What is it about the Herts County Show that it always seems to rain? I tell my daughter that if she ever gets married, she must never choose the weekend of the show. Actually today was just about OK in terms of weather – a few showers which could be avoided by nimble footwork into [...]

It’s a two city race – only St Albans can stop Cambridge from winning at Monopoly
May 15th, 2007 · No Comments · What I Think
St Albans is slugging it out with Cambridge for top spot on the proposed Monopoly Here and Now UK edition. So cast your vote early and often – well once a day anyway which is allowed in the rules. Cambridge was less than 100 votes in front when I cast my vote today. (Bizarrely Burgess [...]

May 3rd, 2007 · No Comments · What I Think
Today is polling day in the local elections for the City and District Council of St Albans. It is also polling day for the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh Assembly – where results may prove to have far-reaching ramifications. They mark the end game for Tony Blair and he will get a kicking. Soon we [...]
