I'm trying to get the hang of writing blogs, it has been so long since I have been able to that I've almost forgotten. Well, if anyone is interested, I am back in circulation.

Snooker Final

Sun, 06 May 2007 22:08:39 +0200

While watching I felt that I recognised Mark Selby, then it dawned on me that he is a dead ringer for Gary Cooper. The older generation will know who I am talking about. What think you?

Camels ears; you may think a camel is ugly and has no redeeming features, all you have to do is at the next available chance, look at its ears! They are are lovely.

Gordon Brown.

Tue, 17 Apr 2007 19:53:03 +0200

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, “Don’t trust Tony Blair” Especially if your name is Gordon Brown. Not only is he not to be trusted, he is going to spike Brown’s guns with a heigh-nonny-no but he will escape the blame as usual. If I were Gordon Brown I’d tell Tony to stuff the job of Prime Minister, and get out while the going is good.

Quiet reminiscing.

Sun, 08 Apr 2007 19:41:23 +0200

Today my X and I went to visit a friend whom we had known in Alexandria, Egypt. They own a caravan which is not too far away from us in Dorset. She has seen a lot of life and is so full of life and it was just wonderful to see her again.
There was a lot of reminiscing about people we had met and places we had been to, the high jinks we had got up to, who was still alive and who had kicked the bucket.
I had a wonderful day.

Scotland Yard Investigates

Sun, 01 Apr 2007 00:38:02 +0200

Scotland Yard sent out “detectives” to discover Miss Maxie’s murderer in Nassau in the Bahamas in the sixties.
They did not succeed. It was known who was instrumental in the murder of Miss Maxie

Mr Woolmer’s demise is somewhat similar. The 'detectives' will get a sun tan and that’s about it.
Or maybe they will get a black man to ‘confess’.

Last train from Glasgow Central

Sun, 25 Mar 2007 00:21:25 +0100

Have you ever missed the last train? I did when I was a student in Glasgow. I got a few newspapers and tried to make myself comfortable on a park bench in George Square in ‘no mean city’ Glasgow.
I had got myself blootered in a drinking establishment near Queens Street railway station. Those days are more or less gone but they still bring good memories. The milk bottles were on the doorstep when I got back home to Dalry.

Lawyers from hell

Mon, 19 Mar 2007 21:40:42 +0100

Why is it that we have programmes about plumbers,electricians etc. under the heading of 'tradesmen from hell' on television but nothing, not a cheep (do you like the pun) about lawyers. They are allowed to charge an hourly rate which resembles more like taking sweeties aff a wean than the so called honorable profession which it used to be.

This is a situation predominated by Irish forward passes and a blind referee.

Cha cha cha

Tue, 13 Mar 2007 01:12:20 +0100

Recipe for my divorce.

Do any of you young lasses know how to dance the Cha cha cha? Nor did I until I was in the Bahamas (I know it sounds like bullshit) When I was on one of the Out-islands a young lady taught me to, previously I could not cha cha cha and when my wife realised this and put two and two together I was doomed.

Invitation to die.

Sun, 25 Feb 2007 21:27:11 +0100

This evening I will watch on BBC2 at 9.00 o'clock the story about the death of Dr David Kelly the British government scientist, who, in my opinion, was threatened to such an extent that he took his own life.
This has always been my belief, and in spite of the programmes findings, still remains my opinion.

Recalling the Past.

Tue, 20 Feb 2007 20:07:07 +0100

“Nothing recalls the past so potently as a smell.” Winston Churchill , taken from My Early Life

Among other memories I recall the wonderful smell of Les Halles when it was near Chatelet in Paris; how can anyone like the smell of rotting fruit and vegetables? Very easily, it was close to where my true love lived at that particular time.

Whistle an' I'll come tae ye.

Thu, 15 Feb 2007 23:30:27 +0100

Why is that the television commercials and “live” television have impersonators to do any particular whistle? I spent hours trying to whistle using my fingers. The easiest was using the two pinkies, (for the uninitiated the small fingers) thereafter I would use the index finger and the pinkie on the same hand to whistle. I still cannot whistle using my thumb and second finger.

How’s that for a bit of useless information?

There's all this hoo-haa about Muslims; the infiltration of the Chinese is interesting. How many Chinese establishments are chez vous?

Years ago I was in Lockerbie and mentioned about having a Chinese meal, I was told in no uncertain terms 'that there's nae Chinese here'
I wonder if it has changed.
