I have voted for you, Pete. I see you are just ahead. I thought you deserved it for being Birmingham's blogging evangalist, and for suffering as you did in 2004. I live in London. I am old enough to remember the first bit of the M1 London-Birmingham being opened with a great ribbon-cutting fanfare. I forget how quickly we were told how quickly we could then drive to Birmingham; maybe 20 minutes as there were so few cars! I haven't been in Brum in recent years, so haven't seen all the newer City Centre construction. Is everyone in the city pleased with the "new Birmingham"? Was increased long-distance motor travel for all good or bad in the long run, one wonders? P.S. I have voted for you, Pete. I see you are just ahead.

Just a note to say I came across your blog about your worst ever temp job. I am a silver surfer and was looking for temp.jobs which can be done by people like me. Well,there aren't any and looking at your description I see why. I wouldnt have lasted 5 mins. Employers know that they want male, young and strong if they are not to have lots of corpses on their hands. That would gum up the Health and Safety stats. wouldn't it? I am sure it was awful at the time but your write-up of it was highly amusing. Cynical ole me concludes that such jobs are little better than slavery. The teaching/supervisory role - for the same peanuts -is a favourite management trick. I am sure you've gone on to better things! It's worth getting qualified and later specialising in something lucrative that you can do til you drop. I found that out too late. All the best. Hi, Pete.

We'll see if I can sustain this lead. I know, but I got my campaigning in earlier than anyone else so I get the early bump. We’ll see if I can sustain this lead.
