Sniff

Two things I don't especially need at the moment are a bad cold and mysterious computer problems. However, intermittantly crashing software and a voice like a thrash singer is just what I have.

The forum last night was quite a success. Pete Morgan (editor of Socialist Review) spoke about the elections in Iraq, and the continued resistance to occupation. Five new people turned up - who asked intelligent questions and actually listened to the answers.

Still got that dratted essay to write. But as that requires thought, and my head is full of treacle, I'll do something that requires no thought whatsoever - just some patience. I'm going reinstall all my nonworking software.
