The Importance of Being Idle

Well Duh!

Okay so I didn't stay up for all the election results at all, it got to be pretty dull pretty quickly. New Labour are back, but with a severely reduced majority. I suppose that could have an interesting effect on the way Tony does business, 'cos there are enough 'rebels' there to make his life difficult. Time will tell I guess.
What is interesting is that right now some of the elder statesmen of British politics are talking about the election and the result, and their mis-givings echo mine. Never thought I'd actually agree with Lord Tebbit on anything, but even if I disagree with his politics (and I do very vigorously) I certainly agree with his view that the various campaigns weren't about anything. Nobody discussed issues, nobody wanted to present their vision for the future, nobody wanted to talk about dealing with any of the problems looming on the horizion. Just shows how much politics has changed I guess...
I don't know what I'm gonna get up to today. Its actually not the finding of things to do that is hard, cos I hav plenty of those. The motivation is hard, I'll admit that. What's really difficult is knowing that I'm not likely to see or talk to another human being till sometime next week. I don't really consider myself a gregarious person, but I guess we all need some human contact, even me.
