Not much posting…
I’m very aware that I haven’t posted much this month. Sorry about that. I will post more as my life becomes less busy!

10 million hits
Just a quick note to say that this site has just registered its 10,000,000th hit – Ten Million! Over half of those have been registered this year alone, meaning that the year-to-date has generated well over twice as many hits as the whole of last year. In four-and-a-half years, I’ve generated as many hits as the BBC does in a couple of days or less… That puts it in some kind of perspective, I guess…

You can’t win ’em all…
After holding my own in the non-aligned category of Iain Dale’s political blog rankings, I’m amused to see that overall I’ve dropped from being the 69th best political blog in the UK to, err, 198th. I guess you can’t win ’em all.
This week’s Gazette post was another eerily familiar one, though this one’s been reheated so many times now I fear it’s lost all nutritional value. Ah, well…

The Hypocrisy of Guantánamo
This week’s GazetteLive piece is The Hypocrisy of Guantánamo. The original, from more than two-and-a-half years ago, is here (or on page 164 of the book).

The medium is still not the message
My weekly GazetteLive bit is here: The Medium is not the Message. If it seems familiar, it might be because you read something similar in April. I chose it mainly because I like the pun in the title. Sad, but true.

I don’t remember that…?
Flicking through the Tesco Photobook I ordered of my elective in Canada, which arrived this morning, I note that many of the scenes are unfamiliar. All of them, in fact. The pictures are largely of Alie’s 90th birthday – or at least, I think they are. It’s hard to tell, because the text is in German… And the picutres, apparently, are set in Germany. The cover was right, the inside wasn’t mine. Tesco assure me they’ll sort it. We’ll see.

Parking made easy – but not at hospitals
My tenth Gazette piece is now online: Parking made easy – but not at hospitals. It’s basically another whinge. You read the early version of it here first, in July last year. The picture which accompanies the original is one of the most stolen from this site. So there you go.

National shock as 75% fail A-Levels
I’ve just posted a timely reworking of this post over on Gazette Communities: National Shock as 75% Fail A-Levels.
Thanks for all the emails and comments on this site – I am working through them, and trying to catch up, and I will get round to posting some new stuff here ASAP. Promise! It’s just taking me a while to catch up with things…
