You can get what you wish for

Its that time of year when politicians send out their Christmas cards. If they are anything like leo in the west wing you wont know who half of the recipients  are. Earlier this week i saw david cameron and his family in the paper  having the picture taken for the cameron card.. Cameron was saying 

In my view he is treading a fine line. I think he will end up  using the family and then asking for privacy. People know me as a labour man so it is indeed right that i mention the blairs  because they were accused of doing what cameron is.

Of course we want to know about him and what makes him tick but isnt david cameron the one voters can elect and not his family. If he does want to have them in pictures let them choose. I know they are very young so dont use them until they have a choice!

you know is christmas time when...,.

reader dear reader i would like you to think about something. what is a nintendo users favourite carol.. ( answers at the end of  the post no prize on offer i am a skinflint)

Its December the nights are drawing in. I have also opened the first few doors on my seasonal calender as my local supermarket calls them. but what makes it christmas time for me is not the christmas music or the rush of people in the shops or the movies on the tv ( the best one for me is miracle on 34th street) but it is the day the christmas radio times comes out.

In my house it created a buzz  because you could check out what to watch and when i know you can do every week but something about christmas made it different

the answer to the question is wii 3 kings

the end of an era

 The British High Street could soon change for ever. Its not because there will  be no queues in shops on christmas eve its with the demise of Woolworths. I was told   when i went to sign on  a few weeks ago that they were looking for store managers and  that i should think of applying. The next thing that happens is that they go belly up so am i like a dementor at Azakaban who sucks the soul out of  seemingly a solid business who could offer me employment?

this marks the end of an era because its always been there. If you had to get something quickly you could almost always get it at woolies from pick and mix to screwdriver sets. so woolies is to many people what sir alex ferguson is to me(apart from being a managerial god) I say that as a proud  and passionate aberdeen fan  i know  the number one fan of this blog would completely agree- the proud manchester united fan that he is. he  always says there is only one club in manchester!

He has always been chewing his gum and shouting at referees for the lack of or too much injury time .

The end of era marks the dawn of a new one maybe without woolies if it does go. Maybe in this new world i get a job selling pick and mix and other items as there seem to be a gap in the market...
