I've just realised that I haven't blogged in a long time, and I think I'll try to re-ignite the habit. More importantly, I realised that if I didn't write this, or any subsequent posts, my latest child, Adam Joe Bean, may look back on this site in years to come, and feel sadness at not being mentioned.

Welcome Adam.

If you were in any doubt as to how stupid its all become, watch a couple of our noble leaders engaged in intelligent debate....

Happy Birthday Patsy!

Pat is my oldest friend and Godfather to both my (current) kids. We miss him terribly, so here's something to put a smile on your face - Mr Vigers would be proud!

Gem of Wisdom

They happen all too rarely these days, so when my addled brain stumbles upon a swift, witty or even plain coherent response, they are probably worth noting.

Whilst trying to elicit a dinner guest's preference for main course this evening, I suddenly came upon the ideal statement for the situation.

"I'd rather cook what you wanted to eat, than you eat what I wanted to cook."

I thought it was quite cool, but I suspect Marcus and Arthur missed it due to someone on Jackass doing themselves a mischief.

So they got Packet Enchiladas. That'll teach 'em.
