Bye, Tony...


...Hello Gordon.

Comments, anyone?

I don't think I've met anyone who thinks that Gordon's gonna make a decent Prime Minister. He's just not... Prime Ministery.

He doesn't seem THAT prime ministery I have to admit - but perhaps that's a good thing? I did hear one person comment that his first act as PM should be to call an election and see if he's the guy the people want - methinks he might fear the outcome of that and hence won't bother.

If you had to choose, would you go for me, Harold Saxon or Gordon Brown? Hmm?

Um, Saxon...

The problem I have with Gordon is people dont seem to realise he is the reason why we have such a heavy tax burden - he believes you solve problems by throwing money at them when thats not always the case - I'll be happy if he

Reduces taxes
Reduces regulation (enabling you to reduce taxes)
Doesnt hand over any more govermental responsibilities to non-elected bodies

Generally doesnt feel the need to change everything just to show how dynamic he isnt... really.

Blair, if I can speak metaphorically, was the smiling, matey 2nd hand car salesman who was basically flogging crap to us. Gordo (hey I'm in aus ok) is the dour faced bookkeeper who's suddenly got Tony's job and is miserabley trying to sell the same piece of crap to the British public.

Another Tony has departed this month. Tony Soprano. I'm sad to see the back of the two Tony's.

Couldnt agree more about Blair matey - I described him as a used car salesman in '97 and people thought I was mad!

Its a shame about Soprano but please dont tell me what happened I'm about 4 seasons behind! lol

Is it warm where you are? warm and dry? it sucks here... pfff british summers...

The Sopranos...what an epic..My favorite TV show ever.

Its currently about 17C here, we've had heavy rain all week and the pool was in danger of overflowing until I bailed it out with a bucket.

Currently the middle of winter here which means darkness at 5.30pm- I hate it. Roll on on summer so I can fire up the barbie!

well it ain't cold in Sunny Britland, but the rain last week caused some flooding which still hasn't subsided in some places. There was a town in Yorkshire on the news this morning that was still under water a week later and shows no sign of abating. And there's more torrential rain predicted over the weekend.

On the drive in to work, I come doen the Portway (A4) next to the river Avon. It's low tide, so it's normally a muddy river bed with a straggly little stream somewhere at the bottom of it. Looked pretty full this morning, though. Oddly there are no other signs that there's been problems in Bristol.

Most people over here are generally pleased when it rains...we have a really dry climate and water is a huge issue in Australia.

Unlike Britain, the USA and most european countries, the aussies stupidly dont recycle their water which makes the water crisis even worse.

When I was on the London underground a couple of months ago I did see a sign asking people to turn their taps off when brushing their teeth-which was surprising to see in Britain. Thats something thats really encouraged here.

You save 8 litres twice a day. Times that by a 1.8 million (pop. of Perth) and thats a lot-a-water. In fact its 28,800,000 litres....Thats a small lake.

Not recycling water is pretty silly - but ultimately the planet surface is 2/3 water so it really brasses me off when there is a 'shortage' - why dont we just purify sea water and be done with it? It cant be beyond the wit of man...

I'm going off to watch hot fuzz which I was given as a cool birthday pressie

If I remember right, desalination is really expensive and uses way more energy energy than Fresh and Wild would like. That said, doesn't Sydney have a desalination plant?

Nothings expensive if you do enough of it - and we have enough money to ponce about in space dont we?

BTW is "energy energy" a specific kind of energy?

That's disappointing - I was hoping it would be special what with it being named twice and all...

oh well I could be wrong - I presume with 'energy energy' that the first one was adjective, the second one the noun?

I was kinda thinking interms of how you get energy drinks, which are drinks that give you energy, or enegry sweets which are sweets that give you energy. This is energy energy which is energy that gives you energy. Good, huh?

It took me days to get an opportunity to respond what with doing stuff and things over the last few days. The word 'interms' is a well known one which has the same meaning as the phrase 'in terms', just said quicklier, like.
