The black one we had for a few years and it was great fun. We hit the streets of Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam in it, all the time topping the radiator up with mineral water. Good times. - Steve, 11:23 AM, mini_sportspack Originally uploaded by Saturner. This is probably my favourite car out of all of those we've had in the past. It's a '98 Sportspack and we had it from new for about a year. I really wish I still had it, no good for the milage I do these days but perfect for long drives in the country and having fun. - Steve, 11:18 AM, So, David Cameron is the new leader of the Conservative Party and I think this is probably a good thing. I'm not a Tory voter but there are two things he has committed to that really endear him to me... actually, I may have misunderstood... Anyhow; the two things are: An end to "Punch and Judy" politics and Supporting the Government when they agree with their policy (i.e. not opposing for the sake of it) These might actually be the same point but I hope that the "end of Punch and Judy" thing relates to PMQs. I listen to it when I can but I can't get through a whole session without being both angry and ashamed of the behaviour of the MPs in attendance, if you don't know what I mean then listen to it today. They are supposed to be representing us but it sounds like an unruly kids party. The point about not opposing everything just because you are (or think you are) the opposition is also a good one. Some policies are correct and some aren't, if you oppose everything then you are just self serving and not looking out for the country. - Steve, 10:26 AM, Monday, December 05, 2005 I should point out that my friends Ernest and Julio have paid a 750ml long visit tonight, there is a good chance that disjointed rambling might follow (more than usual). I left the house this morning at around 9.45am and was home around 5pm, between these times I drove for 4hrs 52mins. I only made two stops, Bletchley and Lichfield... what a waste of a working day. I shook hands with a couple of people but that is probably as productive as it got. Tomorrow I'll balance that by working from home where I can start work just after I get out of bed (sometimes I'll even get dressed first). Tomorrow though a man is coming to fix the oven (I could fix it myself because I did an apprenticeship instead of going to university, therefore I call myself an "Engineer" (at least in private)) As we rent this house someone else fixes anything that breaks, this means that I should probably hide the cats as our agreement states "no pets"... will they stay in my sports bag without making too much noise? I'm listening to todays DSC, I'm starting to quite enjoy Country music, keep that between us. Where has Sheila gone? - Steve, 11:39 PM,
