This morning I’ve completed my effort to validate this site in HTML 4.01 Transitional and CSS, which you can see by the little yellow buttons at the bottom of pages.
Incidentally, I know that the post pages still have 4 errors in. It’s Blogger’s fault, they’re putting “&” and missing the ‘amp;’ in their ‘Email this post’ scripts, and I’ve emailed them about it.
Not the most flattering pose either! But haha, meet Mr. Cooper, the systems admin at school. He’s nicer than he looks 
What happened today? Oh, how could I forget. THE TORIES CAME FOURTH! Oh, I was laughing heartily for a loooong time after I heard that. That’s right, the ‘official opposition’ came in fourth place in the Hartlepool by-election, despite a government that is in deep shit over Iraq. Serves you right, bunch of Thatcher’s loonies you. Shame.
“There is no point pretending otherwise. It is a blow,” said Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary David Willetts.
Nicholas Soames, the shadow defence secretary, was more honest.
“A fucking awful result.”
I had the opportunity, along with Tara Stroud, of interviewing Sarah Teather today, Liberal Democrat MP for my area – Brent East.
It was a very interesting and wide-ranging conversation, of which only a portion will be fitted into the local newspaper project I’m currently involved in via the school. I won’t post many spoilers here, but I can settle one issue straight away – Sarah Teather will not be launching a blog! Awww, yes I know, but she’s an honest person who is not afraid of answering any question which is thrown at her.

(A Tory-supporter on MSN who I know recently had as his nickname, in block capitals, GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK HEADS, THE LIB DEMS WILL NOT BECOME THE OFFICIAL OPPOSITION! I guess anger usually goes hand in hand with denial, hmmm? )
This blog is officially dedicated to Kareem, Joshua, Jason and everyone else at QPCS who has embraced randomism in a huge, heart-felt way, and requested a shout out in this here blog. Go random things, like leather trousers and eating scorpions!
(Don’t ask, just don’t.)
I’m also exhausted at pumping out yet more coursework (History is the culprit tonight) and having… SHOCK HORROR… run out of printer ink! Ah well, the role of women in World War Two looks so much better when it’s faded ink on the page, don’t ya think? No, neither do I. It’s the tiredness talking.
In IT news today, you will no longer be able to check your Hotmail from Outlook or Outlook Express without paying, which makes be even more glad I moved off that rubbish system ages ago. Could it be anything perhaps to do with the fact that you only get the ads via Hotmail.com? Well, they claim it’s to stop spammers, apparently. Judge for yourself.
Well, I tried and failed to purchase the domain ‘dominic.me.uk’ – and so decided to upgrade my hosting account instead. Why? I’m not too sure. I think I just felt the need to spend money on something tonight!
