Mystery solved

For those who are interested, the case of the chair-sniffing politician continues: here is a full description of the infamous incident, which turns out to be even more peculiar than it sounded in the first place. As a result of the sniff and his subsequent weepy confession, his leadership came under scrutiny and he narrowly survived a party vote to maintain his position. Other people have now come forward suggesting that there are still more dubious events to come to light. Oh, good.

I got another postcard from Patrick and Daniel today. Still no specific mention of what it's advertising, but part of the message ("Lucky we had broadband on board!") makes me suspect my ISP, which phoned me recently in an attempt to make me sign up for mobile broadband. So that was a dull resolution to my mystery mail.
