Up early again and keeping things at bay with the pills...

Three little holes are all I have to show for it all...



Already I’m hardly using the sling and have started the exercises...

Spent much of the morning, one-handedly and with some difficulty, ripping CDs of LPs I bought back in the mid-70's to early 80's to the hard drive then deleted some albums from the Rock & Pop jukebox and loaded these "classics" instead...

This afternoon Dr Prog visited and we spent some time compiling a DVD full of MP3 albums for him from my collection...

Whilst doing so, we listened to his latest thing, the new album from progmeisters IQ...

Tasty...

In the evening, the Exec Producer and I drove to a Chinese takeaway on the other side of town and brought home dinner...

“CSI”, “My Name is Earl”, "Big Bang Theory”, “Question Time” and “This Week”, kept my mind off matters...

Michael Portillo hit the nail on the head on “This Week” when Andrew Neil and the shows producers tried to whip up some excitement re the BNP achieving two seats in the European parliament...

In the areas where they succeeded, the North West, thanks to the stupidity of proportional representation and the vagaries of the boundary commission, 8% of the vote gets you in – by comparison, in the North East you can’t win without capturing 20% of the vote...

The Green vote, proportionately, increased by more than the BNP’s – as did UKIP’s – so, while it’s disturbing that 950,000 voted for a fascist party – the media are making a bit of a meal of it and helping to fan the flames...

I think it’s a bit strange that left wing Labour die-hards would rather vote for neo-Nazis than the Tories – a bit strange and a bit sad really...

Highlight of the Day : A visit from the doctor...of Prog...
