Month: February 2003

On the one hand, this post makes me want to go "Woo! Yay!" whilst, on the other, it makes me want to hurl.

According to the 2001 census, there are 866 Jedi living in Chichester, representing 0.8% of the population. This is above the national average of 0.7% Jedi, but less than Brighton where 2.6% of respondents described their religion as Jedi. Hmm.
I, of course, described myself as atheist.

Yesterday’s other news: Brighton 1 – Millwall 0. Brighton are slowly inching to safety.

A splendid day in Brighton yesterday in the always-fab company of Kate, resulting in the purchase of a couple of CDs, a beer on the beach between the two dysfunctional piers, and then a visit to a pub followed by much crazed bopping, with Kate’s friend Jac, to the sounds of a DJ set by Quantic, who played a fantastic new unreleased track that he is working on, and about which I had a brief chat with the man himself.

The BBC says that blogging is about to go mobile. Um…hello? I’ve been updating this site from my mobile phone for absolutely ages, at least a year, using WapBlogger.

Off to Brighton for the day (and night) for shopping, eating, drinking and possibly even dancing (but don’t tell anyone). So expect quietitude.
Life generally is pretty extraordinarily good at the moment, in just about every respect. I don’t think I’ve walked around smiling quite so much in years.

Beer with Bren, Greg, Arron, Kearn, Paul F, Tanya, Jeremy, Dave, Tim, Malcolm, Sally – well, just about everyone really.
Got chatted up on the way home, which was nice for the ego. And had a discussion with a policeman who had parked his panda car right outside my flat with his blue lights shining right in the window, in a most irritating fashion.

Lifted from the B3ta newsletter:

I think Michael Portillo is right. It certainly looks as though IDS has pressed the self destruct button on the Conservatives once again. You have to ask why he continues to pursue a confrontational stance with the substantial moderate section of the party, and persist in developing policy, making statements and forging attitudes that are so clearly at odds with the middle classes and middle ground – the areas where elections are won and lost.
This sort of thing just plays further into the hands of Charles Kennedy and the LibDems, who increasingly appear to be the only party that offer a sensible alternative to the incumbents.

The Project has its first customer. Woo! Yay! and, indeed, Hoopla!
