#125 on Cerrie Burnell and Handrew
You may be aware of the story about Cerrie Burnell, the disabled Cbeebies presenter who became the subject of complaints from parents who believed their children would be disturbed at the sight of her disability.
I wonder if the same parents have complained about Handrew the presenter with just 1 arm and no body?

#124 on feeling like george w bush
I don't recall the details precisely but in a nutshell big george stood on the deck of an aircraft carrier soon after the invasion of Iraq and proudly announced the war was over.
I heard he regretted it in a leaving the presidency interview. the comment not the war but that's another story.
Anyway assuming for a moment that it was his idea to say it and that he really meant it I kinda know how he feels.
Anyone who knows me well will know something of my own personal war I've been fighting over the past few months - not in the middle east, no closer to home in my own head. And I'm feeling that I might just have won...
...but a nagging doubt keeps me wondering if I, like George, am being a little premature.
Probably, but then again, by telling all you lovely hob blogglings I might have fought and won one more battle in my own personal war.
those of you who have held me up these past few months - family, old job, new job, church, the greenbelt set et al - I could not have done it without you. But most of all my heart goes out A. nuff sed.
