Another Souvenir

Jus' fillin' the spaces with some imagery y'know?

















This is a train ticket from a trip to Liverpool, I like these 'cause they remind me of my student days there, and even though it's rubbish (my last journey had a 40 minute delay!) the train journey is enjoyable and gets me all nostalgic so every now and again I like to keep a ticket, or even photograph it to remind me of the time I had - and it's nice to share so what the hey. What do your train tickets look like, is this standard for you - post a comment or a blog post.

Weekly Quote W/E 15/08/09

Finally found my quote book - in a pile as expected! I'm not gonna bother trying to catch up on the ones I've missed, but I'll just carry on with the next quote in the book.

"But with a lake as big as a small sea, a fourteen-foot dinghy with a brown sail waiting in the boathouse, and the little wooded island waiting for explorers, nothing but a sailing voyage of discovery seemed worth thinking about." - Swallows and Amazons, Arthur Ransome

This man should not be in parliament!!

Oh dear! I hear you say, with a weary sigh, what is it now?

More obscene expenses?

Another parliamentary sex scandal?

Quasi-racist policies?

No, I recently came across a report featuring a Lib Dem MP and immediately decide that parliament was not the place for him.

Why? Well because he has the coolest freakin' name ever!! A name that should only be reserved for elite military operatives or members of a superhuman rescue team. And so I believe this man should reign his commision as MP for Twickenham because he is the one, the only...














What a guy!! With Vince Cable as a driving force for the Libs, who knows, maybe Kal-El will rise up to be Conservative leader!!
