Quick political musing

I was watching Clinton at the Kerry rally today and I felt all inspired and wanting to vote. Why can't I feel that way about the politicians in my own country. I'm not particularly keen on Tony Blair but the leaders of the other two parties are pretty bland and its all I can do to work up indifference to them. Next years general election is going to be a farce. Nobody can be bothered to vote because there's nobody worth voting for so we're almost guaranteed to get Blair again

If only we could get Boris Johnson to put himself forward

What was the last thing you bought strictly for yourself?
A nice purple jumper on ebay

List five things on the table in front of you, other than your computer (or the table nearest you if you're using a laptop)
My glasses, my earrings, PotC on DVD, my broadband modem and a pen


Would you rather be stranded by the side of the highway with a broken-down car, or stuck in an airport overnight?
Airport. Totally.

If you had to eat one of those ten-scoop ice cream sundaes, which flavors of ice cream would you want in it?
Ten?? I think ten would kill me. But assuming it didn't it would all be cookies and cream

What kind of socks are you wearing?
Not wearing any. I just got out the shower

Getting there

I have a few ideas for Halloween party games now so thanks for all those who suggested stuff.

HSBC rang back to talk about my overdraft but obviously I was at work. They left a message asking me to ring back but their office shuts at 5 so that wasn't much good to me. I'll have to try and get in early tomorrow and finish early so I can ring them. It's not the end of the world if they say no...it'll just make things a bit easier for me if they say yes. Cross fingers for me please

OOH!

Who wants to see Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka? It's not a great pic but there we go

Feel the love

I'm feeling a bit needy right now so I thought I'd post this meme that's been floating around for a while

1. Tell me one thing you love about me.

2. Tell me two things you love about yourself. This one I'm particularly interested in, so make it good. I mean it. No self-deprication allowed!

3. Look through the comments ~ when you see someone you know, tell them three things you love about them.

4. Do this in your journal so I can tell you what I love about YOU - and if you've already done it, tell me so, so that I can go back and give you some love.
