Hong Kong National Day!!!!!!!!! Just a few days after the mid autumn festival (Ronald promised to bring in some moon-cake for me to try, but he still hasn't. Ah well there we are. Sukkot started yesterday, but I don't celebrate it so did nothing. Dawn of War arrived on Tuesday, and I have been playing it in the evenings quite a lot. It's not bad, at least compared to other GW games, but the single player campain seems a bit short, and although there is a skirmish mode, it needs more single player stuff. Hopefully people will start to create mods for it, perhaps with a Chaos campain. Kieron Gillen has done a good review of it, you can find a link to it at his Blog ( www.gillen.blogspot.com ). I read it quite often, and it's rather good. Only just a win for Labour in the Hartlepool by-election ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/3705866.stm ), with Lib Dems in second place- not bad, considering that Lab. had a 14,000 vote lead. Tories were in forth place, so not all bad. However UKIP coming third... not good, but they are taking votes from the Tories, so that's good, as long as they don't become too powerful.
