Prescott Free

The world of politics was dealt yet another devastating blow today, as one of its finest ambassadors declared that he was to step down from his post as deputy prime minister and MP for Hull. John Prescott announced that he would be following in the footsteps of Tony Blair, who left the Labour Party only a few months ago, instead opting to stay out of the limelight in the foreseeable future.

Fellow enthusiast of the political, The Rt Hon H. McNabb noted: "It won't be hard for Mr. Prescott to stay out out the limelight, because he has shone away from it the majority of his political career. For many members of the general public this news story will most likely be ignored as yet another anonymous duffer resigning from a Government they were to apathetic to even look up on Wikipedia, never mind vote for. But although he is relatively unknown by the masses, he has indirectly touched the lives of many by spending much of the taxpayers money in a truly unique way"

JP also announced a farewell tour today, similar to that taken by Mr.Blair earlier this year. However, while that tour took place over the several months, Mr. Prescott has decided that his farewell will be slightly longer than that of the man which he dubbed "most famous Blair since Lionel". In fact 10 years longer, so long in fact that to pack everything in he had to start his farewells in 1997 which explains why his political style has been notably relaxed - although sometimes unfairly dubbed "irrational, amateurish and irresponsible" by certain extreme publications such as The Funday Times.

From September, he will start what has been dubbed "the lap of honour" on his decade long farewell which include popular holiday destination Disney World, which responded so well on earlier visits on the tour that to fail to visit them again would be a discredit to prezzer's fans. He will also appear on numerous TV shows including doing a lap in one of his Jags on Top Gear, whilst the Stig races the other, Look North, Calender, Ready Steady Cook, Mastermind, Car Booty. He has already pre-filmed an appearance as an assistant on Countdown's "Dictionary Corner", where he was given an award for "Most Articulate Participant"

Unofficial Bandwagon Alert

Before I get started, I'd like to make perfectly clear that there will be no (intentional) humour in Today's post - so I apologise for anyone who came here looking for a proper update and instead found this almost self congratulatory editorial explanation. You may leave now and I might post something in the next week that will be of interest to you - or maybe on the last day of the month as usual.

For those of you who have decided to keep on reading, you may well have been observant enough to notice that I've had a spring clean of the blog. The main reason for this was that I felt the overall look of the old blog had run its course, the writing was small and unclear and that rarely helps any humour to flow. The old design also came into question when I was checking the blog in Internet Explorer and for some reason it looked slightly different, and not in a pleasing way either. I myself use firefox and I foolishly presumed that i)so did everyone else who would ever want to visit this site and ii) that it wouldn't look the slightest bit different in IE anyway. I remember checking the site in IE briefly when it launched on blogger last August but not checked frequently since. Anyway with this new look I have checked the look in both browsers and it looks fine.

Another rectification is the search function, located towards the end of the sidebar, now properly works - or at least it did when I tested it earlier. So now you can search away to your hearts content to find some of my hearty content.

Hopefully with a clearer and more concise blog this will mean it's a lot easier to use for everyone. Let me know of any thoughts you have on this new look, or any bugs or anything in the comments box.
