My years at secondary school were somewhat turbulent. This is due to a range of factors, none of which I am to expand upon here. Over the years in something of an attempt to forget my time there coupled with an overwhelming apathy, I have lost touch with pretty much everyone I was at school with. The odd email files back and forth between the two I considered to be the closest of my friends, but even that has significantly diminished in regularity of late. I am not sure if it is due to my wanting to forget, laziness or having been away too long. (12 years since I left Essex!) For whatever reason it is something I regret, both are married and I missed both weddings, something I am very sorry for.

So it was with interest that an email flashed into my inbox the other day from a most unexpected source. Is nice to catch up and good to hear from you after all this time :)

Something else to think about... how reliable is a general election where they mess up your electoral registration thingy and you dont get to vote? Do they have a look at the demographic and mess up the applications of a certain group of people do you think? So they nag at all those people who can not be bothered to vote and those of us who want to - cant! I am decidedly unimpressed.
