10,000 Brummies can't be wrong!

The AB and me are off for a girlie week in London - she is coming to laugh at me recording voice overs and then we are doing eating, shopping, and cultural stuff - well the British Museum, Mary Poppins and a backstage tour of the Royal Opera House. The TB is off staying in a golf club in deepest Suffolk so don't go feeling sorry for him.

Anyway given that I'm away for a week there are a number of things I'd like to tell you about/Ask your opinion on.

1. Jordan/Kerry Katona - this is my theory. Kerry Katona is broke and hitched to a no name waster. Her mate Jordan is worried about her and they therefore concoct a fictitious argument to keep Kerry in OK mag and the pay cheques coming..discuss.
And yes before you ask, we read all the gossip mags, Heat,OK, Hello. They go around the office on the same circulation list as The Solicitor's Journal and the Estates Gazette.

2. Yesterday we had an afternoon out with the CCS (the Chav Cheering Section) for complex reasons the AB, TB and me were crammed in the NIA with 10,000 Brummies cheering on the live version of "Dancing On Ice". It was spectacular and Chris and Jane are certainly impressively dancing on into thier dotage - they must have a combined age of over 90! But way to make money - 2 shows, 10,000 in each £44 a ticket , that's a million a day! I'd come out of retirement for that.

The audience was largley comprised of the fat, chav and bewildered and most of them had brought their Gran as well. But apart from the TB muttering "I've stopped believing in evolution as of now!" it was a good afternoon. Although a particular high spot was on they way out of the car park- when a small, round stripy child nipped out of the back of the Corsa which was in front of us in the queue and pulled a take away pizza box out of the boot. obviously cold pizza in the boot in case of nutritional emergency..now why didn't I think of that?

Lippy send me an email to auntymarianne at skynet dot be and I'll answer your question about other agri treaties. Starter clue: aside from EEC 25/3/57, you should look at EFTA as a treaty to which Britain was a signatory prior to accession. As the EU uses trade as its major political theme, you should also look at the wider trade web into which the EU draws Britain such as the Meda agreements for free trade with neighbours across the Med, the ACP/EU development and trade agreements (Cotonou) with ex-colonies (beware budgetary arrangements there) and the agri elements of Agreements for Europe and other pre-accession instruments, as an example see our current trade status with Turkey.



Most of this can be found anyway on http://europa.eu

Blimey, from chavs and pizza to treatys.

Try visiting the Tate Modern. Always good for a laugh and for stimulating conversation. I find the place as inspiring as it is rediculous.

As a bonus you get to walk across the wobbly foot bridge.
