Two years ago this was a silly question. Now it seems to be a perfectly valid one. By the way, the credit crisis seems to be a great opportunity for Cadbury to execute a great marketing plan in disguise - the Credit Crunchie.

A pretty good summary on the trouble with Swedish media. Available in English via Google, translation is automatic so some things won't make sense.

Great North Fun
12,057 people were faster than me. However, they still cannot take away the fact that I managed to beat my time from last year =). I finished my second Great North Run on 1h 58min 48sek.
My aim was to finish on or around 1h 45min. That obviously did not happen. I also learn that running becomes so much more unpleasant when you try to achieve a certain time. Next year I will have a more structured training and just do it for fun - and then the result hopefully will come by itself (is that English?).
Congratulations to all the charities which raised money. I pray it will all be used wisely to help people in need.
Tomorrow is a dissertation seminar. I am still slightly confused.
And Governor Sarah Palin does not play a fair game. Interesting to see whether the Senators Obama/Biden can stay focused when the Republican election winning machine gets going.
Obama/Biden are better for business according to the latest issue of the Economist. Get it if you are interested in American politics. Special feature in this issue.
I also pray that British Airways will change their short haul sandwich menu. Pretty tiring getting the same grub on intra-European flights as on UK domestic. Their new ad is class though.

Due to Popular Demand
Today is the last Friday before university makes its comeback into my life on Monday. Many new faces; which is good fun.
Tonight is a meal with the Christian Union. I should probably not eat much as it feel like eating is what I have done most of the time this week. Having said that, I went for a massive run in preparation for the Great North.
Well, to the airline business then. The latest news is that Alitalia will get saved. I am not sure that saving Alitalia is a good idea. There are too many subsidised seats out there already. My assumption is that very few Italians are proud of the product Alitalia provide to their customers.
Meanwhile, a few airlines have joined Boeing in a campaign for a sustainable jet fuel supply chain. Basically, the airlines have as customers decided what they would prefer to buy. Now it is up to the energy companies concerned to improve their share of the process. It seems like these airlines and Boeing did not try to get the energy companies involved in this. If that is the case, I am surprised nobody spoke to any of them first as they are the jet fuel suppliers.
Tonight is the first debate between The Hopefuls, aka Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain. It is on 2am BST and perfectly visible on Sky News. People would argue that Senator McCain is better for business. I would like to turn that argument around. Personally, I believe Senator Obama has the policies to create a world where international businesses have less to worry about. His ability to listen will be important to the relations with countries east of Britain.
Even though I will never be the president of the United States (yeah, even I have realised that), I hope to find myself in a position where I can make a difference in a year from now. I will graduate next summer, and companies have expressed interest in me. Hopefully I will be able to convince potential employers that I will be a good fit. I guess my age of 24 is the only thing they could have against me.
Anyway, it would be a great challenge to enter the labour market in a recession. A challenge I actually look forward to.
