Off On One Again: Complaining to the Conservatives

Off On One Again

A blog of no interest to anyone apart from me. Highly egotistical. Somewhat ironic that once upon a time people kept diaries secret. Now we publish to the world, even if no-one is listening (or reading). This may include stuff on Greece, history, rugby, cricket, Health and Safety, Wales, genealogy and West Hendred. It will almost certainly include complete rants about things I find amusing, interesting or annoying. There is no guarantee that anyone will share my views!

About Me

Name: Jonathan

37, forgetful, cynical, sarcastic, would like to have been a struggling artist but ended up with a PhD in chemistry. Got bored with being in the lab, fell into Health and Safety and now can't get out of science without taking a pay cut. Rather enjoying the diversion into Environmental compliance. Unfit and terminally depressed. Lovely wife Sam - just about all that keeps me together. Son Rafferty GFX Hall born 24 Oct 2005 is growing up quickly. Greyhound (Buddy), cats (PJ and Boots), tortoises (Tinkerbell and Compost). Learning Greek at Evening Classes. Play Cricket badly for Didcot CC, haven't played rugby for years and am a little annoyed about that. According to my medical, am clincially obese. Earn far too little. Completed H&S and Environmental Diplomas

Complaining to the Conservatives

The Conservative party sent their pre-election leaflets around houses in Wantage and area recently. The spelling and punctuation was simply atrocious, including spelling "Hanney" as "Hanny", and using the grocers' apostrophe liberally. I replied to them on their feedback slip (not being rude), pointing out that it did not look good if they could not even spell the name of the village for which their candidate was standing as the prospective MP. I came back from Lincolnshire last weekend and had a grovelling message on my answerphone apologising and saying that the leaflet should never have been sent as it was!

Whatever next - I have had a letter in the Telegraph, an apology from the Tories and I agreed with a Sun campaign!

Is this a new Jonathan?

I dont know how I'll vote but it wont be for a tranny in a rossette at didcot station. You know what trouble Jerome got into.

Fwaff Fwaff.; April 13, 2005
