City of London Police are going to love that driver....... 

We packed the not so little darlings off to boarding school this week......... including the youngest for the first time.

Happily, you’ll be reassured to know that Mrs Flashbang is coping well and maintaining a cheerful, if somewhat strained, outlook. With only two broken glasses and one dropped bowl at home last night, we’re hoping she’ll make it to the end of the week without too much trauma or drama. Despite the spontaneous weeping and occasional, drifting visits to their bedrooms she is, all things considered, in a relatively stable condition.

Of course, she's only one of thousands like her who will spend the coming weeks being forgetful and fretful, worrying that their cherubic young offspring will be spending their evenings being squashed into empty trunks and catapulted down the staircase, or perhaps being hunted down by the Lower Sixth to be hung out of third floor windows by their ankles. Not to worry Ladies, it's all changed since those days......... really it has...

Anyway, kids.. you should be ashamed of what you're putting your mother through - this is what it's been like for her.. 

Well, I've got my hands full here, hope the whole school thing is working out.

Millions are "suffering tube strike misery," today, apparently. Hadn't much noticed it myself. Everyone who should be in the office is and stories of torment and turmoil are few. It's a quiet week economically anyway so if Crow and the rest of his losers think they're on a winner, they couldn't be more wrong. Some people are even using Boris's Bikes, that'll show 'em.

Interestingly, today is the 70th anniversary of the start of the blitz. I wouldn't dare draw any comparison between the two, except to say that people have a knack of rubbing along and getting things done. You can incidentally, see a map of where the bombs fell on that day here.

Some lucky individuals however, have decided to operate from home though. Just one word of advice, remember to tell the wife that you're actually working....

I recently referred to William Hague's questionable judgement in a light hearted way in, "William Hague, Surely Not?" The point here, is that the general voting public do not particularly care about his orientation; they care if he hired a friend as a special advisor at public cost. Why does the Foreign Secretary need and require a so called special advisor, with no apparent qualifications or obvious qualities when he has the massed ranks of the Foreign & Commonwealth Office to support him? Most people think the whole thing very odd and that Hague has been a bit of a tit.

Blaming rumours apparently promulgated on the internet is anyway, aiming at the wrong target. Most of these rumours originate from Westminster and I'm left asking myself, "Am I the only one who sees the manipulative hand of the Dark Lord behind all of this?"

Did the government really think that Labour would just sit back and let them have a free ride for five years, when they could redeploy a strategy of destabalisation which was so successful in the 1990's? Keep watching, I expect ministers will be picked off one by one.
