I like to spend a good 40-50 minutes in the bath every morning. Not necessarily bathing myself much of the time, just thinking.  |

This case has been in the British media quite a bit. It's utterly sick, quite frankly.
And I was only in Bury yesterday too... excellent market there. |

| I take an interest in politics, I suppose - but it's not an obsession. I would characterise my political beliefs as being free-market liberal (libertarian). |

| I think there's something rather dodgy about all this. If he hadn't already had a conviction in a court in the United Kingdom for child porn offences the British tabloids would be jumping up and down claiming his innocence. If the whole thing didn't have the abhorrent stench of chequebook journalism... |

| My BIG BIG interest is public information films (PIFs) or public service announcements/PSAs as they're called in the USA. They're made by a branch of government called the COI (Central Office of Information), which has sold all its archive footage from before about 1995 to a private company, so I s... |

| If the car park is quiet, I wouldn't have too much of an objection to people using disabled parking spaces. Same with the parent and child ones really. If it's busy though, it's out of order. |

I doubt whether it would come up. The politician would have probably been taught how to hide it anyhow.
And no, it wouldn't make a blind bit of difference as to who I was going to vote for. |

| I've taken the Political Compass test before. It does seem very biased - almost everyone I've read who has taken it seems to get called 'left-wing' - even most right-wingers. It claimed I was left-wing and libertarian, although I'd probably see myself as being centrist/centre-right and liberal. Some... |
