Reflections

I feel like a quick recap on some of the things I might have commented on over the last 2 years - if I'd been blogging...

Russia turns off gas supply to Europe - No one saw that coming!

Barack Obama sworn in as 44th US President - A bit like Blair & Brown, no one could be worse than Bush.

Swine Flu officially declared a global pandemic - Did anyone really believe them? Well, politicians maybe.

Michael Jackson dies - Or did he???? Conspiracy theories abounded and the favourite was a faked death to escape his massive debts. How ridiculous - can anyone seriously believe that Jacko and Elvis could live together?

Barack Obama named as winner of Nobel Peace Prize 2009 - For what?

Windows 7 launched - I'm still on Vista but feel no ill effects so far.

Iceland have world's first lesbian head of government and then give us volcanic ash - There's something very odd about Iceland. This unpronounceable volcano displayed an unexpected reluctance to refrain from spewing ash into our atmosphere and the initial flight ban quickly became an obvious and embarrassing display of knee jerk overreaction.

BP spill oil into Gulf of Mexico - Oops.

Football World Cup held in South Africa - Best ever, and shows how we can hate and then learn to love something as irritating as the vuvuzela (bit like The X Factor)

Swine Flu pandemic officially declared over - Well, that was a relief...

Labour & Brown defeated - Hu-bloody-rah
