Travel: It is likely that, soon, it would seem like the right thing to do to visit a good friend and his wife and the person that currently resides in the wife's tummy bump, in Cornwall. The idea of driving is not appealing. Recalling the same journey, by rail, got me thinking.
.
Do you have a favourite rail journey? If so, which is it?
.
Politics: You are presented with the opportunity to ask any question to any contemporary mainstream political figure, with the promise that you will get an open and honest response to that question.
.
To whom do you pose your question, and what is it?
.
Sport (or otherwise): In England this week, one of the most over-used phrases has been 'There's no such thing as friendly, when these two teams meet'. The point being that we are assumed to loathe all things German, rather than dare to admire such qualities as good organisation and marshalling - as is so often evident in their football team. This got me thinking.
.
Is there, in any context - sporting or otherwise, a team or individual that or who you are often keen to see defeated? The notion strikes me as, well, just not British. Then again, if one tries hard enough, and does a bit of lateral thinking...
.
Good week to you.

Politics / Music / Internet
This week’s preponderances:-
POLITICS: This question comes from my hearing commentators speak of the Liberal Democrat leader - Nick Clegg’s - efforts to avoid sounding like a Conservative during his main party conference speech.
What, if anything, do you feel there to be missing from the mainstream political landscape (as you perceive that)?
MUSIC: Next, a question borne of the Last of the Summer Wine theme tune:
Is there a musical instrument that sings for you, in ways that other instruments (played well) just don’t quite manage?
INTERNET: The next question emerges from my Facebooking the fact that for practical reasons I’m going to have to join one of those social networking sites.
Have you landed on any websites recently that have really drawn you in – more so than do most newly landed-upon websites?
More frippery next week.
