here we go then, one of the blond bombshell's first actions as mayor of london is to scrap a multi million pound deal with those natsy pinko Venezuelans so londoners don't have to feel guilty about their subsidising our transport system. thank heavens for boris huzzah!

honestly, it is a mealy mouthed of BJ to claim he cares a fig about poor venezuelans. he probably thinks they eat each other, or have pickaneys as children, or live in mud huts. this is what happens if you give a proper job to a posh twat on a mission. at least he has done something useful: he has alerted us to the mindset of cameron's new tories. sod the poor, they probably won't vote anyway

p.s. what is this new design all about? are we supposed to post abstracts now?

chepstow castle had a sort of living history day - which was a little soggy after a day of rain. about a dozen or so folk re-enacted the siege of chepstow castle from the civil wars/english revolution.. very LOUD cannon which scared my (3yr old) neice. she recovered soon after in the gift shop but was a good advert for pacifism! wars are NOISY, and FRIGHTENING, lets do colouring in instead.. george dubya take note.. out of the mouths of babes they say.

anyway these are some pics

the chap in the lobster pot is the leader of the parliamentarians (who were attacking), weirdly their cannon was served by 3 women.. is this accurate? it made an impressive BANG anyway

the next chap is a royalist musketeer who was jeering at oliver's army (the soldiers not the hit record for elvis), finally not everyone was impressed..

cambridge in the play-off final. at wem-ber-lee! how exciting is that? got to hope i can get some tickets and silly hat (or something, suggestions of what to take to wembley here please...)
