It’s super special awesome chocolatey super fudge coated mega democratic process time!

Yep, you heard me, it's polling day. We've got some interesting folk standing for the EU parliment this time around (though the switch from Single Transferrable Vote to a Closed List system still bugs me, it may be easier to understand but it's also less transparent and I prefer to vote people rather than parties where possible), so if you want to have some influence in Europe, see if anyone local to you is saying things that make sense and throw them a vote.

Alternatively, if you're stuck in an area where there's nobody of any damn use or interest standing at all, go out and spoil a ballot in an obvious and deliberate fashion to show them you're willing ... but they're not giving you anyone worth your vote. (Or if you're so inclined, figure out who the best strategic anti-BNP vote would be for in your area and throw them a vote to keep Griffith's little bastards out of power).

In other news, Ezekiel has been doing delicious things to my hair over the last couple of nights (she's made me look like a pixie or something, 'tis marvellous) and while doing so, has found my first grey hair. I am super-delighted by this fact and have named it George in celebration.
