Hey scribbles - we made the BBC front page
I say 'we'. I mean Canada. It doesnt often make the top of the news back home, but this was showing tonight on the BBC website.

A vote of no confidence in Paul Martin's government has led to it falling, defeated in the vote today by 171 votes to 133. One of you at least can tell me how many no votes/abstensions that means!! (You know who you are!)
Unfortunately, the election is expected on 23 January, so I will miss it. Gutted. I spent all this summer hoping to miss our own vote last May (sadly, my travel arrangements just couldnt sort themselves quickly enough..). It will be interesting to see how an election is fought out here.
Scribbles - keep watching!

Oh God, that tme I was caught on camera by the beeb running naked down my local High street wearing only a WBA scalf and doc boots flashed through my mind for a moment.
I'm glad Matt that Canada being on the BBC website causes such excitement for you. Is the snow getting to you?
(NB - story of me running naked down High Street and caught on camera just a joke. I was never caught on camera)
Note on your comment on my blog - If we can't party in December we'll do it in the New Year, or even at New Year if necssry. People welcome to stay over. Want as many friends to be able to come as poss, but I know it's difficult because you've all got lives and I haven't even got a neck that works.
