News of the day

So, in the news today is the snow. BIG big news. Apparently. I, however, seem to be living in a parallel universe (Nottingham) where the snow is manageable, the buses are running on time and we're all in work. Elsewhere in the county there seems to be chaos. I'm slightly (very) jealous, I want a snow day too! Where's my fecking snow??

However, the snow has just been knocked off the top-spot on BBC News by Geoff Hoon and Patricia Hewitt calling for a secret ballot on Gordon Brown's leadership. The headline on the Beeb is;

"Two ex-cabinet ministers are texting all Labour MPs seeking a secret ballot on Gordon Brown's leadership."

For a minute I was half impressed that they've so readily embraced technology, and half thinking that texting was a bit of a teenager-ish way to do it. I'm not sure it's the same thing though....

I personally don't think they'll win the election either way, I can't abide that smug DC, but I don't really know who Mick Clogg is, oh sorry, Nick Clegg. So it's the best of a bad bunch really.

In my own life, I'm off to the gym tonight to feel overweight and inadequate. Yey.
