The Usual Light Shower

Every four years, the United Kingdom has a General Election.

Every Member of Parliament has to stand for re-election, including the Prime Minister and the entire Cabinet.

And somehow, it's that time again.

This Thursday, the country goes the the polls to choose amongst the usual shower of incumbents, idealists, crackpots, crooks, wasters and wannabes.

But this election promises fireworks. Unusually, we have three parties with a strong presence in the minds of the electorate, and all of them have a real chance of doing well.

And the race is too close to call.

It's so close, in fact, that a coalition government is likely; two of the parties will gang up on the third, and divide up the spoils of power between them. It won't be pretty. We've not had one of these for a long time, and it's making people nervous.

And the question of who would be Prime Minister is unclear.

It's too early to make a formal press statement, but I can reveal that an independent candidate has been approached, and is poised to unite the parties and lead the country into this new decade.

Prime Minister Roth in Number 10?

This could be his finest hour.

Captain's Blog - Supplemental

I've been shamelessly ignoring a couple of things on my radar this week. I wanted to wait 'til I had time to add them to a blog entry, but yesterday's video blog entry needed posting before I either wept or threw my computer out of the window in frustration.

So, it falls to today's entry. If awards and tags aren't your thing, feel free to slink off for a cup of tea. While you're at it, you might like to check out my Indigo 101 list (at the bottom of the entry) and enjoy a slice of Indigo-with-cream-and-jam with the tea.

[Braver souls may choose to explore my sidebar archive freely. We'll send a search party if you go quiet.]

First, Dieter over at Confessions Of A Wannabe Writer has pushed the I Love Your Blog award my way.

For those who don't know Dieter's blog, it's a thoughtful, adult-oriented offering with sexual themes. Thanks Dieter! Now, I'm supposed to pass this along to fifteen others, but I don't read that many. Besides, I'm an habitual rule-breaker. So instead, here's a few of the bloggers I adore, but who are missing in action. I hope this will inspire them into new output!

- Eolist over at Eolist Petite
- Britta over at Armed With Vitriol
- Steph over at Nicole Kidman Stars In: The Astronaut Dropped
- Kato over at Pandorah's Box

More, please! I miss you!

Second, I got tagged by that scamp Scott Free over at Ergo. Mr. Free has a blog that is almost as eclectic as mine, and was the inspiration for yesterday's video blog entry.

Apparently I have to list seven things that no longer exist, but should. Hmmm. Okay, here we go:

1) The Dodo - I'm curious to know what it tasted like.
2) Director John Carpenter - Alive and well, but not directing.
3) Tyrannosaurus Rex - There's lots of bankers that need eating.
4) Cadbury's Spira - twisty, twin-bar chocolate. Wonderful!
5) Old TV Networks - That let creative folks just do their thing.
6) Jelly and Ice Cream - Oh I know, but it's been years!
7) My Sex Life - please see my reason for Number 6.

I guess I'll tag some more bloggers to continue with this, and add a new question.

- Scott over at Ergo. Revenge! TAG! No returns!
- iDifficult in his eponymous lair. I'm nervous already.
- Robbie over at The Thought Bubbles Of Robbie Munn
- Nancy over at BLissed-Out Grandma
- Ms. Fin over at De Tinta Y Papel

Consider yourselves tagged, people! And the question?

Name seven historical/fictional people who you would like to meet.

If you'd like to say why too, that'd be fab and groovy.

Right, signing off now. Thanks for reading!
