Let's get ready to blog! Again...
Tension is rising as we dive spread eagle into L2L round 11! So this weeks question, whoa hang on a minute I can't give sneak peeks, oh what the hell,
When the clock strikes noon tomorrow we'll all be dueling with our sidearms of dialect on the street of dialogue in a town called debate. What will be the focus of all this conflict... well the new question of course which I can exclusively reveal is,
'Is immigration destroying national identity?'
Well get going my blogging beauties get on LoveToLead, I haven't got anything else to say, except that Jack, well he's back.
Sayonara,
Sam.

Jack's gone and done a runner...
Ok, Jack was quick to discuss a certain lack of commitment from members of the LoveToLead Team when they disappeared into the wilderness, well guess what...
Yup, Jack's left us. He is, reports suggest, mingling with rockstars and models at some kind of promo event neglecting his L2L duties with a blatant disregard! Who'd choose champagne and sushi-bites with Kate and Pete over the drama of L2L?!?!?
The mere mention of sushi as I read this back to collegues has turned Jason into a slavering creature of the night. In this incarnation he will now race to M&S for pre-packed raw fish for one...god love him.

Enough already with the rhinos!
With the new question up on LoveToLead I feel it is my duty to shift attention from the ‘shmaltzy cutesy’ miracle of life shenanigans to the ultimate gift, death.
Is euthanasia fundamental to civilised society?
Allow me to wade in with my widow maker of a scythe and deliver an angle on this. I always figured that in the lives we lead only two things really matter, love and death, romantic I know. Of this proclaimed partnership the more significant is death, being that it has a greater rigidity and presence, it’s more tangible.
Thus, death as I see it needs to be courted, dismissed and eventually denied to reach a completeness of existence, a nirvana of sorts. To do this, one must take away the power that death enacts on each and every one of us. The nullifying of the inevitable is an almost impossible task, but euthanasia maybe tied into this. Whether it's right or wrong I don’t know, that's for you, the occupants of the blogosphere to decide over at LovetoLead… sorry.

Shmaltzy cutesy stuff - and I make no apology either ;-)
Everybody loves rhinos... Those big horned warriors of Africa who stride majestically across the plain. Powerful but gentle.. In one instant able to gore a predatory lion showing too much interest in their young, and in another - nuzzling an infant or showing signs of rhinoadorable affection.
And that's why I thought I'd share with you this delightful link from the BBC Devon website - all about a rhino giving birth live online... Bless it
Now the internet has been widely derided - "Good god" shout some detractors "It's all about porn and filthy individuals selling their illicit wares online". "Oh no" yell others. "The freedom of media and material is corrupting our nations youth!"
Well - to them i say... Here's an example of the internet being used at its brilliant best. A natural phenomenon that the vast majority of the human population will never witness - and yeah, ok, it's kind of voyeuristic, but at the same time, birth is a beautiful thing - and not least the birth of one of these majestic, and endangered, species.
Just imagine the viewers of all ages who have enjoyed something rather magical this morning - and without having to pay a penny! It's a testament to something I believe strongly in... And that's to spend time doing and experiencing as much as you can...
And when you've finished why the hell not blog about it too? :-D

Hurrah!!
The new question is up!
Can money buy happiness?
And the entries are piling up already - with some quality articles on display - one of which is a poem! Get your words up on the board - meanwhile, I'm off to read what's already there x

I'm feeling great today - and there's more prizes on L2L!!!
And I just thought I'd share that with you..! Sun is beaming down on the rustic little town I find myself in, and as ice cream drips from the slowly melting cone of raspberry ripple I have furnished myself with, sometimes you realise there just isn't anything better than a fresh spring afternoon. -breathes deeply- And what's more... I have some super news from deep within the Love To Lead vaults!
And i quote....
"And now for some handsome news. As is the nature of love to lead, we here at the hub of the competition are continuously impressed by the quality of the vast majority of entries that come flooding through the virtual doors every week – and it always seems a shame that we can’t reward everyone’s sterling efforts. And, despite a whip-round, we still only managed to raise enough for a pint and a bag of chips…
However, the good folks at Toshiba have relented and offered us another brand new Toshiba Portégé R400 laptop, on offer for the entry (over the whole 16 weeks) that is deemed the very best of all, whatever position it finished in its respective week. The winner will be notified at the end of the competition and crowned king (or queen) of Love to Lead (and if you’re an anti-monarchist, we can quibble about the title).
Whether comic, moving or informed, any article can win."
So yes! We've secured a laptop to give away to the article that is regarded as the very best of the entire campaign... Wherever the blog post was voted - be it first, last or anywhere in-between - it has the chance to win a Toshiba Portégé R400!
If you have any nominations of genius articles that you feel should win... Do let us know won't you?
Oh... and next weeks question is CAN MONEY BUY YOU HAPPINESS?
