Oh so much to see in Rome.
I always get very deep in thought at the Coliseum.I
I travelled more this time and came across a beautiful town Vipiteno in the far North of Italy.
I went to Milan too and loved my time there.
I think I'll head back again next year.

Oh I imagine there'll be lots to catch up on here.
In fact once I got off the plane and out the airport looking at news headlines, after being away from phones and internet for over 2 weeks, it did feel like I'd dropped into a warzone ha ha.

I despair for the UK at times almost.
I think it's near ungovernable.
I can't recall who said it but there's a wording from someone, that if there's beings on other planets it seems like they use Earth as a mental asylum dumping ground.

Something like that it goes anyhow.

Good to be back though and really glad you are okay and staying sane.

I'm glad that you enjoyed yourself Joey.

What was your favourite part?

And I've been doing well thanks, you've missed some crazy threads/posts on here that you wouldn't believe would even exist.

Whilst it's been entertaining, I have definitely missed your sensible and rational posts on here, but I am glad that you got to have a bit of time to just relax away from here and from your job.

I have Mock.
Just got back today.
Got away from phone, internet and everything.
Had a brilliant time.

I knew this message would be from you before I looked at it
Thank you for it.

Hope all has gone good for you these last weeks.
As always all my best to you and yours

How have you been doing Joey?

I hope that you've been enjoying yourself in Rome.

I'm glad that your hard work has paid off Joey, hopefully Labour/Sir Keir Starmer can deliver what I think people want in this country.

And hopefully you enjoy your time in Rome, I always hear good stuff about it.

I'm doing fine thanks, I have just watched a YouTube video that was a bit bleak, but other than that I have been having a good few days in particular.

And thanks Joey, I'm glad that you're enjoying the Music Game, it's honestly sad how we don't really get a high production version of this type of competition on TV/Streamers anymore.

And again thanks Joey for your kind words, I honestly can't believe that I'm up there tbh, I'm usually down at the bottom.

And hopefully you will have a strong end run on the Prediction League too.

And thanks Joey, I wish you and yours the best as well.

Pretty worn out Mock.
Really threw myself into campaigning in the election and it was exhausting.
However loved every moment, got very little hostility.
People wanting a bit of hope and more serious acting government.
The results were very hard worked for so really rewarding and when you see your efforts rewarded that's great.
On the 15th I'm off to Rome for 16 days.
Back on 1st August.

How have you been lately too, hope you're having a good weekend.
I see you've done the final songs in your game.
I'll play them today and relax.
I wish more had got involved because it's been a superbly presenterd game, plus being with music really entertaining too.

Plus too the Euro footie .
Oh gosh I haven't really concentrated much on it but it's great seeing you right up there in contention to win it .
I'd love to see that.

Thanks for message Mock
Enjoy the rest of the weekend and all my very best to you and yours as always.

Hello Joey, how have you been doing lately?

Good luck with your campaigning Joey.

And thanks, hopefully the top 6 Round will be just as exciting.

If they do what they are thinking I can see Labour voters in seats where the Lib Dems have the best chance to oust a Con.
Then a good number will do so.
Likewise in seats where Labour is best placed to best a Con.
Lib Dems are likely to back Labour there.
The Greens are odd.
I haven't been able to work them out yet.
They get very cagey when you chat to them.
Well I'll be off out again I. A couple of hours.
Armed with my water and mars bar.
After breakfast it will be likely 3 or 4 pm before I eat properly again ha ha
It's great though meeting so many people and hearing how they feel about things.

Have a good day Mock.
I'll be looking out for the songs you'll be putting forward.

Rooney questioning any other Manager's tactics will always make me cringe inside.

And I agree with you that tactical voting will be big in this Election.

I do wonder if some of the Tory voters swing towards Reform (or vice versa) and that some of the Lib Dems and Green voters swing towards Labour, to keep one of the other two out.
