		<title>Every Little Helps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Went to Tescos in Hemel Hempstead on Saturday for breakfast, and arrived at the cafe at 7:30am to see no-one in the queue and dishes full of sausages, bacon, fried bread etc all ready to serve. We were then told that they didn't open until 8:00am. Now, the food was all prepared, I don't know [...]]]></description>

		<title>The power of insanity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Its St Georges day today. I notice Google hasn't bothered to mention it again this year. Unlike St Patrick's day of course. I'm afraid I hardly noticed. More seriously, its now exactly 6 weeks since Alan Johnston was forced at gunpoint into a car in Gaza. He is the BBC's Gaza correspondent, the only western [...]]]></description>

		<title>Worse than Murder</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Something really sad happened today. Gary McKinnon, the alleged Pentagon hacker, has lost his appeal against extradition to the US on hacking charges. Now this is a prime example of how the technology divide can cause unbelievable injustice. Basically the British establishment don't understand technology, or any science for that matter. Its full of lawyers [...]]]></description>

		<title>The media runs the country</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Patrick Mercer was the Tory shadow defence secretary until today, when he was sacked by David Cameron. He was sacked for being racist when he was interviewed in the Times:When he was in the army, he had met "a lot" of "idle and useless" ethnic minority soldiers who used racism as a "cover"... that being [...]]]></description>

		<title>Congestion Charging is all the rage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the main debates at the moment is how to solve the problem of traffic congestion. There has been a petition on the Downing Street website demanding that the Government scraps the idea of taxing cars per mile of travel. 1.7 million people have signed the petition supporting this. I didn't sign it, because [...]]]></description>

		<title>Who needs a colon anyway!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[August 2nd 2006 is the day I had my colon removed. As you know from previous posts, up until now I've been rather ill with Ulcerative Colitis. Well finally the medical profession have given me up as a bad job and passed me over to the surgical team to remove my colon. They have not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting a prescription from your GP (Part 2)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, my experience with prescriptions has reached new heights of ridicule this month. A few days ago at the end of June, we moved from Oxford to Derbyshire, in fact we actually now live in the Peak District. Due to my massive drugs requirement from the NHS I need frequent top ups with drugs, hence [...]]]></description>

		<title>Directory Enquiries</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OK, this isn't about ringing anybody up, this is about using the Internet to find out the telephone number of a business. To be specific, I wanted to find out the non emergency number of the police in Oxford so I could report a car which looked as if it had been stolen, then crashed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Aren&#8217;t solicitors wonderful</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I'm in the process of buying and selling a house and can't wait to tell you how wonderful solicitors are. My own solicitor is not only handling the selling of my own house but also handling the purchase of my new house - all at the same time. Now, he was instructed with these two [...]]]></description>
