Ephems on holiday
Ephems is going on holiday tomorrow, Sunday 14 September 2008, until the end of September. So there'll be no new posts and no responses to new comments. But keep them rolling in anyway!
Back online in October to discover what happened at the Labour Party Conference, whether Gordon is still the prime minister, and whether Senator McCain has by then an obviously unbridgeable lead over Senator Obama.

It might even jolt Britain, under its new government, into taking the EU seriously at last.)
