'The Great Prime Ministerial Debate'


Today at 8.30pm in Manchester, British political history was made...the main party leaders came together for the first ever televised debate in the run up to the general election.

Although, I was torn between watching this and Welcome to Lagos on BBC2, I feel that the former was an event not to be missed. You know, history and all that. Usually, the papers disagree with me (lol) but I believe that the debate was only beneficial for the Liberal Democrat leader, Nick Clegg. He was calm, composed and in control of himself. I found myself thinking...'I wish it was a viable option to vote for this man'. But I'd rather vote for a feeble Labour than vote for a viable Liberal Democrat candidate because splitting the vote will let in HIM....David Cameroon (yuck!). It's a shame, but Politics is a game.

But anyway, back to the debate...What was the fuss? Look, the British sensibilities do not allow the debate to get as interesting as these things do in the US. And nothing up for the vote is interesting enough to grip me or most of the people I know. It's all personality, it's all very American and I can't stand it. We have a parliamentary system, not a presidential system of government and for me this does not fit the UK. And I wonder how much this will turn on the electorate. Brown was still the staid, calm, figure-quoting Brown. Cameron was the same 'suave', makes-me-sick-to-my-stomach, fake-Blair, Cameroon. But Clegg, ahhhhh, CLEGG...for me was a breath of fresh air. Instead of playing the role of the LibDem stuck between the two 'big' parties, he genuinely seemed to have a distinct platform for his party. HOWEVER, I'm happy they had the debate because at least now Nick Clegg is getting play, which is going to get the other two scared. At least a little.

I doubt that in and of itself that this debate would have made a big difference to who will become the next Prime Minster and what the turn-out would be. But the only lingering soundbite I got from this little show, which was purely a nasty accident by Gordon Brown and David Cameron....'I agree with Nick!'

Of Links...and Celibacy

I got an issue...

An old erhmmm, friend and I recently starting talking. I got a bit silly and excitable...and, hell, I was bored. So I decided to see if I could spark up some interest in me. Sure enough three days later Rude Boy is talking about links. Now, I am a woman and I have needs blah, blah, blah...but me and dude have always been strictly friends. And I'm celibate right now (yay for me! :D) so I don't even wanna mix it up, not looking for a link. Now I know that to a certain extent I have been gassing to this dude, basically just chatting nonsense...to an extent. And I know you can't kid a kidder, and that has always been him for sure. I know Rude Boy is gassing too, but I just don't know how far...Hmmm. Problem is he really does have my attention now. And for some unknown (ok, maybe not exactly unknown) reason I informed Baby Boy of this potential new link. Now the shit has hitteth the fanneth...Someone confiscate my BB cuz the devil sure does make work for idle hands...

Life has been a bit flat recently and this is definitely interesting...

Music: Anthony Hamilton

This post is dedicated to the smooth Neo-Soul tones of the man, Anthony Hamilton. If you don't know; GET TO KNOW. Period.

I think this man's voice is beautiful. I mean literally the first time I heard him, I turned around to stare at the radio, like, woooooooooooooooah, who is THAT? I remember the first time I watched Coach Carter, I was grabbed my the theme tune to the film which is, Comin' From Where I'm From. I was so agitated by the haunting, sad and beautiful quality of the song I went on a mini mission to find it, and who did I find? None other than the magnificent Mr. Hamilton.

So I go the song, then the album Coming From Where I'm From then other albums and even went backwards to find him in the archives.

Now anyone who knows me knows I probably have too much music, seriously, I have to catch myself from time to time to stop it being an obsession. A very real obsession. So anyhooo my iTunes is shuffling through my Neo-Soul and this beautiful music comes out of the lappy to seduce my ears...Charlene. So i'm gonna give you my 5 favourite Anthony Hamilton songs, be warned they may well be sad, it's tear-shedding stuff!

Here we go:
PASS ME OVER
This song is so beautiful it used to make me cry.

DEAR LIFE

CHARLENE

CAN'T LET GO

SOUL'S ON FIRE
This helped we wallow then come through the worse break up of my life :(
