Default Bloody Gordon Brown and his entourage of muppets

Due to them and the crap way they've handled the economy I'm having to give up the cushy self employment I've enjoyed for the last ten years and get a proper job. No-one wants to pay me huge amounts of money for ten minutes design work anymore.

No more laying in bed till midday. No more laughing at the trailer trash on Jeremy Kyle. No more wasting hours playing on my Nintendo DS. And worst of all, no more reading the posts on British expats during the week.

Oh woe is me.

Is that why youve been MIA this week, because you have a new job?

I feel for you...................



Of course one day I might get a proper job, but until then I will keep pretending to be busy all the time and constantly taking the dog for walks.

More or less back to normal now, just waiting for a letter to go for the scan.

Had a lovely day in Jerez yesterday, looking forward to meeting up with you there hopefully soon.

Humm... is there anyone out there that actually supports Labour? I think I have come across 2 Labour voters that I know of over the last few years...

Mind you I am talking about people who come here on holidays, ex pats who live here along with family from NI and England and their friends... 2 Labour supporters out of the whole lot!

Even the ones that where in government jobs didn't support them, mind you thinking about it, very few of these people where in the categories that the government has been giving things to (or buying)...

Maybe there could be a poll on it for BE, would be interesting to see the ways things where there.

No, I don't start until 14th April. I don't mind really, at least I'll get paid holidays now and working in a studio creating logos and stuff isn't really hard graft.

The thing is this bunch of numptys bear no relation to the Labour party that I was brought up to support.

Could get really complicated so maybe the best way to go would be simply to see which party gets favoured, i.e. Cons, Lab, Lib Dems, BNP, GP, and anyone else you think might get a vote.

Judging by the responses to pro conservative threads in TIO I would say quite a few voted Labour.
