POOR NEGLECTED BLOG

Dear Reader

For one reason or another, I am a Donut has suffered from neglect in 2004. It's not going to get much better in the coming weeks. The author is heinously busy at work. So much so that there's not even enough time during lunch to blog. Next Sunday it's off to Delhi - hopefully without the Belly - for 5 days. Blogging is likely to be minimal or on hold until February. Right now, as you'll see, it's limited to Fotolog, Friday Five and Unconscious Mutterings.

But, there's more to life than work and reality TV.

On the silver screen, Cold Mountain was overblown Hollywood tosh. "Touching the Void" meanwhile was a gripping mountaineering documentary.

The mighty Spurs are on a roll. Mid-table respectability is the goal for this season unless they can get through a tricky away tie at Man City in the FA Cup. My non-league faves, Hitchin Town, have suffered a mass player exodus due to lack of dosh, but a couple of good results have seen them clear of the relegation places.

Kilroy - racist or vox populi? Apart from forgetting to check his facts, he's displayed staggering naivety and brazen stupidity.

Sign the petition calling for a full judicial inquiry into the misleading of Parliament and the public by Blair over Iraq and WMDs. (Despite Anita Roddick - I hate the Body Shop.)

Looks like the wheels are coming off the Howard Dean for President bandwagon. Ho hum. Dean has Mondale/McGovern poll disaster written all over him. Now will Nader run?

Network Rail want to rejig timetables to reflect the reality of train journeys. My train never runs on time. The simple reason is the reality that commuter trains cannot keep to the timetable, especially when it takes a minute or more for passengers to disembark and embark at most stations.

Meanwhile, I am a Donut, the original Donut, Commuterland and EHL Online are sadly neglected. An eight day week is called for.
