Shame on the government if they meddle with the laws on abortion.

I didn't spend my time fighting David Alton's Bill to get kicked in the teeth by the Labour party, of all people, twenty years later.

Don't do it.

Makes me very cross!

It's gone. Cine City - or Sin City as we wags of South Manchester used to call it - has gone. It is rubble.

It's been closed for years. Years and years. Now a bulldozer has squished it.

But I remember when it was open; cute little cinema too. Had love seats up the back and I once went on a date there. With a lovely half-dutch boy. Who I phoned up and asked out and he said 'yes'. Ooh he was lovely. I was 22.

And even though it was a six-week thing and he moved back to London and sent me poetry *shut up, you philistines* and then, of course, stopped writing and I went out with other boys, Cine City has always reminded me of him. Sooty haired, dark eyed, big smile.

And now it's rubble. And it seems a bit sad. A crumbling memorial to a half-memory was one thing. It all seemed fitting and I kind of enjoyed the nostalgia. A spanking new block of flats is quite another. Will ruin it. Pah.

Either someone's invented the gin fairy or I managed to forget about a bottle of Plymouth's finest while in dissertation hysteria world.

I must have been stockpiling like Princess Margaret. It was all a bit of a blur towards the end *no, not because I was permanently tipsy, cheeky* what with the going to work, going to library, coming home, writing notes up and occassionally running into supermarkets and grabbing stuff.

Anyway, i went into spring cleaning frenzy mode on Sunday and lurking at the back of the recycling cupboard was a full, unopened bottle. Hussah!!

I've gone all snuffly rabbit now the sun's shining and the pollen's wafting about.

I don't mind but is clearly annoying Nibs.

It makes me snuffle in the night, a lot. And when I say 'snuffle' truth be told it's more like a drowning dolphin. I have woken myself up and wondered what the hell the dolphin noise was before I realised it was me, drowning in my own snot.

But however annoying it might be, sleeping next to a drowning dolphin, I only need to be rolled onto my side. I don't need to be rabbit-kicked awake. i know I'm annoying, but no one needs to be woken up like that. Mean boy.

But I have had my revenge; with all that lack of sleep I have forgotten to reset the alarm this morning.

Mwahahahahahahaha *tishoo* mwahahahahahahah!
