A Good Night With Friends

Recovering from a £12.50 four mile taxi journey to have dinner with friends. An fare increase of 25% in 2 months. Obviously the recession seems to be over in Cheshire. Anyway a few beers, a bottle of wine and a great curry soon put improved the mood. The world was then put to rights, a great night.

Hung Parliament

So there is no way that any party can claim a majority, the first hung parliament in my lifetime. How about this for a radical solution. Cameron talks to to the SNP, Plaid Cymru and the Parties for Norther Ireland. He offers them a one off deal of devolution. Suddenly the face of British politics changes for ever. Approximately 100 seats of which around 70 labour are then removed from Westminster. There will then be a stable government formed by a majority party in each parliament.
Would it work? What could go wrong?
Just a thought.

Just watched an advert for a Westlife concert on Sky Box Office. At the end my eldest daughter asked 'Are they Jewish?', 'No' we replied 'they are Irish'. 'Oh' replied my daughter 'I thought they sounded Jewish like Cheryl Cole', 'No darling' we replied 'she is a Geordie'.

So its election night and along with and my youngest daughter got into the spirit of things. She came home from school complaining that they couldn't have lunch in the hall today because of the voting. She then asked my wife why we were voting, so like any good parent my wife began to explain about the prime minister and government. After a minute and my daughters blank look my wife asked if she had heard of Gordon Brown, to which she nodded. After a couple of minutes my daughter asked 'Is he on Dr Who?', 'No, he is the Prime Minister' replied my wife. My daughter thought about this and asked 'Is he the one with the big hammer who hammers things?', 'No thats a judge' replied my wife'

Well this is it, my blog.
Thursday 6th May 2010 and I finally decide to sit down and write something, but a few questions do spring to mind:
Why am I doing this?
What is the Point?
Will I enjoy it?
Will anybody ever read it?

Only time will tell, so perhaps this should become a journal of sorts.
What do you think? Is there anybody there? Who am I trying to kid?
