Having established this blog because A) I wanted my name to be shown in nice blue letters when I posted on other blogs and B)because it came free with the local history website I run, I find myself in the embarrassing position of finding that some people are actually coming here and reading it (only once, I presume). I feel constrained, therefore, to say something. Erm............

1. Who, with any sense would want to be PM when you see what it has done to TB (a shadow of his former self)

2. David Dimbleby: the reruns of his election night programmes remind us what a star he is. Like a world class footballer he always seems to have plenty of time to do and say the right thing.

3. The pleasure in visiting blogs is not in the original post but in the comments. That is why pb.c is supreme.

4. The best political interviewer is, and has been for several years, Andrew Neill.

5. The colonel's lady and Rosie O'Grady are sisters under the skin.

6. Finding things to say on a blog is not as easy as it looks.
