Looking rough

couple of weeks ago my grilfriend said i looked rough, which at the time i thought was harsh, however i did.Last night / this morning ( another night out last night so dont remember) a close friend of mine said a simillar thing. Ive always been a relativly scruffy man and i havent slept well for a long time so i always look a bit like i have crawled out of bed. I think recently its got alot worse, i could blame everything thats gone on in my life but thats not an accuse to be visaully offensive. i think poeple see me as unclean and rough, which isnt great. So today i am going to get my hair cut , maybe buy some new colthes just so i look alot cleaner and healther. Thats another thing , my drinking/sleeping habits are begininng to scare me, its making me irritable and restless. Apparently there was an earthquake in kent this morning, a tiny one. one that felt like the lorry driving past the house.....( for veiwes who called into news 24... this is not a life threating event) it was interesting for a little bit thou, with the police investingating an expolsion which could have shook the houses , but it was all a flase alarm, now a explosiosn which would be large enough to shake the houses in the next county , that would have been news. Bad news , but news. More later when you get to meet , less hung over/ more clean/ shorter haired/ bettter Dan


Oh by the way, the articles on the right had side of the page, in the box titled "stuff im reading" there are news artcilces im reading i have read and those articles that are relivant to my blog at the moment. for those of you who want a higher standard of journalisum

Update time

i promise a deep philoshoical post about the result of the french elections, however the french vote twice , the first time with all candiates and the secound time with the top two candiates from first round ( unless a canididate get an overall majority in first round) so i will do two longer and more in depth peices either side of the secound round of voting. In the first round the socailist Royal and the right wing Sarkozy got the most vote ( about 25% and 30% repectivly) with Sarkozy favored to win overall. the other stand out fact is that almost 85% of poeple voted , a huge figure compared to most european nations, inculding the UK.Who said politics was dead

Polls about to close and its crunch time for french politics

The polls are due to close in the french presidential elections in about 20 mins ( thats if i have got it right with my times) with early exit polls due at about 6-ish. With opinion polls showing almost 30% of those planing to vote undecided in the run up to the election. There are two main candidates and two possible upsets. the two main candidates are the centre-right Nicolas Sarkozy (known for being tough on immigration .... and a bit of a knob) and socialist Segolene Royal who bids to be frances first female president (wants to make "france fairer" ). The two other candidates are Francois Bayrou a centrist who is expected to get some votes as Royal and Sarkozy are both really divisive figures, and the far-right Jean-Marie Le Pen who is the like of the french BNP , and therefore is a massive cu*t. Anyway there will be a more in depth annaylise later when results begin to flood in.


Not that anybody cares.... its only the french
