Summer's here again!

And I'm making the most of it. In fact, i am writing this post with aa lolly in one hand - strawberry, yummy.

I think one of the best things about summer, apart from ice creams and not having to wear boring boots to work all the time is that politicians go on holiday and stop fucking things up. There have been a distinct lack of stupid, damaging things done and said whilst both parliaments have been in recess which leads me to wonder, if the presence of MPs is directly related to bad things not happening, maybe they should be there as little as possible.

Politics isn't exactly hip and happening with young, or indeed, most people at the moment. Derek from Big Brother was in a recent poll about who should be the next tory leader. The reason they included him, I suspect, was that they needed to be sure of at least one name that those questioned would have heard of.

Cricket - isn't it lovely. But why do they stop for tea, and if they do stop, do they actually have tea? Earl Grey and cucumber sandwiches with the crusts cut off, followed by home made scones, clotted cream and jam?
