Wednesday 1 August 2012 Wednesday 1 August 2012 New feature
Up on the top menu you will notice a new archive feature. It works, which is a good start, and I will sort out the look and feel of it later in the week. The full body of data from day one is now available. Any suggestions or tips would be very welcome.
More than a few people have suggested to me that we should have a more advanced search system available to access the wealth of data in this blog. We happen to agree. We are doing what we can with what we have, but in order to make it seriously cool (and fast), we would have to upgrade our hosting to a dedicated SQL server and that costs money that neither of us can spare, as all our spare time goes into bringing you this blog as you presently find it.
While the upgrade to the new site has been hugely successful and nothing much has changed for the user, I have been working in the small hours to create time saving tools for the boss, so he can concentrate on doing what he does best. We are now posting automatically to the forum from the blog and the spammers are now gone! We are also working on Facebook integration, among other things. We must mutate to survive.
That said, it is only through your donations we have made it this far, for which we are ever grateful. We don't often ask for donations, nor do we like doing it, but this stuff costs money. We don't expect donations since we will do this either way, but if you would use our donate button to chuck in the price of a pint of Taylors, that would make us very happy.
P.S. You will have noticed the recent upgrade to the look and feel of the site. None of this would have been possible were it not for the patient coaching by our late friend Sandy Rham, who is still very much sorely missed.

Peter North 01/08/2012 Eurocrash: thinking the unthinkable
The negativity associated with the euro project is now so corrosive that it is hard to see how the single currency can last.

Some signs have more meaning than all the rhetoric. This is one of them. An article in this newspaper discussing the possibility of a Franco-German split would have been unthinkable even a few years ago.
