It's close to Pirbright - and there's something evil lurking on the farm...

Summer Village Fete - August '07






(Still technically) Friday August 10th - Both of our protagonists are a little shy today. Prince is playing Show 5 of 21 tonight. I have scouts in the audience, who have promised to deliver me their opinions of the show. I'll give them a few hours for the awe to wear off first.
At the moment, foot and mouth seems to be staying put. There have been rumours of third and fourth affected farms in this neck of the woods. There have also been murmurings of Legionnaires Disease. Not a good look. It's not long now before the sleepy hamlets of Surrey begin to resemble something out of Thriller.
Gordon has also been called upon to grant fast track visas to Iraqi translators. Understandable really. Iraq:Under New Management doesn't appear to be panning out all that well. I'm not sure the locals are as receptive to McDonalds, giant casinos and Desperate Housewives as George would have hoped. And no matter what the Channel 4 polls say about the worst places to live in the country, a two bedroomed flat in Weston-Super-Mare is probably infinitely preferable than being blown up in your car as you get ready to head off to work, for helping the 'liberating' forces. Go on, Gordon. Have a heart. Give the people who probably saved the troops from getting killed a whole bunch of times a chance.
The 3AM Girls got a scoop from Prince though. They have confirmed that his hero is King Solomon. He of 1000+ wives. You'd never guess from the songs...
