Return to Romania
My family are Hungarians from Romania. My parents fled Romania in the 1970’s to escape persecution. After the revolution in 1989 we organised an aid mission and returned to see the family we’d left behind. Reporters from the local newspaper – the Basingstoke Gazette – and from local TV – TVS at the time – came with us. My brother and I found these when we were clearing my parents house a few weeks ago. 🙁

On the role of the House of Commons…
What I said was correct. This was the expressed will of the House. If people choose not to take part in a Division, they cannot suddenly say, “Well, we didn’t lose”. We are elected to come to this place to debate and decide what our position is on motions. If people choose not to vote, that is perfectly in order, as I have explained, but the motion was carried. That is not an expression of opinion on my part. It is not an indication of bias, a display of partisanship, a siding with one party or another; it is a statement of fact. The motion was passed. End of subject.…

10 Common Website Mistakes
1. Thinking of your website as a brochure. It seems like it should be a good metaphor, but a website is fundamentally not the same as a brochure. Brochures are flat, linearly read objects. Websites don’t need to be flat and certainly aren’t read linearly. Thinking of your site as brochure stops you from understanding the power having your own website gives you and it can encourage you to have the wrong approach towards keeping it updated. Brochures are designed, finalised and then printed. They become unchangeable at a certain point. Websites are never really “finished”. It’s not just that they can change, in my experience, they will change. They…

Vote Labour to save the NHS
Thought I’d fill out one of these social media surveys… Can you do this without lying? Absolutely. 1. What was the last thing you put in your mouth? An intention to Vote Labour to save the NHS. 2. Where was profile picture taken? On my sofa where I decided to Vote Labour to save the NHS. 3. Did you play Pokémon go? Go Vote Labour tomorrow to save the NHS. 4. Name someone that made you laugh today? The front pages of the right wing press who are utterly desperate that you not Vote Labour to save the NHS. 5. How late did you stay up last night? Quite late,…

Eurovision Fashion Trends 2017
Well, for all the stuff about winners wearing white, it turned out not to be a popular colour. Black was the most favoured (16 acts), with white trailing at 6 acts. Grey was the next favoured, with red also chosen by a couple. See through skirts and full leg slits, whilst popular in the semis, didn’t make it to the final. Just three of each of those. Pinterest worthy hairstyles also faired badly in the semis, with just three in the final. Faking it with instruments remains popular. 7 acts did that. Not many weird ethnic instruments this time though. Faux animals(!), leather jackets, masks, sleeves that become gloves and…

Star Wars, Carrie Fisher and the subject of mental health are all subjects close to my heart, so obviously I had to join in with this. #glitterforcarrie

Websites Update
I’m aware it’s been ages since I updated my sites. Sometimes life gets in the way of, well, life. I’ve been busily updating sites and creating a few new ones. This site has been given a makeover to be a better hub for all my stuff. Photo galleries have been improved. I’m still shuffling the content around and going back through my archives to add more. Global Domination Enterprises, my fanfic site, has been given a new look and I’ve added a bunch of old stories that haven’t seen the light of day in a while. I’m still working on improving the pagination of chapters, but the content is now up…
