Review of the year 2010 (part 2)

Continuing my personal review of 2010 :

So who's going to get the top job, then? The cunt or the bastard?

May :

At last. The snot gobbling Gorgon is no more! I got myself an interesting little earner by staying up half the night at my local leisure centre and counting the votes. Actually I just wanted to make sure the bastard didn't sneek back in while no-one was looking. Looking back at the campaign, I think this might have been a defining moment when the internet in the UK really established itself as a credible outlet for serious - and not to serious - political debate. I certainly felt I was getting better at it, and rediscovered my musical side which I hope you all enjoyed listening to as much as I did making.

After all the excitement, I buggered off to Greece still not knowing who was PM. I missed all the drama, but the Metaxa tasted good...

June :

Things settled down in June for a good old fashioned English summer - namely loads of bloody sport! We were subjected once again to the sulking schoolkid antics of Andy Murray failing once more to win Wimbledon. But oh! the drama! And once we were over that, there was the bloody World Cup where our ex-manager - needless to say, a foreigner - took players with him who never even got a game! And you know what you can do with your vuvuzela!

And when that was all over, the government decided that the finances the Labour left them were even worse that expected so we'd need a good CRAP to sort it all out. "Things can only get better..."

And then I buggered off to the Lakes for a break, only to discover that the seat I was sat in outside the local pub was last occupied by a fellow shot indiscriminately by a madman with a shotgun called Derrick Bird.

July :

It's the silly season when nothing much happens, but this year was different, The Labour party were fighting over Gordon's vacant job, Harman was talking bollocks as usual, Cleggy was dropping a gooly by referring to the 'illegal iraq war', and everyone was arguing over spending cuts - which off course should only be applied to someone else and - it was conveniently forgotten - had been suggest by Labour as well!

But the big news was Raoul Moate. As if Bird was bad enough the month before, we had a another nutter with a gun running round. Sickeningly, some people thought he was a really good person which prompted a new blog 'Unforgiven' run by a mate of mine to redress the balance. It's worth a look...

August :

August saw the death of the speed camera, which I suspect didn't bring tears to many motorists' eyes. Also, students started getting arsey - a sign of things to come later - about the lack of University places mainly caused by our old friend Gordon again. And then of course there was the upcoming Papal visit. I got into a little hot water with my views on that one.

The final part of my review of the year tomorrow...
