OK, I have a confession. I was back over a week ago, but have been thrust straight into exams on my return. Life's a beach, isn't it?

Anyway, posting will be slow (if it exists at all) until the end of the week when the exams are done and dusted for another few months, but you should be able to comment again - because I know everyone's been dying to tell me how much you've missed me!

There's so much I want to post on, most recently Gordon Brown's talk of some sort of "British Day" - something I think is a great idea (would he allow anyone in Northern Ireland to celebrate it?) - and his not so great idea of having it on Rememberence Day.

But it's hard enough to revise without spending long periods of time venting my general anger at the world, (and the fact that I don't rule it) - there's time enough for that after the exams!
