...the original web guru and all round good guy

Just a wee update, it's been a busy month and lots of fun's been had! Saw The Cult at the Edinburgh Picture House last week, what an excellent gig, a reasonably small venue but the crowd were jumping and the music was loud!It was a bit of a surprise when Ian Astbury appeared on stage though, a bit of a Jim Morrison thing going on - not the lanky goth look we're used too! Still, didn't effect his performance, a great gig and lots of great music. As ever, it seems posting the gig on youtube is the done thing, but glad to see it's there, see how good The Cult were for yourself, here's Love Removal Machine (live in Edinburgh 07-Oct-09).

Wasn't quite so good next day - Caitlyn had a dental appointment and had to have a little filling - but had an anaesthetic injection rather than gel which she's used too - this was a major upset and does nothing but re-inforce her dislike of dentists (Any dentists care to comment???). Aside from the filling, it was a good report from the dentist, her teeth are doing fine, cleaning them well, even with the brace fitted in her mouth - the filling was on a baby tooth, so lets hope the "big" teeth are gonna be OK! I took the next day off work as C was still complaining about a sore mouth, still a quick shopping trip with Caitlyn soon sorted her out - even at her age, it seems "retail therapy" works wonders!

I’ve been doing a little surfing and found and excellent website which appears more unbiased than your average newspaper/TV channel/politician! It’s www.voterpower.org.uk, and details lots of interesting facts about your MP. I took a look at my constituency http://www.voterpower.org.uk/lanark-hamilton-east and was shocked to see just how little influence my vote’s going to have, take a look at yours! Another site giving some facts n figures about your MP is www.theyworkforyou.com, again I was interested to see how much/little my MP seems to do (the fact he’s only been present for about 50-60% of the votes speaks volumes to me - just wonder how the rest of the MPs do, much the same I imagine). Lots of other interesting stuff on both sites, even when it’s not election time, take a look, you’ll be surprised

http://www.theyworkforyou.com/mp/jimmy_hood/lanark_and_hamilton_east Jimmy Hood’s my MP (though why the change to "Jim" after being known as "Jimmy" for so long?)

Anyway, I doubt if anyone’s ever going to look at this page, but I hope you take a look at this, quite interesting answers to some commonly asked questions:
