Hmm, the Emirates Stadium, don’t really like it. What was wrong with Ashburton Grove? Or how about a mix, The Emirates Ashburton Grove. That way the fans can call it Ashburton Grove, but the sponsors still feel happy.

A jolly good read. Enjoyed it start to finish, and whilst it may have been written by a Tory, it was still worth buying.
I think that knowing Westminster and the House did help somewhat in setting the scene, but don’t let that put you off.

4.5 / 5

I went shopping with Heather this weekend in London, and whilst looking in mobile phone shops for a P910i, I wasn’t sure if I was going to get one. Then after wandering into Phones4u, I was somehow persuaded to buy one.
Got to say that it’s brilliant, the colours, the memory, the keyboard, all make it a worthwhile upgrade on my P800, which is now up for sale to friends and family first.

After coming back from Conference, I noticed a small problem, my website was broken. After a bit of tinkering I discovered that the file() function wasn’t able to connect to any outside webpage. As almost all of my site does this, it was a problem.

However after contacting technical support at my webhost, they’ve finally solved the problem.

This also means that www.libdemblogs.co.uk is back up again.

Here’s my round up of Conference

Best Stall: The BBC, was able to catch up with the News without going too far.

Worst Stall: Liverpool 2008, after a while the Beatles tribute band got a bit repetitive.

Best Freebie: The “I’m a Political Anorak” anorak from the Electroal Commission. Especially being one of the first people to get my hands on one.

Best Fringe: The private BBC do, with “The Now Show”. I got to speak to Mitch Benn for ages.

Hero of Conference: Ming, his Independent Q&A session was great.

Lasts nights game between Roma and Dynamo Kiev, saw something disgusting, from both Roma players and fans.

Mexes was sent off for kicking Maris Verpakovskis, after the half time whistle, but a Roma fan felt he needed to throw what looked like a coin at the referee Anders Frisk. It hit him right on the head, causing bleeding, and he was unable to finish refereeing the game, so the match was abandoned.

UEFA will now decide what to do, but if this had happened in England, we would all be kicked out of European games straight away. But it wasn’t, it was Italy, so we’ll probably see a small fine, and a ban on “home” fixtures at Roma. Even though two years ago, there were massive troubles when they played Galatasaray, involving players, officials and riot police, I’m sure they’ll get away with it again this time.

Hmmm, the twats were in town today. Helicopter above work, stupid horn sounds, and the fact that I couldn’t walk to and from the tube.

However on the way home I saw this sign, and thought wtf.



Hopefully, we will finally see a ban. People who moan that Labour have the wrong priorities, seem to forgot that they keep trying to pass this bill (or something similar), yet time after time (five I’ve just heard on Newsnight) the Lords block it. If the Lords let it through, Parliament could be debating something better.

Might rant again tomorrow…

These people (or someone like them) were outside Parliament again. They turn up every 3 months or so, but I was wondering, why would anybody be that bothered about Fluoridation of water. I can understand the twats tomorrow, or the anti-war people, but Fluoride.

Gave blood today and didn’t faint! 🙂

Yay, my Murder One DVD arrived on Monday, I have since converted the first 16 episodes to MPG, and of those 8 to an AVI format that is suitable for my phone.
I’ve so far watched the first 4, whilst travelling on the train to and from work and the show is better than I could remember.
Using my new headphones, and that massive adapter, the sound quality is great and loud enough to be heard over a rattling train.
