Just not his month

Grumpy has a theory about our previous prime minster Tony blair in that he knew all these problems facing the government were coming so decided to jump ship as it were at just the right time. And it's possible that this theory could be correct in as much that Gordon Brown has seemed to face one disaster after another since he came to office. The latest was today where he seemed to let slip in the mother of all faux pas that he believed that the tories would win if they were to call a snap general election.

It's at times like this where it's easy to see the benefits that the US election system has over ours in the sense of that yes although they have to put up with months of campaigning to choose candtidates to run for president at least they know precisily when the election will be and they get a choice of who gets the top job. We're beholden to whenever the government decides to call an election which is sure to only be at whatever point is most advantageous to them! We only know they have to call it with in a set time limit but not when.

Of course almost eclipsing this stories in some papers is the ongoing sage of Katie and Peter. In one of those pointless train of thoughts that sometimes happened I noticed that they had decided to call one of their kids junior. Not Peter junior, just Junior. So this kids full names is Junior Andre. Now if he has a kid and also called him Junior, he would then become Junior Senior and his kid would be Junior Junior. If his kid then had a kid would this make him Junior Senior Senior or Junior III?

I then realised that this was a pointless train of thought and needed to get on something else rapidly. But then again it has been one of those days.

Season 2 of chuck is finally going to start as they've just started to show adverts for it. Hurrah!! About flipping time, I was starting to wonder if they were ever going to get round to it and would just show repeats of Star trek the next generation for ever more!

anyway,

Later folks,
