Charles Clarke gets the sack

Charles Clarke has been sacked during the Cabinet reshuffle.


Following on from last nights drubbing at the polls for New Labour, it wasn't a great surprise that this happened to deflect attention away from the result, nor was the fact that Labour will cling onto power in the face of overwhelming evidence that one of their own is incompetent.

About time really that Clarke went considering the disaster he has oversen at the Home Office.

Lovely weather

Since it was such a lush day and the hottest of the year so far, it was the perfect time to push the tumble dryer aside, save some money on electricity, stop pumping out carbon and get the washing out into the fresh air. Perfect weather for it.

Perfect excuse to brighten up all this boring text too...

Local elections

Today is the day when local elections take place across England and apparently voter turnout is up on previous local elections due to the lovely weather.

I'm scum because I didn't vote. Never got round to registering you see, although I did try, but the online form was just bollocks and kept assuming I was foreign or summat. There was a one sheet printable version (That i've used previously whenever updating the Electoral Register Officer at the Council of a change of address) but er.....I never got round to posting it. Ho hum.

Anyway, it's more important for me to get a job at the mo and funnily enough there is one at the Council I rather like the look of. I took the opportunity offered on the job advert (Waste Statistics Officer) to call the department for an 'informal enquiry' but just got through to an answerphone.

Suppose everyone there was doing their civic duty and manning the polling stations. Council workers eh...any excuse to bunk off.

Little Steve gets England job

Little Steve McClaren has only gone and landed himself the England job.

Like most England fans, ny reaction is....FFS!

Well to be fair to the boring bastard, let's see if he can lead Boro to victory in the UEFA Cup final and show that he can win a major trophy and a European one at that (And remember he would be the first Englishman for donkeys years to do so).

If he can, then it's only fair to give him a chance. If not, then we'll carry on howling in anguish.

green.tv

Heard about this new internet tv station called green.tv so thought i'd have a look. It's a bit worthy (As most 'green' things usually are) but it's also an exciting concept in reality, especially since it draws in corporate sponsors and contributors. While that may appall some who believe corporations and big business are an evil force upon this world, I can't help thinking that it's going to be corporations, rather than Governments, that enable the public masses to achieve their growing aims when it comes to all things green.

Have a look, the 'Grocery Store Wars' film is very good and in fact they're all well made. Wonder if they'll be taking on films made by amateurs in the public realm? Maybe thedacs can give a tour of all the green/energy saving changes they've made to their lives and home...

Sign on

Had to sign on today to claim my JobSeekers Allowance. Took all of 10 minutes (Plus the half hour sitting around of course) and was completed with the air of worthlessness and despair that thickens the air in every Job Centre.

I feel like shit.
