On this day, the ‘Constitution for Europe’ becomes law, and the ‘President of Europe’ becomes our head of state. The Queen is still the Queen, but she is now subject to the provisions of the new constitution.

My Father has just texted me with the news that Facebook and Twitter are to merge, the resulting facility will be called "Twitface".

Comment and name a subject, and I will write you a Drabble; exactly 100 words of bespoke fiction, just for you (and everyone else reading it, of course).

I have recently purchased a nifty Dyson Handheld Vacuum cleaner. Now,

Who'd have though it.

I was itching to get to work this moring - I think it might be scabies.
