The Only Blog That’s Fit To Read

I’m off to a wedding this weekend if you must know. I know you’ll join me in wishing the happy couple Gavin Pretor-Pinney and his lovely fiance Liz a most wonderful day, and a most wonderful life. Actually Gav’s already doing quite nicely, having penned ‘The Cloud Spotter’s Guide’, which is selling by the shed load.
I have elected to camp – probably for the last time this year. The car is packed with all the necessary bits – I’ve even been to Dad’s Shop in Mortimer to purchase torch batteries. Perhaps some of you will find it surprising that I am not staying in a cosy little B and B. I prefer to rough it. In fact, I’ve camped several times this summer, and must recommend a night under canvas to anybody who hasn’t tried it. It’s not much different to collapsing drunk in a ditch of course but it should be dry.
Anyway, enough of camping. In my bid to be topical, I shall now comment on Jack Straw and the veil issue. The solution is glaringly obvious. Rather than asking these ladies to remove their garments – something mps have been doing for centuries, why doesn’t he don a mask himself when speaking to them? With Halloween just round the corner, the shops are filling with the things – Scream skulls, Saddam Hussein masks, George Bush – how about an Osama mask? This would immediately put them at their ease and heal any breach in community relations. What’s David Blunkett’s view on the situation by the way? He’s being uncharacteristically quiet these days.

What else is happening in Moore World? Well, I am about to have my website redone. We must all modernise if we are to survive mustn’t we?
In case any of you don’t know, I’ve got one of those myspace sites – johnmoore23 I believe it is. I’ve got an enormous amount of friends, which is heartening because Mother is threatening to throw me out after the bacon sandwich incident.

Well that’s all for now. Have a lovely weekend.
