How you've created a vibrant campaign

Well, the law prevents my indulging in electoral issues today – but I just wanted to say how much I’ve enjoyed our campaign season on Snowblog.

I’m particularly grateful to Adrian Clarke for remaining the grit in our oyster and staying the course – he never misses a trick. Jim Flavin, Margaret, Meg, Kristine, Annie, Patrick, Tom Wright, Richard-of-Nottingham, Paul Begley Saltaire Sam – I can’t name them all, but I read and enjoy the conversations and I hope they will continue.

Viv Lever I feel for you – I used to live in South Kilvington (Thirsk&Malton) before I was even old enough to vote. You, with your cobbled market place, steep hills, ruined abbeys, gorgeous country, and Old Peculiar, may yet hold the nation’s destiny in your hands. We have to wait for your decision until 27 May (a candidate died during the campaign).

I’ll strike up again on the politics tomorrow – we shall have much to rake over.

Today I’m musing about BP’s potentially hopeless effort to lower a 100 ton dome onto the oil gush 5,000 feet below sea level.

I’m looking at Greece. Oh and Goodluck Jonathan, whose Nigerian name alone intrigues as he takes over from the now actually dead President.

I’ll probably come up with something else before the day is done.
