I’ve had my Ford Fiesta for just shy of three years now. It’s been a good car, comfy to drive, nippy in traffic, extremely reliable, great in fact, but now it needs MOTing I feel that I fancy a change. I’m not making any other major changes this year - no change in job (at the moment) and no moving to a completely different part of the country. Normally I would do these things every two or three years. I expect a major upheaval every so often.
Yesterday Mark and I went to visit Blackpool Tower. Mark had never been. It’s only a 45 minute drive to Blackpool at this time of year and there’s no problem parking at all. Although it’s freezing cold it’s a pretty good time of year to visit in many ways.
No, it’s not a paranoid rant about surveillence and the ‘big brother’ state.
Actually, I just discovered a pretty cool thing - http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/. This is an on-line site where you can sign up to petitions in an attempt to influence government policy. You can even start your own petition if there’s something you really care about.
In a few spare, bored moments I decided to see what other me’s have been up to on-line. It seems my name has an interesting pedigree and certainly some of my namesakes have been having considerable fun.
