With what I posted from Caroline Lucas MEP, and what I was reading on 
the register last night, even someone as lowly (in IT terms) can see 
that this is something to celebrate!

Oh, and my partner Clare just rang me to say that apparently we've got 
the 2012 Olympics as well - and it's Ken Livingstone and the Princess 
Royal that are "now wearing smiles that you couldn't punch from their 
faces"!
