Still recovering after a 5 hour road trip from Amanda's mum's in Warminster.
It took 2 hours and 15 minutes to get down there on Thursday night - 150 miles door-to-door, with Esme chattering about anything and everything. She was particularly fascinated by the motorway names, and when we would get on/off each one. M54, M6, M5, M4 then to Bath and then Warminster. "Are we still on the number 5?" I think she must have asked that maybe a hundred times, I know it's a long motorway, but still.
She finally joined Bradley in the land of nod and only woke again when we arrived, but only briefly. Bradley, however, was full of beans and dead excited about being at Nanny's. He kept it up for a couple of hours, playing with his bubbles, running into rooms and mostly, sitting on my lap, "daddy's boy."
After finally sorting out the insurance for the Renault 5 I leave at 12.15pm on Friday. I'm doing 80-85mph up the motorway, as I was on the way down. Hit West Bromwich and crunch. I'm stuck in traffic for three frigging hours. Finally, I see the accident, a lorry has spilt it's load of wire thingies. Just before the M5 splits to go south or north on the M6--three lanes down to one. And arrive at home at 5.05pm.
"I really don't think it's funny. I'm not supposed to ever be the victim. Women really are very complicated indeed. Why can't they just be normal like men?
Well, it's back to work in the office. I asked my secretary to print out one of my Word documents, but she had a bit of trouble doing that.
I must start reading this guys Aston Villa blog more. Very fuuuunnnny.

"Speaking of 'targets', Rumsfeld, like his master George Bush, proves that he has the same lizard-like cold blood as he showed to the world that he too has no regard whatsoever for the value of human life."
Russia seems a bit against the war ";->"

"French President Jacques Chirac said yesterday that France would not support a new United Nations resolution that would allow the US and Britain to administer postwar Iraq.

Speaking at a European Union summit, Chirac said he would "not accept" a resolution that "would legitimise the military intervention (and) would give the belligerents the powers to administer Iraq. That would justify the war after the event," Chirac said."
I thought France would want to get the UN to run Iraq, they may then have a chance to reclaim some oil contracts, loans etc..

""People are loving the pictures of the man with the white flag," said Freddie Tulloch of financial bookmaker IG Index. "The war has been hanging over this market for so long.""
For weeks before the war I have heard business friends wishing that the US would route around the UN, "just get on with it, nobody's doing anything till this war's over." Looks like they were right.

"At the special summit of European Union leaders in Brussels, originally called to discuss progress on economic reform, European commission President Romano Prodi warned that the war could undermine the confidence of households and investors, crucial to a revival in the euro zone's flagging economy."
A lot is riding on a fast clean war.
