General Stuff Update

[inulro]

I just noticed in tonight's episode of Smallville that the Metropolis scenes were shot somewhere in Canada - there was a TD bank in the background, and a Canada Post truck. It didn't look like TO (though it could have been parts I'm not familiar with), but my money's on Vancouver. Because it rains in every single scene.

Jason gave the lawn its annual mowing, and we discovered that New Bunny Jerry has the Original Bunny Snuffles approach to power tools, ie "cool!, can I help?" rather than the Sensible Bunny approach, which is "Ow! My delicate ears! Must go hide!".

Election Leaflet Roundup 1
Or, how little does anyone want my vote.

I do not live in a marginal constituency. Labour's last majority in Bristol East was 18,000 votes, and 22,000 in 1997. So far, we have had one leaflet from the Green party, one from (spit) UKIP, and about five from Labour. Maybe we'll get more interest from candidates as the election gets nearer. If we don't hear from the Lib Dems I might be tempted to take offence and vote Green.

Still not entirely well, even by my standards.

Most constituency parties are grouping together with their neighbours to concentrate on marginals.

For instance, most of the Cheltenham LibDems have been seconded into Gloucester.

And Bristol West is apparently very marginal indeed.

I knew that there's less campaigning in non-marginal seats, but I wasn't aware of the grouping together. Which does make sense, but how are non-marginals ever going to change if no party makes an effort.
