RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted May 5, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 5, 2011 Morning all. It looks as if it could rain but the forecast is for it to remain dry. Matthew is quite looking forward to voting today for the first time. I haven't seen anyone out canvassing or even any posters. While taking the dog for a walk Matthew managed to meet some chap delivering leaflets on behalf of one of the referendum campaigns and have a discussion.

RMweb Premium eldavo Posted May 5, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 5, 2011 Morning All, A few oktas about but still bright. No great plans today so I really ought to do some modelling. Voting is a risky business for us as the polling station is the pub! Luckily my regular local drinking buddy has to go elsewhere to vote otherwise it would have been a case of going from the polling station to the bar and another day gone. Hope the changes to your wife's employment situation work out for the best BoD. Working is not all it is cracked up to be but the money does come in rather handy!

Guest Max Stafford Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Cloudy here this morning and the occasional very light shower. Just about to take Abi for a walk. I think I might abstain from voting this year as there's no- one out there who speaks for ordinary working people and I don't believe in political parties any more in any case. Not a clue about AV. Lots of invisible backers have put huge amounts of money into telling us why it's bad but they've omitted to tell us why FPTP is better although I suspect, the preservation of big party monopolies has much to do with it. On the other hand, AV is likely to further the establishment of a professional political class which is something I'm also against. Therefore I think I'll abstain today. Since the weather's uncertain, it will be modelling today! :-) Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted May 5, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 5, 2011 Just back from church. The local polling station used to be in the primary school at the end of the road but moved to the church a few years ago. I'll just start a few of the household tasks before taking Robbie for a walk. Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Morning, lads. Rain gone, nice here but chilly and windy. Good luck with the elections. Let's trust that everything will get better. All the best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted May 5, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 5, 2011 As my scottish friends put it anyone who wants to be a politician should be banned from being one. Dave a party to represent people who work for a living ought to be started but it isn't going to be me, see rule one above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 45156 Posted May 5, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 5, 2011 Afternoon All Still off the air at home, got somebody coming tomorrow to sort out the computer (hopefully). A bit dull here today, and I actually stopped at the voting station on the way to work today, and made my mark - TBH I had no real inclination to do so, but 30747 was going, and said I should exercise my right to vote - and to exercise my right to change (or not to change) how I vote - so I did, but I put two choices for the change to the voting system - wasn't that right? Other than that, great news Moo - you can drive again, but do you really want to with all the nutters on the road nowadays? Break over, so back to work now.

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted May 5, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 5, 2011 We just had a very nice dinner at a Korean restaurant just a few minutes from here, which we had never tried thus far. I don't recall the exact name of what I had ordered, but it was some variation of bulgogi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted May 5, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 5, 2011 We just had a very nice dinner at a Korean restaurant just a few minutes from here ... Not too many Korean restaurants near here but my sat nav did seem to report their location (a national flag with a knife and fork icon) when we were in Germany last summer. Matthew is going back to university on Sunday so we thought we would take him out to a Chinese restaurant tomorrow evening. The food in his university hall is apparently OK but "bland" but Leicester itself has plenty of non bland eating places. Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium eldavo Posted May 6, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 6, 2011 Morning All, Bright again despite the fact I'm due to play golf this morning. I'm sure all this dry weather is entirely down to the fact that I've seeded an area of grass! More accurately, I have an area of dust with some grass seed. Have a good one all.

Guest Max Stafford Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Good morning chaps. Yesterday Abi and I had a trip into the Roxburghshire hills on one of my occasional Waverley Route pilgrimages. The WR Heritage Association are doing very well with their scheme up on the hill at Whitrope and it's nice to see even a single line curving round as you come down the road off the top of Sandy Edge. It's raining up here today but the garden badly needs it. Temperatures are going up too so that will set everything growing well now. Now, should I strike off further into Waverley country today or do some modelling? I'm torn! Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted May 6, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 6, 2011 Do some modelling Dave the dog needs the rest! The waverly route thing is two things one is the remote landscape the other that it was a lifeline for communities along the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
