. These are supposedly clever people who would rather freeze to save the planet. In my book there's nothing clever about that!
What next? Are they going to campaign that as a result of global WARMING our winters are getting COLDER? Im convinced that these people have nothing better to do but just stir up trouble. They can freeze in their eco-friendly homes. I'm going to enjoy my Christmas with the heating on full blast. I'm NOT going to recycle and I'm going to leave ALL the lights on! Bah humbug!
