Labour Conference 2008: Manchester Welcomes ...

Night on the beat includes picking up conference pass (no news tips, but tremendous service), attending a Town Hall reception with the rhodamine coloured Mayor's hair (more than a few news tips, thanks all), and a Fabian gathering at Kro (goodness, you Fabian dark horses you! plots, reshuffles, histories and futures). Walk across town to car. En route seeing John Denham's bag carrier seeing no benefit figure-wise either from the lazy fashion for wheels on bags or from the vertical stripes of his shirt. And then home again via a local shop rip off. Oh! for a local Tesco Metro Late. G "B" Hoon now shooting the breeze with A Neil. Doing quite well for a "B"oon, as it goes. Still no sightings of Dale in the house. Doctor Rupa's having to do morning papers on Sky TV in his absence.
