So tyred!

I knew the tyres on the front were a little low, borderline illegal but, I was showing Robin earlier and discovered a large nail in the rear tyre.

Fair to say I am very thankful I don’t pay for the three tyres which needed to be replaced! Would have come to the best part of a grand, ouch!

OUCH!!! Seems they cost as much as dear Clarence's were. I suspect that The Mikado's tyres will be a similar price too.

Some little extras …

• Faro 1 still has the giant turn marking where the loos are. • Roja still make those loos • Leg room is getting even less on planes and if I notice it must be bad. • One of the guys at Merlin’s (the Italian one) seriously broke his leg roller skating and is off work just now but hopes to be back for September. He doesn’t look at all himself though, bless him. • It was lovely to meet Ree and Jules out there a couple of times, they seemed like really good fun so it was annoying I felt too crap to really enjoy their company. • I am starting to really dislike the Spanish.

They smoked regardless of regulations to the contrary. A

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

My Boyfriend

He’s so lovely that even though he’d had a really busy day today he still waited up until gone midnight just to say ‘Hi’ before he went to bed. I am a very fortunate man to have found him, we talk every day
