Erm, actually……
I’ve been busy recently, mainly with the book, but also battling a slight addiction to The West Wing. Have ploughed through seasons 1 to 3 in the past two weeks, and I’ve noticed that our local video store also has seasons 4, 5, 6 & 7 in stock. Posting might get even more patchy than it has been for a while.
Nevertheless, I’m still keeping a weather eye on my sitemeter statistics and discovered odd referrals coming from this article in the Guardian Online from which I draw the quote;

The big brother forces at traffic HQ can't be that astute, though - they haven't yet rumbled his blog.Well actually this isn’t very accurate, as quotes and samples from this blog have been circulating around our office for the past year. Gave me a bit of a turn when I first saw it. For a few seconds I was convinced I’d been outed before I took a deep breath and got a grip. Said samples have even been put up in our mess and the tea room at control. Fingers have been pointed, but they have no evidence and I’m saying nothing.

Hello there!
I would like to spread the word that there is a veritable storm brewing on British military fora about the decision by a FCO bureaucrat in Kathmandu not to allow Gurkha, WWII veteran and Victoria Cross holder Tul Bahadur Pun into the UK.
The reason given was that he "failed to show strong ties to the UK". Not only was he awarded the Victoria Cross for exceptional bravery in Burma, he was also invited to the coronation of the queen, had tea with the Queen Mother and his name is engraved on a monument on the approach to Buckingham Palace. "No strong ties to the UK" indeed!
Here is a BBC link to the story: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6709561.stm
This is one of the key military sites pushing for a reversal of this decision, the British Army Rumour Service: http://www.arrse.co.uk/cpgn2/Forums/viewtopic/t=66783/postdays=0/postorder=asc/start=1230.html
In the past few days, thousands have already signed this petition: http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/gurkhas-rights/
You can also e-mail support@vchero.co.uk to voice your opinion about the decision by the British embassy in Nepal; the solicitors of Tul Bahadur Pun VC will ensure that it will be provided to the immigration judge dealing with the appeal.
Please pass this on to friends and family! This FCO decision really must not stand.
