Andy Howell has a podcast on his site containing a chat between Andy and yours truly about political blogging. It convinces me that whilst Andy has the sort of smooth, rounded tones one would associate with a chap of his breeding... my nasal brummie tones are best kept unrecorded. Still, it was good fun doing it, and I know Andy has ideas for further developing the podcast routine.
On the subject of political blogging, I was due to speak about that at a Conference in London tomorrow on e-democracy... but this dreaded bloody lurgey which has reduced me to a croak for the last week meant I have had to cry off I'm afraid, which is a great pity because I don't often get a day down in the smoke these days. Also, I was looking forward to meeting up again with Paulie who is also on the speakers' list.

I believe that I am alone in liking the Brummie accent above most others.
Get well young man. See you soon.
