It's my 6 hour committee day today

What is a 6 hour commitee day? It seems to be something you're not excited about...

When I see/hear about William Hague I always think of this clip.

I sat in the gallery in the House of Commons many, many moons ago and watched a debate. Hague gave a speech and I kid you not, whilst I disagreed with nearly everything he said, I wanted to stand up and applaud his oratory skills. I had to sit on my hands.

I visited a friend yesterday and for some reason I thought of you @coffeejo Lets just say I understand the problems with the cone of shame more thoroughly! At this point I was getting backed against the door by an enthusiastic dog and didn't realise the postman was standing on the other side of the glass door trying to post a letter into my head!

I sit on a committee which starts at 12.00 and ends at 6.00pm (it always over-runs by 2 hours) reviewing research protocols. It's a combination of mind-numbing tedium and head-exploding complexity with death by acronym in between.

I can imagine that being the expression as the day rolls on.....

That is ginourmous, poor pooch.

Apparently he had a smaller one but it he was still able to reach the wound! He still just managed to lick my leg and scrap it with the cone at the same time.

That's why Idiot Dog has her satellite dish!

It has to be said he is a great orator, it's a voice that is enjoyable, even captivating at times to listen to. Galloway is also a great speaker although he very much makes himself a fly in the ointment.(not always a bad thing) You tube his appearance in front of the the Senate (I think) answering questions about the oil for food program.

I disagree about Galloway - he has always made my skin crawl.

I walked past a old chap, in the supermarket yesterday, who smelt very strongly of TCP.

I agree he is repugnant but he is still a great speaker. He has drama.

I intended cycling to work today.
