Is it me, or is it cold out there?


I think I need a suit made out of a duvet.

But the weather aside, I had GMTV on this morning (it encourages me to leave for work), and I saw an interview with the lady on the right. She's the government's pensions minister. And her name's Kitty. I think that's possibly the most brilliant thing Gordon Brown's ever done. What better way to appeal to the elderly than to appoint a pensions minister called Kitty? The Tories have got someone called Maude, but frankly they're not going to beat Kitty unless they find themselves an Ethel. It's like having Van Morrison as Minister for Transport.
