  • 14:51 is eating a rather full plate of food. Trying Sosmix for the first time, rather impressive, reminiscent of old Soya McCartney pre GM scare #
  • 23:43 why is Vine trying to be Snow? You're not Snow, be someone else, you're just looking crap. Oh, wait... #
  • 23:57 cringing at the horrible cartoon pic of Alix. Ow. #
  • 23:58 Wow, Luke really is annoying. I thought it was just malicious rumour. #
  • 00:12 Why is Boy George taking so long to state the obivous? Yes, we know you need to take councils to unseat the MP, it's basic strategy moron! #
  • 00:38 laughing at Jowell, she does not look happy at all. Then again, she's got nothing tobe happy about. #
  • 02:35 is giving up and going to bed. So far my prediction was roughly right, although fewer gains and fewer losses, weird. #

  • 10:12 is wondering what colour the sky is where Mad Nad is from. She sounds so rational on the Radio until you pay attention to the words :-( #
  • 20:52 is delivering leaflets with a 4 year old. She's much better than me. #

ETA: Nadine Dorries, referred to as "Mad Nad" was on Woman's Hour discussing abortion law. She was being as economical with the truth as she normally is on such things.

About

I'm Mat Bowles, a Devonshire lad displaced to Yorkshire. I'm an analyst specialising in politics and make a living from IT marketing, please don't hold that against me.

Coalition For Choice

This is my personal general interest journal where I write about or link to whatever I've fond that amused, intrigued or enraged me at the time. I'm a committed liberal, equalist and atheist, but I really like it when people can demonstrate I'm wrong, and have close friends with whom I completely disagree on some if not all of those points.
Atheist

There probably ought to be a Creative Commons licence in here somewhere but in the meantime consider this permission to quote me (link) & link to what I write.

If you decide to keep reading, please do say hello, let me know where you found me from, etc. I promise not to bite (well, unless you want me to...)
