Having a bit of fun with my guitar, my computer and Audacity today. Here’s what I came up with. It’s very tongue-in-cheek, enjoy! Share this post: | | |

I never would have predicted a Conservative / Liberal Democrat alliance. Does that mean we are a Con-Dem-Nation? Well, what interesting times we live in – a Liberal Democrat as deputy prime minister! I feel positive about the outcome and I think we have a golden opportunity now for a new era in politics...

Labour and Conservative will have you believe that a vote for the Liberal Democrats is a wasted vote. Well, I wonder why they want you to think that? Take a look at the TwitVote map . Seems like a lot of yellow to me. NOW what looks like a wasted vote? Skidaddle on over there and cast your vote now....

My quote of the week comes from Charles Kennedy on BBC’s “This Week in Politics”… “My moment of the week has come. I’ve been uncharacteristically quiet and timid; here is the Liberal Democrat , indeed the former leader of the clan, sitting in the middle of a general election debate. You’re all going...

So, it begins. Here is our opportunity to change our country for the better. Time to nail colours to the mast, to vote on who we want to lead the country, to lead us out of recession. I firmly believe that we need more than just a change of leadership, though. Never have so many people been disengaged...

This last week has been a troubled time for me emotionally. Partly through unfortunate circumstance and partly through stupidity, I’ve made some massive blunders in my relationships with several people. Some of the people are close to me, others I have never met and yet I’ve managed to alienate them...

Happy New Year to all my readers, I hope the new year and the new decade bring good times for you. I love snow. Yesterday and today we’ve had a good covering of lovely fluffy powder snow across South Wales, there’s about 5 inches on my driveway right now, and with the predicted deep freeze tonight, it...

Well, at least not paper ones. My colleague Richard Tubb covers some of the reasons that I agree with completely. I haven’t sent Christmas Cards for a lot longer than Richard, though, so I’m not going to get away with his ‘Internet’ explanation. It’s a personal choice, one that is hard to justify sometimes...

Real musical talent is hard to find these days amongst the commercial mush being churned out by the record industry. My favourite roots band, Show of Hands stands out for me as an example of everything that’s good about music. Their latest song "Arrogance, Ignorance and Greed” has a new performance...

The last couple of days I’ve been the guest of Microsoft UK at their Thames Valley Park HQ in Reading. About a hundred MVPs from across the UK and Ireland came together to learn from each other, find out about upcoming technology, to network and socialise. Our schedule began with what I had mentally...

BBC - Electric Dreams - Home Page Do you remember the 1970s? So do I. From Electric Dreams Blog to the BBC TV series, take a trip down memory lane and recapture your childhood. Available on BBC iPlayer , this retrospective series takes a tongue-in-cheek look at how people lived and coped 30 years...

I don’t understand the binge drinking culture. I’m not against people having a drink or enjoying themselves, but personally, I’d rather sit in a quiet country pub with a few friends with no music, so we can actually talk to each other comfortably over a few pints. I live on a main road and every Friday...

I was just watching a repeat of the series “Andrew Marr’s History of Modern Britain”. I couldn't help but be impressed by his closing sentence: “Looking ahead, we world’s islanders (as we have become) are more open and perhaps more vulnerable than ever before; and yet, to be born British remains...

“The true wealth of all nations comes from clean rivers, healthy soil and most importantly, a rich biodiversity of life”. “…we are not what we think we are. We are not the masters of creation. No matter how sophisticated our technology has become, the simple fact is that we are not separate from nature...

“We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started... and know the place for the first time.” T.S.Elliot (I discovered this inscription on a feature at Baylands Country Park, Sunnyvale, California) You know, we take a lot for granted in Britain. We...
