    Some good music on there - thanks guys.

    Enjoyed the KT Tunstall - not seen that before. Loved her boots too - want a pair... :D

    The Kate Nash was good - shows how much I know; I thought that was Lily Allen.

    Do all current female poppettes just do the one accent???

    I was going to a concert this weekend. I managed to lose both set of car keys in the last 24 hrs.

    I think I may have a gift

    Hamish and the butterfly effect

    I feel a bit bad about posting this as I know Mr H already has trouble getting his head through the door but I was wondering if he may end up writing his memoir about how a party hack turned an election through the power of online communities.

    Could one person writing on a few forums change perceptions enough to revive the housing market and then swing the entire political pendulum? I postulate that prior to Hamish most forums were almost universally negative and ths would self reinforce sentiment and in turn ripple out to the real world. Hamish arrives and starts posting upbeat but 'sensible' (key bit here - no point being OTT or unsubstantiated as he needs to be seen to engage in discussion not just get ignored). Gradually he turns sentiment on house prices just by making it appear that there are 2 viewpoints rather than just negativity so there becomes a middle vaguely optimistic position for others to hold. And having achieved this for house prices he is ideally placed to start linking political arguments to his outlook along the lines of 'Like what you are seeing on housing, the Tories might wreck it whereas Labour will try and sustain it'.

    So if you are a hack and this has been a deliberately orchestrated campaign I take my hat of to you 'Mr McTavish' from 'Aberdeen'.
    I think....

    But does Hamish and his back story really ring true?
