More politico reality-warping

This is from our latest Lib Dem 'Focus' newsheet (number 89):

I'm not sure what they're cheering about - the message of this graph is not 'only the Lib Dems can beat the Tories' (which plainly, they didn't), it's 'the Lib Dems recieved a slightly less round thrashing from the Tories than anyone else'.
I notice that the statistic that they've chosen to present is also very narrow, 'councillors in Cardiff North' - not Cardiff as a whole.

I may be back with more once I've actually read it.

Photographic Self-Promotion #6, Castell Coch

A few weeks ago, I decided to use some of my copious free time to cycle to Castell Coch and take some photos (I also ate a banana, and drank some water). You may notice that the castle itself is not in any of the photos, so I suppose you'll just have to take my word for it that they were taken there.
Castell Coch was built by The Marquis of Bute in 1871 (completed 1891) as a hunting lodge, and was barely used.

Photographic Self-Promotion #5, More St. Fagans

Despite being taken more than 9 months later, this next bunch of pictures from St. Fagans are the next set (chronologically) of interesting pictures that I have.


95% of blogs abandoned

News just in from the nerd community, apparently 95% of blogs are abandoned. Well, now it's (95% -1).
Don't worry, I have some new photos for more self promotion in the pipeline. I also have a photo of the complete rood screen, and very rood it is too (I may have to censor it before I put it up!).
