West Bromwich has recently recieved proposals for the redevelopment of the Queens Square. What do you think?

400 years old today. In Sandwell, we fly the union flag over our concil house every day of the year. Other councils don’t (Dudley, for example). What does the flag mean to you and should we be flying it over more public buildings more often?

I never thought that there would come a time in my life that I would plan more than a week ahead. So having a child and thinking about the next 20 years was a big shock (pensions, life insurance, child trust funds, schools, etc). I’m getting used to it now. In fact, I quite enjoy the thought of knowing where I will be in two years time.

So can you help me sort out a couple of weeks in July or August? I want to learn:

1. How to use photoshop
2. A basic grounding in DTP – either Quarkexpress or InDesign.

I want to learn either in the Midlands or London. I don’t mind paying (although not a lot) and I don’t mind sharing a class room with others.

Any advice or ideas would be appreciated.

For some time now I’ve been having trouble getting into the engine room of this blog. This is partly to do with the house of commons security stuff. The legendary Clive who keeps this blog ticking over has also given up on the server that this blog is currently stored on. Sometime soon now, I’m gonna be moving and upgrading to the latest version of movable type. Can’t wait. Anyway, hope to be blogging more frequently soon.
