Sad, but true

Bob Dylan dreamed he saw St. Augustine.

Last night, I dreamed I was on a camping holiday with my sister, brother-in-law, and the Bristol Blogger.

Our reactions were not dissimilar, but Bob puts it a bit more poetically:

"I awoke in anger,
So alone and terrified,
I put my fingers against the glass
And bowed my head and cried."

Bristol's leading investigative blogger at work..

Gary Hopkins, England Manager

Things are hotting up on the Bristol-Bath railway path.

The petition is now heading for 7000 signatures.

The Evening Post, until now an enthusiastic supporter of the crackpot BRT plans, is apparently preparing a"major feature" about wildlife on the path. You can email j.hunter@bepp.co.uk with your tales of newts, bats and frogs. Could this be a start of a u-turn?

There are also signs of growing cross-party opposition.

Paul "Mr Bean" Smith has come good on his promise to oppose the plans, although Bristol East MP Kerry McCarthy seems to be mainting her silence on the issue.

Meanwhile, we are promised that a LibDem statement on the issue is imminent. While we await this, I'd like to invite readers to reflect on another uncanny similarity.

Could Bristol's former waste supremo and the hapless England manager have been separated at birth? I think we should be told.
