It's just not news, OK?

I'm referring to the Cherie Blair (isn't it funny how suddenly the media calls her Blair and not Booth?) "scandal". It's not news. It wasn't news last week, it's not news now. I'm disgusted with the entire British media - even the "respectable" organs that were merely wittering on about how it's not news last week are promoting it as news now. I guess they have to have some non-news to clog up the airwaves/kill trees with, seeing as there's no big reality TV event on at the moment. Somebody wake me up when it's over.

Spoke too soon

About my improved health. I knew as soon as I said anything I'd get sick, and indeed have spent the last three days off work with something that started being a hideous cold but now I'm just back to being lethargic, with lots of joint pains and generally depressed. I hate facing the mess they've made at work when I've been away, and if the work has piled up too deep (which it shouldn't have this time) I just get into the cycle of being overworked and then getting sick again. I also have trouble getting excited about work when the boss has gone to even higher levels of avoiding me/the office/the team.

Actually there's an aspect of it that is news of a sort, in as much as New Labour = Conservative is news to anyone.

From this article

"No, the only morally rebarbative aspect of this business is the sight of people who pretend to be on the left, yeah, up to and including the act of governing us under that flag, buying a flat as an investment. The distinction between Cherie and Tony is irrelevant here: he will benefit from any investment she makes. If he had any moral problem with it, as spouse, he'd have a right of veto. She, besides, calls herself a Labour supporter. The purchase of property for this purpose is not consonant with any of the principles of the Labour party, even in its lily-livered present form. "

Get well soon, you poor thing. :(

Cherie flats thing

I've completely failed to register any of it - I've always worked on 'It's very kind of them to flag boring media feeding frenzies with -gate so that I can ignore them'. It does, however, reassure me whenever I catch the news and they're still wittering on about it, in that it means nothing worse has happened.

Nothing worse that they think we should know about, anyway.

That's what worries me - aren't we supposed to be going to war or something? I'm pretty bored with that too, but at least it's a real event.

Plus, I've seen the flats in question. I always wondered who was gullible enough to buy them.

You have to come over and see our tree...and check out the MR&R's.

That sounds like bribery to me! :-)

Normally I'd just drag myself over, but this time I think there's an actual virus involved.

Are you going to Elvira's next weekend (at least I think it's next weekend).
