Yet when asked by the authors if Mr Cameron wrote a memo or had to report back to the office about his trip, Alistair Cooke – in 1989 his boss at Central Office – said it was “simply a jolly”, adding: “It was all terribly relaxed, just a little treat, a perk of the job. The Botha regime was attempting to make itself look less horrible, but I don’t regard it as having been of the faintest political consequence.

I’ve had to mark all the Isaac and Hope pics as private after some dodgy activity. If you have a flickr account that has some actual pictures of your own, and you don’t have 200 favourites of kids in the bath, I’ll more than likely add you (if you are keen to see cool pics of my kids :)

One of the fantastic things about Twitter clients is how easy it is for users to jump from one to another. Just type in a username and password and off you go. It’s possible for anyone to write a Twitter client nowadays and have the opportunity to completely blow everyone else out of the water. It’s very exciting. Very democratic. And it certainly seems like everyone and their mother is trying to do just that.

You can also Google “Hotels in the Boondocks (or whatever city) area. Then start looking at websites. Look for key phrases. In the list of features “In room temperature control” should not be on the top. In fact, it shuld not BE there, if the place is at all decent. That, along with say, Sheets, ought to be a given.

Next year we should ask Bruce to do the logo earlier so we can put it on the website, and not just the shirts.
