The near-collapse of global capitalism, the near-collapse of Gordon Brown, the opening of some shops in Bristol city centre: there's a lot going on at the moment. So I'll let you off if you're not yet up to speed with the St. George West byelection.
Sadly, Labour councillor John Deasy died suddenly last month. There will now be a contest to fill the vacant seat.
St. George West is easily the most underrated area of the city. In fact, it's a miracle that it hasn't already been overrun by members of the National Trust/National Childbirth Trust (delete as applicable). As the election approaches, I'll be bringing you some of the highlights of what you'll soon be calling the 'Poor Man's St. Andrews'.
Plus, the inside story of the election, featuring imploding Tories, 'local boys' from Chippenham, and much much more.
Polling day is October 9, and the Green Party candidate is the excellent Nick Foster.
