I&#8217;ll tell you who must be feeling a bit sick at the moment. Apart from hankering after the good old days of the Cold War, the former masters of the former Soviet Empire must be looking ruefully at the Olympic medals table and wishing they had their fingers in a few more pies.
There are at [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m following the Olympics, of course, hoping for something exciting to happen, like a raised fist of protest, or a slogan scrawled on a teeshirt. So far there has only been a small war in Georgia, and a presidential resignation. To coin a paraphrase, the Olympics is a good seventeen days on which to bury [...]]]></description>

So the new car is okay. Still getting used to the auto, occasionally jamming my left foot (along with my right) onto the brake (thinking I was going for the clutch) and stopping suddenly. Luckily it doesn&#8217;t stall, so it&#8217;s not too embarrassing.
Remember the Cold War? Man, those days were great. Proper spies and all [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ll be getting my new car tomorrow, my year-old Golf. Artist&#8217;s impression above, done by my daughter on a flea market French etch-a-sketch thingy. Quite clever really - she was inspired by the Mini Clubman ads, which I suspect weren&#8217;t really done on an etch-a-sketch or indeed a Telecran.
Today I had to mow the lawn, [...]]]></description>

While I was browsing the Amazon UK Country section, a survey popped up, asking me to rate my experience, whether I&#8217;d found what I was looking for. A couple of knuckle-cracks later, I&#8217;d had a vent.
I&#8217;ve been on holiday in the Alsace region of France, and spent a lot of time in the little villages [...]]]></description>

My niece was complaining yesterday that she&#8217;s working hard at her summer job (at the same place her dad works), and after a hard morning walked into the main office to find the place almost silent, with everyone hunched over their desks. She thought for a moment they were all actually being productive, but then [...]]]></description>

One story (only one?) that&#8217;s driving me mad this week is the vehicle excise duty one. The government announced the new bands in the budget, saying that the &#8220;majority of motorists would be better or no worse off in 2009&#8243;. The tone of the reporting on this gives the impression that there has been a [...]]]></description>

So. Farewell, then, Bernie Ecclestone.
You&#8217;ve always
had it in for
Silverstone.
We&#8217;re about to head for Luton Airport, to say farewell to a French visitor. With some trepidation, because it&#8217;s British Grand Prix weekend, and the roads around Buckingham will be stuffed with diverted traffic. As they just said on 5Live: if you live around there, don&#8217;t go [...]]]></description>
