between us.
He's got a wife called Sarah and one of my best friends which came to Gem
and mine wedding is called Sarah.
He's Scottish and I love Scottish short bread and Aberdeen Angus beef
burgers.
And a fact that isn't that well known is that under the description in the
Disability discrimination act he is visually impaired as he's blind in 1
eye. To read documents he has to have them in large print. What I love most
is that he doesn't make a big deal about it and just gets on with his job.
That's how I hope I come across.
And have you ever seen him and me in the same room?
Well I'll let you in to a secret. I'm not actually Gordon Brown and right at
this time I don't want to be as we've just seen on the news that the
terrorism threat in the UK has just been up to the highest level possible.
Now it's often said that you shouldn't talk about politics and religion but
I'm not much in to keeping rules.
I actually have quite high hopes for Gordon. I haven't ever voted for labour
but I've got a good impression of him so far. He actually seems to be pretty
thoughtful.
One of my major gripes about politics and particularly the Blair government
is that they were all say and didn't actually seem to get anything good
achieved. That they would over-react to situations and although Blair was
pretty good in front of a camera there was to much focus on spin and not
enough on actions. I have high hopes that Gordon is going to be more
substance focus and less in your face.
Now I know he reads this blog so my challenge to him is that he can prove
that politics isn't just away of giving jobs to people that wouldn't be able
to get them in other industries.
Let's put it this way, He can't be any worse than the excuse the Americans
have for a president and hopefully a Brown Government won't be such of a lap
dog to the Americans that the Blair government was.
Write, Well that's enough on politics, in baby news The little one is trying
to kick her way out of Gem and we can now see hands and feet, elbows and
knees making lumps which is just fantastic.
My next post will probably be on Wednesday now after the antenatal classes.
That's unless I feel like getting on another soap box.
Take care.
Nick.
