The sales or the office - no contest

Thursday 27/12. The high streets are full of bargains (at least according to the adverts and the news) so the pressure for a shopping trip has become inescapable. What fun, hours of traipsing round shops I don’t want to go into saying “yes that’s really nice”, “no, you don’t look fat in that” and “yes that’s a really good price” (for something you don’t want / need).
Cunning plan, drop everyone off a Knightsbridge then into the office for a couple of hours of solitaire, writing this post, seeing if anything’s happened on Guido and Iain Dale (it hasn’t), then collect the exhausted masses and back home for turkey and (rather nice) ham.

MP’s seem to be voting themselves an above inflation paydeal – nice trick that, wish I could do the same. Shame about the police rise. Why isn’t MP’s pay set by an independent body? One of Gordon’s “citizens juries” perhaps. I sent 10 Downing St an e-mail stating that I’d like to be on one of these juries and asked that the application process be explained to me. No reply – I wonder why not. Surely these independent, representative, and totally non political juries aren’t appointed from the perceived great and good? Oh, they are.

Another day closer to Satan’s new improved anti choice (ie anti car) scheme. Please God, take him away.
