The blogger's return

Hello again, folks! I'm almost back on-line after a two week sojourn. I say almost because my home computer is still out of action and I'm making this post on my Mac at work (note to Pilton Sucks - this is my lunch break!)
I don't know how it will look when it's posted as all the formatting is a bit different, so look on this as a test message. If it turns out okay - I will return!
So what's been happening? Well, there were the jolly japes of our noble Lord Mandy with his privileged chum Gideon 'George' Osbourne on that nice Russian bloke's yacht, then there was that rare old kerfuffle with Russell Brand and Wossy's phone calls to Andrew Sachs - what a wizard wheeze that was, eh?
And just last night, Labour wins three seats in by-elections (and earned me a few bob into the bargain). Resurgent or just a temporary reprieve? We'll see.
I'm going to try to publish this post now - not much point in typing away for hours if it all just disappears into the vapor .. although perhaps it just does that anyway!

Here goes ...
