Last night I ended up as an extra in a music video. Depending how good the video is, I may elaborate at a later date.
Today I was much less showbiz and traipsed round south London delivering leaflets.
I have taken to snacking on seeds after accidentally catching an episode of All You Can Eat (or whatever it’s called) on Channel 4 on Wedneday night. It reminds me of the line “You eat like a bird” from Psycho. I don’t imagine it will last.
One day to go to Doctor Who! How fitting that the show should be resurrected at Easter giving the literally religious following it has from some of the more extreme fans (“and on the Saturday we watched Rose from the sofa”, etc.).
Speaking of which, here’s a gag from Tory Trouble:
What do you call extremists who crucify themselves on Good Friday?
The Tory party.
A number of blogs on my blogroll (including three by elected LibDems) are nominated in the Guardian’s Backbencher Political Weblog Awards. Vote away!
I recently wrote to my MP, Eric Joyce, about the Elect the Lords campaign. I told him I was supporting the campaign, gave him my reasons, and asked him his views and to give his support if he agreed. I also asked him to forward my letter to the Lord Chancellor.
Last week I got a reply. Here is the substance of it.
I have written on your behalf to The RT Hon,[sic] Lord Falconer of Thornton[sic] QC, as you requested and I will contact you again on receipt of his response.
That’s it. No comment on the issue at all, not even an “I’m yet to decide” (i.e., “I’m yet to be told what to think”). But that shouldn’t be a surprise since Joyce is one of the Guardian‘s Top Toadies.
