Weekly Warblings.
Sunday, March 25th, 2007Budget Blunder ?
Another budget here in the UK last week. Headline news was the 2p cut in income tax…From next year…and the fact that one rate of income tax was being abolished completely…and that car tax & petrol were going up…This year…was picked up by those who had some nous about them. I now cannot wait for our next general election.
Just not Cricket.
The tragic death of Bob Woolmer at the cricket World Cup overshadowed what had been an interesting sporting occasion. No one deserves to be murdered, least of all in the name of sport. I hope they find his killer and bring him to justice. As a side issue, the Pakistan Vs Ireland result being investigated has taken away what was, on the surface, a fine result by the Irish.
Go…in the name of all that is decent in Football, Go !
England’s limp 0-0 draw against Israel again proved Steve McLaren is blatantly the wrong man to manage the national side. He’s a good “number 2″, but never as a manager in charge of the side. Get rid of him, bring Venables in on a temporary basis until either Stuart Pearce, Peter Taylor or Steve Coppell are ready to take the job on full time.
The Lions continue to Roar.
2-2 against Crawley Down last weekend, 2-2 against Southwick midweek and a 3-0 thumping of East Grinstead yesterday. Five games unbeaten, 4 points clear at the top of Division 2…promotion here we come. (Special mentions to Mr & Mrs Titch “Looking forward to sharing the car with our favourite Gate-Stuntman on the St Francis Journey” and to Chelsea Phil….that image of the ball fetching is still making me laugh even now!)
Jeremy Clarkson.
Having worked very hard this week, I decided to “slum it” a little in my reading matter. I enjoy Jeremy Clarkson’s witterings on Top Gear, and was pleasantly surprised to find his books are just as entertaining.
Currying favour
My regular haunt of the Pagham Tandoori paid host to Pompey Nev, Mrs Pompey Nev and myself last night. Another excellent feast. Highly recommended if you’re ever in our part of Pagham.
Jade from Big Brother…
Has nothing to do with the game Jade Empire. As I mentioned before, it’s a superb game, and given the balls-up that has been made over some console conversions, it’s a pleasant surprise to find one that has gone X-Box to PC so easily.
You did remember to put your clocks forward didn’t you ?…
‘Nuff said !
