Quite a good quiz on which policies the candidates for London mayor have you most agree with although there's no big ideological differences between them in reality.

Poll: London mayoral vote first preference?

Came back on monday from a two week cycling holiday in Cuba. Cycled 620KM around the island covering most of it apart from the American all inclusive resort in Guatanamo Bay "that you won't be able to bring yourself to leave" (C) Bush Administration 2001.

Poll: is that US trade embargo on Cuba justified? 

At The Anchor.

Inside: quick catchup...

After the gay pride march on saturday.

Pros

* Lots of ladies getting their tits out for the girlies

Cons

* Spending an hour thinking you are getting somewhere with a couple of fitties and they turn out to be lesbian gym teachers.

Poll: are you glad cigarettes have been banned from all clubs and pubs in the UK?

Yep, it's no longer Prime Minister Blair from later on today. Neville Chamberlain had a very sucessful economic record in the pre-war period from 1937-39 and Anthony Eden got rid of rationing but they are known today for their disastrous foreign policy and the same will go for Blair. Not too sure about Gordon Broon... seems too broody, humourless and scottish for my tastes. We shall see...

Are we still going for a beer at the Anchor on Friday?

Poll: sad to see Blair go?

Finally thanks to Dead Sea breaking its back and a bit of the ol' steriod cream, I'm now almost psoarisis free after 10 years of it. Nice smooth skin rather than flaky and itchy crap. Don't have it in the scalp either so no permament "dandruff". Can wear shorts and tee shirts without embarassment.

Poll: which religion do you think Blair should have converted to?

My sister is getting married in August and I have to chauffeur the bride etc in the ol' Alfa Romeo (suitably cleaned up etc) as they want to cut costs in already very expensive wedding. So no drinking at the wedding for me then :(

Are Husi drinks this Friday at the Anchor? It's just that weather looks to be a bit shit this week.

Poll: is Lewis Hamilton going to win the F1 Championship?

Don't really mix especially if you work in Central London where you have to pay £8 for privilege of driving at 10 MPH if you're lucky then another £10 a day minimum for parking. Add to that eye watering expensive petrol by Usian standards. I'm quicker cycling or getting the train to be honest. Learned to drive only when I was 27. Have owned three cars though in the 10 odd years though.

I don't want a stupid day to instill some artificial sense of ahistorical Britishness, I don't need them preaching about alcohol abuse at people who have a bottle of wine. A totally unecessary ID card and the police having powers to demand "papers please".

Dunno, had a raging hard on at work for some reason yesterday but my Anti Raging Stiffie Enabler (ARSE) was Pope Benedict. Whether its a residual thing about Popes left over my Catholic schoolday or his stern visage, it worked a treat - crisis averted thanks to the pontifex maximus.

Poll: What do you guys (or girls) use as your ARSE?

The Dead Sea that is...

Thoughts and impressions of day 5 of "Operation Nuke My Psoarisis". Sorry no photos as I forgot my USB cable for my K800i.
