Constable Time

Curse you QPR! Or should that be QP Yarr? I think it would have been better if Ipswich had lost 3-0 to a team of pirates. Much more acceptable, Jim lad. Unless of course, you're a ninja, in which case it's unacceptable. But enough of pirates vs ninjas!

I am in Ipswich at present - visiting the gal, of course - and will shortly be heading to Manningtree in order to explore Dedham Vale, which is also known as Constable Country, due to its high concentration of policemen. I mean, because some guy painted there and everyone was like, "Check out the hay wain on that!"

So yes, more reports on that shortly. In other news!

1) I am in the process of getting my internship with Andrew George sorted, eeee! His assistant is just checking dates for me and will get back to me after the Lib Dem conference in Liverpool, which takes place this week.

2) I was in Zummerzet on Monday, visiting such awesome places as Dunster, Minehead, Williton, Cannington, The Quantocks, and, er, Taunton. Hmm. But if you do get half a day free, do visit Dunster: proper little old-school village with a yarn market, a whacking great castle and a deli that does good cornish pasties. Tasty times! It was also good to see Uncle Clive and his family: we went to the Tandoori in Williton, and if the chocolate mousses are always that good, I may have to move there, hehe.

3) I watched the IT Crowd with my cousins Thomas and Amy. It was awesome. "Damn that mash looks tasty!" And it turns out I can play "London Calling" on left-hand guitar! Who knew?

Thanks for reading, more this evening, with...

Guess Who's In Hornsey?

That's right: it's me, on the hunt for jobs: of the working-with-an-MP variety.

Speaking of MPs, I was lucky enough to bump into Mr David Heath, a Government Minister for the Foreign Office and the Liberal Democrat MP for Somerton and Frome (which be in Somerset, lad). He wished me good luck with trying to find work/work experience, but said he was unable to offer any himself: using his own words, "The Civil Service have taken over my life!"

Yes, they do tend to do that when you spend lots of time in Whitehall. Still, it was good to meet another MP. I appear to be getting into a habit of doing that now :-)

More as and when I actually get a dashed job! Also, the Labour Leadership contest is in danger of becoming very boring. Someone hurry up and get the other three nominated, please!
