Strange things

1. I dropped my watch - it seemed to be a slight bump but th face was smashed and the hands bent. The damage seemed disproportionate to the impact

2. I have a sister who is 30.I mean yesterday she was about 17 or that is what it feels like

3. A shop tried to sell me the cheaper version of a product rather than the more expensive one

Maybe the Matrix is malfunctioning

Any bets whether there will be ant attention seeking behaviour?

The problem wuith a Democracy is

it is only as good as its most stupid voter

1, You might be annoyed by Gordon Brown but he is not responsbile for organising the emptying of youe bins. In the council elections you are voting for who runs services locally. If you are happy with the way local services are run why change.

2. Voting UKIP or BNP in Euorpe is a complete waste. The EU parliament is divided into voting blocks. Conservtiaves are part of European Parliament Party (right wing), Labour are part of PES (Party of European Socialists), Lib Dems are part of ALDE (Alliance of Liberal and Democrats in Europe), Greens are part of Green.
UKIP amd BNP are allied to no-one so have no power, no way to enact any policies and is a wasted vote.

Year 6

On Friday I will have to teach Yr6 who are visiting the school for a taste of "big school". Mot sure whether to be nice or scare them a bit. Don't want them arriving too cocky and sure of themselves.

Ian Gibson quits

So Norwich North will have a by-election. Just us all on our own. All the big politicians will be in town to campaign. The media focus will be here. Should be fun.

Wonder if Ian will stand as an independent

Caught between a rock and a rock

Dr Ian Gibson. MP for Norwich North, has been deselected by the Labour Party so he cannot defend his seat at the next election. What he did was to sell a flat to his daughter for a similar amount that he paid for it thus not making any money. However the market had risen so the flat was worth maybe another £120000 that he recieved. If he sold it for full market price he would have been able to keep the profit and thus been criticised for this no doubt.

The problem for the Labour party is that his local reputation, which is very high, was probably the only thing that would get a Labour MP elected. Although the local Conservative candidate's holier than thou comments made me laugh. A lot of her party did a lot worse and her party would have few MPs if she applied the same logic to the Conservatives as she did to Labour.
