There has been a great deal of suspicion in the blogosphere regarding the political integrity of Total Politics, the new venture run by several former 18 Doughty Street operatives, and Politics Home, the hideous spawn of Stephan Shakespeare (the original financial progenitor of 18DS - yes, it’s all a bit incestuous). Both titles have […]
HuffPo has an article declaring the Democrat race to be over.
Oh pluuuuueeeeeaazzze let this be so! If the press manage to wrangle one more narrative twist out of this story, I swear, I’l scream and stamp my feet like a school girl. Surely now, with Obama winning so convincingly in North Carolina and Clinton just […]
You’re probably not wondering what I think of the mayoral elections, but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to tell you. If a blog is anything, it’s a medium for ill-informed twaddled, so, you know, I like to do my bit.
So Boris is now mayor of one of the most important financial hubs in the […]
In preparation for my move to Tallinn, I have bought a new MacBook Pro! :o)
Specs: -
Apple Macintosh MacBook Pro
OSX 10.5.2 “Leopard”
2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB DDR2 RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 6800M GT 512MB VRAM
It’s thinner than Olga’s PowerBook and so much faster. One of the main factors was the fact that my ageing iBook had […]

As regular readers will know, I travel to Tallinn (Estonia), several times a year for a week or two.
This year it looks like I’ll be going for the whole summer. I fly out in June, with no return flight booked. The kids are going into Nursery, and I’ll be doing some private English tutoring. If […]
More me(!) over at Rational Geekery: -
Anyway, upon excitedly unwrapping my dongle I found that even though the instructions were idiot-proof and all the software was auto-installed from the device itself, I couldn’t connect from my iBook.
I tried several things, including downloading and installing different drivers and playing with the settings. Yet nothing, I […]
Northern Rock proved that “irresponsible” lending is dangerous game for banks to play. If a bank has too many debtors who are over-extended, then it leaves itself wide open to punishment if suddenly the economic climate cools. In America, where mortgages are traded between banks and investors like coffee beans, bad debts have created a […]

It’s just dawned on me that the hateful bastards in charge at Postman Pat PLC, have changed the the bloody theme tune. No longer is it “Postman Pat and his black and white cat”,no, it’s been replaced by a forgettable generic effort that washes over you like elevator muzak (hence why i just realised it […]
It seems I’m a bore.
Gus of 1820 has decided that this blog is a yawnfest and will be removed from his blogroll. I can’t say I blame him.
I just don’t seem to have the energy and vigour for political blogging that I once had. I spend most of my day getting stressed out that I […]
John Band has an interesting post here.
He claims that, despite the almost-constant media doom-mongering, the sky is not falling in on the UK’s economy. He makes a few valid points about like-for-like sales against the actual takings on the high street: -
It’s partly due to misleading reporting, of course. Hands up who read this morning’s […]
