Back Blogging

I’ve been on holiday in Croatia and Montenegro, which is why this blog has gone silent.  In spite of the best efforts of Heathrow’s security systems I got back home last night.  My flatmate told me I hadn’t missed anything here since the only news has been about Michael Jackson and Andy Murray.   Jackson was all over the Croatian press as well, and we got snippets if we were staying in a place with a television that received CNN.  CNN is thoroughly irritating as on any international news item about eg Iran about half the time is taken up with telling you that 67% of the American public polled approve of how the President is handling the situation.  The parochial in full pursuit of the unknowledgeable.
