Things you don’t see very often, part 28. Saturday morning, I was awake early, listening to the birds coughing, and decided me and Wolfie would go up the hill. So there we were, at 7am, topping the Worcestershire Beacon.

MPs must stay in tune with what our constituents, the people who elect us, are really thinking, and not get caught out by simply believing our own party political propaganda.

Well this is the last diary from me as I hand over the weighty (2.2lbs) mayoral chain of office to my successor at tonight’s annual council meeting.

What is it about the sudden (brief) taste of sunshine that makes the british public shun their normally shy reserved nature and do things completely out of character? I see in the worcester news this week that the police intervened when (drunken) locals decided to go skinny dipping in the river severn - not the brightest of moves have you seen the colour of the water - no thanks!!)

And as for some of the outfits you see people wear - doesnt bear thinking about. Lots of bare milk-bottle white flesh on show really not a pretty site!! Still i can hardly talk spent my day off this week in the park and then in the garden with my shirt off - now at least ive been working out in the gym but im certainly no adonis!

Ive recently got hooked on a online game called travian - you have to build medievil villages stopping yourself being conquered, building defences training troops etc very interesting and i get 'points' everytime i get somebody to join - its completely FREE so if anybody wants to take a look - im in world 3 / sector 3 if any locals want to compete with me...

Adding to the list of things you don’t see very often that I mentioned last week.

The threat from international terrorism is real and severe. It shows no sign of diminishing. The director general of the security service said recently that the police and security agencies are currently dealing with some 30 known plots and more than 200 groupings or networks, totalling about 2,000 individuals. As we have seen, the terrorist threat is aimed at causing mass casualties with no warning, and with no limits on method – including the use of suicide attacks.
