The current trend of old pop groups and that getting back together got me thinking…

By my reckoning it all seems to stem from Live 8, which was of course headlined in London by none other than Pink Floyd – yep, I was just as surprised (and ecstatic!) as everyone else! Now, with groups like the Police reforming, it seems they’ve started a trend where people who hate each other are starting to bury their hatchets – maybe for the money, maybe not. So I’m very very tempted to go down the bookies and put a bet on the Smiths reforming – after all, if Pink Floyd did it…..see where this is going?

Just a theory, but you heard it here first *pats nose with index finger*

Well, it’s all over – I’m now the proud mother of an extremely beautiful ickle baby girl!

She was two days overdue, which isn’t really a big deal for a first baby, and had to be delivered by Caesarean section but when I look into those beautiful brown eyes of hers I think about my 24 hours of labour and forget all that pain instantly. It’s hard not to go into all the usual emo guff people like to trot out at these times but being a parent really is something else. People have made the usual jokes about how we will have to give up so many of the things we enjoy and take for granted but strangely enough it really doesn’t bother me.  And anyway, I come from a huge family so there’s always going to be a babysitter if I do fancy a night of drunken debauchery!

The thought that we are now responsible for a whole new life is such a strange feeling and it’s hard to put it into words, but at the same time it’s really exciting.  I’m really looking forward to being a mummy!

This country is going to the dogs big style.  I’m sick of our government and its clownish policies.  I don’t believe that the current status of a potential terrorist attack is ’severe’ – frankly I don’t believe it.  I don’t want an ID card or have my DNA on some database where anyone can get their mitts on my personal details.  I don’t have anything to hide so therefore I have nothing to declare.

I don’t want the Tories getting in either, but I have a sneaky feeling they may be the lesser of the two evils.  However, for those of you that have read/seen V for Vendetta that story is eerily accurate – too accurate in my view.  If we had the money to up sticks and get out Scotland we would.

So, where to?
