Tis definitely the right weather for flies .... where did they all come from and why don't they go back there?

Well, we took oursen off to S Yorkshire again today to collect the Megane. Feeling reet hungry we sat us to t'local chippie for our lunch and it were reet grand. Not only that, it tasted good too.

Meanwhile, pretending I have an accent what is my own for a bit ... I was a little disappointed at how the town of Holmfirth had been transformed into almost a theme park tribute to 'Last of the Summer Wine'. It was almost as bad as Stratford-Upon-Avon with its 'Shakespeare woz 'ere' all over the place. It's a shame as the place doesn't need it. Anyone who watches the show would recognise the locations straight off without the slightest hint, those who don't probably wasted their time visiting it for that reason. As it happens, we were not there for the show at all just collecting the car so I felt justified in making my critical comment of what is otherwise a magnificent Yorkshire town.

The Megane is not perfect but it is still quite cool. It lacks the umph of the Sebring naturally but much of the comfort is still there and it has some quite nifty features, I just love the 'non' key.

Anyway, those that want to can have a drive in it, many already have and I've not been home more than 4 hours yet!

As an aside ... isn't everything?.... as predicted, the DLA folks have appealed the tribunal decision.

Budget Day

So, we have the ‘Let’s buy a whole host of gullible voters day’ with George Osborne. No doubt we’ll be told how employment is rising, how the deficit is falling, how we’re all so much better off now than we were (compared to what?). We’ll be told that there are still tough times ahead but that only a Conservative government can steer us through them. It will be pointed out how inflation remains low, how not raising duty on fuel has helped everyone as is seen by the current lower prices at the pumps (it’s going up again George). In short, I should listen to this budget later and decide to vote Conservative in May but, I won’t. Labour certainly did nothing to avoid the mess the country got in but they didn’t cause it. They made the mistake of trying to be too conservative, allowing high finance the freedom to cause a catastrophic cock up for which they took zero responsibility. They made the mistake of allowing Gordon Brown to take the job of Prime Minister, one for which he is totally...

Oh dear

The good news is that it could possibly be Jermaine will be moved into his lovely new flat within 6 weeks. Matt is another story. His apology earlier was rather pathetic. He's still not really said sorry to either Daisy or Deej and, indeed, seems to think saying sorry to anyone is more important than being with his mates. He has a set of rules now, in writing and he's been told that if he deviates from it just once he best have somewhere else to live. We shall see. I don't hold out much hope but there is still a little inside of me, I need to believe there is good in him ... for now. Car - still not sold Looked at Nick's new place the other day. It's small but not so much as I feared it may be and could be made to look real nice with a little effort and thought. I know how I'd do it but it's up to Nick how he does it and I am looking forward to seeing the end result. Loads of work still to do at Robin's of course but at least he is up and running again o...
