New photo software from Google - Picasa

Picasa is software that helps you instantly find, edit and share all the pictures on your PC. Every time you open Picasa, it automatically locates all your pictures (even ones you forgot you had) and sorts them into visual albums organised by date with folder names you will recognise. You can drag and drop to arrange your albums and make labels to create new groups. Picasa makes sure your pictures are always organised.

Picasa also makes advanced editing simple by putting one-click fixes and powerful effects at your fingertips. And Picasa makes it a snap to share your pictures – you can email, print photos home, make gift CDs, and even post pictures on your own blog.

To get your hands on (download) Picasa scroll down the right hand navigation menu on this web page and click on the Google photo link button.

Forest Ward - Election of councillors May 4th 2006

If you are unhappy with the way the borough (and especially our ward) is run then NOW is the time to do something about it!

The following persons are nominated for election as Councillors for Forest Ward on May 4th 2006.

Abrahim, Imran - Liberal Democrat
Bedlow, Rosalind Jane - Green
Dhillon, Kabal Singh - Labour
Farmer, Jean Ivy - Conservative
Finlayson, Nial - Conservative
Lyons, Gerry Anthony - Labour
Mitchell, Murle Ammoie - Liberal Democrat
Phillips, Sean - Conservative
Qureshi, Mashoodul Farooq - Liberal Democrat
Yunis, Faiz Rasul - Labour

Looking at this list in my opinion it is obvious that we have a very well worn list of candidates and very few options as viable alternatives (read one). No wonder more people abstain these days than vote. British politics is screaming out for new blood and new ideas. Party politics is a dead duck that is stinking up the country! Bring on true local independent only candidates and get rid of the three old boys networks I say!
