April Fool Election

I love this story today in the Mirror..apparently because the Tories have fallen 1% in the polls the game is now on and an election should be held; The Tories are allegedly in disarray.

The truth is only exposed in the last paragraph. 'Allies' of Brown are so fearful of a budget and the horrendous news it will bring that they won't have one before an early April election.

It is so pathetic..look where is Gordon Brown now with his "I saved the World rhetoric."

Anyway, I hope it happens the sooner we have an election the soonere we can start the path to recovery.

And with that I am off on business for a few days to freezing (-20oC) Moscow, so may be light blooging from me. Hopefully BQ and ND can keep you informed and entertained.

MP to gag Cityunslicker

CU is off on a well-earned break for 2 whole weeks. Mrs CU is unlikely to stand too much time being spent on the Blackberry (actually, nokia E71), sadly I have 3 key competing concerns:

1- Work emails, lots of them; Ho.

2- Blogs, addiction to reading/writing; Hmm.

3- Shareprices; heavily invested in some real up rollercoasters at the moment, must be monitored to avoid massive losses; Hee.

This will no doubt require more time than is allowable under the t's and c's of our holiday arrangement. I recall the horror of hearing from a friend who had found that his (now ex-) girlfriend had 'accidentally' dropped his blackberry in the pool on first day.

Perhaps inclement weather will strike to save me from spending all day in the pool with the little 'uns - a quick prayer to the rain god is in order. Sadly, Mrs CU has no doubt found somewhere with 14 hours plus sunshine a year and a no rain guarantee; I am therefore looking for a hideout on the beach like the one pictured..

So it is over to Mr Quango for a while (with help from Mr Drew of course). He has promised me several long tracts to account in full and public for this expenses for the last 23 years. Should keep the readership riveted.....
