Is it me or have the papers decided that Brown is dead and politically gone to meet his Maker ? Earlier this week there were a lot of articles saying what he should do to retrieve the situation, but now it's all "bye bye Gordie".
Whilst I agree he should go, I really can't think of anybody who could replace him who'd make any difference whatsoever. keep to the Fen Causeway
I think if the New Labour posse had a sense of humour - or cruelty - they would do a write in and elect Frank Field as PM. Member of the Anti-Fabulousness League since 1987.
These aren't people who have experience in the world like old time labourites; this lot went from private school to Oxbridge debating club to Westminster private secretary to parachuted MP. They've never worked in their lives. So the prospect of unemployment with massive competition for cosy boltholes will cause a lot of them significant distress. And it couldn't happen to a more deserving buch of arse-licking tossers.
Frank Field is a bit of a one trick pony, he's happy to do what he's good at. There are several people on the left I'd rather see cos even if they ballsed it up at least they'd go down on labour policies. keep to the Fen Causeway
I really don't know if the polling for C&N should be taken as a literal example of a general election, as all the normal caveats of by-elections apply, plus a few more concerning who exactly is running. I don't know if Labour's attempt to paint Timpson as priveleged will work well, especially as seen as their own candidate is 'blood' and not necessarily talent. Nor would a big swing to Conservatives be simply read as a vote against Labour, simply just a loss of votes which attends the loss of any charismatic MP such as Gwyneth Dunwoody. I mean, I'm sure she herself attracted more votes than some of those faceless Blairites we don't know and don't love.
Anyways, watch this space for the new narrative if Labour hang on to the seat. Alternatively, watch those London bridges for a middle-aged Scot if they lose (according to ceebs, anyhow). Member of the Anti-Fabulousness League since 1987.
Cameron is about to convince everyone that the Tories are running to the left of Labour, which is just that little bit too surreal to live with comfortably.
Lovely picture - as usual. :-)
It is not always easy to find interesting stuff, for example, in February there was an interesting Spanish writer (can't remember his name right now), whose books have been translated into German but not into English. Most Almanacs are Anglo focused. So, I am trying to look out for the serious to the silly stuff, about Europe.
I started out with quotes. We even used the quotes for a while on the OT. However, I feel your pictures are such a nice contrast to the left brained features and they are so lovely. So I see no reason why you should change them.

I told Bush; don't play chess with the freakin' Russians.

It should be avialble on BBC iPlayer. If you can't get it I'm sure somebody clever could burn it onto a DVD. keep to the Fen Causeway
Beginning tomorrow night, Sunday May 11th, just after 10pm on BBC2, and running for five weeks is the series I have spent the past year and a half working on, on and off. It is called Russia: A Journey with Jonathan Dimbleby, and it really is very good. Of the five films I shot two, films two and three, and also the end of film one - from Moscow onwards. It was an amazing experience - at times more painful than imaginable, but more often revelatory and exhilarating. Immodestly, I am proud of my contribution - I was lucky to be working with gifted directors, Hugh and Jamie, an extraordinarily talented executive producer, George, and a very, very special presenter, Jonathan. All of them made my life hell, which gave me the strength to push beyond my previous limits, and all of them supported me to the hilt and allowed me the space to create images I am proud of. I thank them for that. Sincerely. I wish we could do it all again. I hope you enjoy the series. Unfortunately I shall miss it, as I am off to Liberia and Guinea, followed by Afghanistan.

Well, I know it is wrong to judge something before seeing it, but given the shockingly large amount of crap I've seen about Russia coming from the BBC (Rupert!) I can't say I'm terribly interested. Unless I suddenly fall ill with food poisoning and need to expedite some vomiting.
Happy Monday Morning. "This is nothing compared to how Putin rigged Eurovision."
We spent the day gardening, dragging out weeds and doing some light building work with wire and bamboo. Tired now. I might try to develop some of the film from last weekend before I fall over sideways.
Oh, yes. I set-up my enlarger and bought some paper developer yesterday. It seems as if I'm going to do some old fashioned prints despite my best intentions ...

i had a nice get together last night with a guitar-playing compadre, who brought a cello-playing friend, and another friend who's a multi-instrumentalist. we had fresh made pizza and played our asses off.
hearing my songs with violin, cello, mandolin and piano was a blast, and we jammed on some old neapolitan songs too, a lovely vein to explore.
so today was pretty chilled...
tomorrow is a busy one, time to erect the new pergola posts, should be fun. "These days, there's nothing more ridiculous than the truth." Leonard Pitts Jr
