My Rambling Thoughts: Tory MPs Reading List
http://stillnotgrownup.blogspot.com/2008/08/tory-mps-reading-list.html
Sunday, August 03, 2008. Tory MPs Reading List. I'm slightly bemused by the story. In today's Sunday Telegraph about Tory MPs being given a reading list designed to make them better MPs. A more pretentious bunch of claptrap I've never come across. First of all, who has the right to tell their sub-ordinates what they have to do on holiday? 160;If my boss gave me a list of 38 work-related books to read on my fortnight on the beach I think I'd tell her to get stuffed. . And the books on the list. 160;I'm...

My Rambling Thoughts: Go Team USA
http://stillnotgrownup.blogspot.com/2008/08/go-team-usa.html
Thursday, August 07, 2008. While I will of course be supporting Team GB in the Olympics my respect for Team USA has just gone up 100-fold. Despite athletes being begged not to make political statements, Team USA have made a powerful, meaningful and best of all peaceful statement about China's support for the Sudanese government by appointing a former Darfuri refugee,. Lopez Lomong as their flag-bearer tomorrow. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Musings from the journey from hell. Hooray for the Olympics.

My Rambling Thoughts: January 2008

Wednesday, January 30, 2008. Time For MPs to Follow the Same Rules As Me and You. It's not been a good few days for the reputation of parliament or parliamentarians. First the brouhaha over the publishing. Of MPs' expenses and in the past couple of days the whole Derek Conway. When I claim expenses from work I'm expected to hand in receipts. So don't slash MPs' expenses, just make them hand in receipts. Seems reasonable. Thursday, January 17, 2008. Tuesday, January 15, 2008. Testimony by Barbara Stimler.

My Rambling Thoughts: March 2008
http://stillnotgrownup.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 18, 2008. I am so sick and tired of people who don't like something telling me that I can't do it, want to do it or watch someone else doing it on the screen. The latest bat-shit crazy idea. To hit the headlines is that any film with a character smoking in it should be given an 18 certificate. I don't smoke, I don't like smoking and despite my reservations about the smoking ban I like going into pubs where no-one is smoking. But come on. Banning smoking on screen? Monday, March 17, 2008.

My Rambling Thoughts: Stop pandering to the lowest common denominator
http://stillnotgrownup.blogspot.com/2008/09/stop-pandering-to-lowest-common.html
Wednesday, September 24, 2008. Stop pandering to the lowest common denominator. Today that nine universities in England are looking at offering interviews to "disadvantaged" youngsters even if their grades don't merit it annoys me immensely. Why should people who don't achieve the necessary results be offered interviews? It patronises them and it insults the students who have achieved the grades needed.

My Rambling Thoughts: June 2008
http://stillnotgrownup.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 30, 2008. The news that there will soon be a by-election in Glasgow East. Has sent many of my political friends into a frenzy of excitement. But it won't be that easy - rumours are swirling that the candidate will be Elaine C. Smith. Where does that leave the already selected candidate Lachie MacNeill. And if Lachie MacNeill is the candidate - does he have the experience, knowledge and abilities for such a high-profile campaign? Or will the campaign for a new Scottish leader overshadow every...
