More will be coming next week and the week after, so keep watching the blog. It makes all those lunch times burrowing in the library for nuggets worthwhile.

The Question Time event report also got 278 hits for part 1, and 185 for part 2. It is, if I may sound my own trumpet, the most comprehensive report on the event. Media reports were focussed largely on just one item, but this took in the lot, done from the scribblings in my trusty notepad.

And a look at how tourism misleads by not giving bed night statistics, but purely arrivals is here with 159 hits. If Guernsey’s more comprehensive survey is anything to go by, at least 45% of the arrivals are locals returning not visitors.

And from a year ago, 149 hits on the political cliché of “testicular fortitude”, my analyisis of the term, and how it has an implicit sexist attitude. It seems to have vanished from Jersey politics in the meantime.
