Round Up

Well, the Toon lost to Fulham, wife is depressed. They now need to beat Villa to stand any chance of staying up. Here's hoping!

I spent two days in Court this week, and 45 minutes in the witness box being cross examined. I know the difference between being a bailee and an involuntary bailee now. Useful I'm sure. Judge was a bit tetchy, our Barrister was unusually a) quite sensible and b) quite feisty. I'm still fat. I am taking the adios pills , they make you fart and your stomach makes loud growling noises. I haven't done much exercise. I went for a 5 mile bike ride today. I'm knackered!!

GCSEs have started for my daughter and A levels for my son. The wife is super stressed about this and the fact that her mother had a knee replacement operation last week. She seems to be recovering well.

The MP expenses scandal has dominated the news all this week. Some of them have behaved exceptionally badly in maxing their claims,but of course it's not their fault it's "the system". The same people who want to obtain our DNA and force us to have ID cards and have stealth taxed us to fund their wars and eroded our civil liberties in the name of freedom obviously hold us in contempt and see us dumb cows to be milked to sustain their ruling elite. Orwell was right, some pigs are more equal than others. A pox on them all and their corrupt ways.

Thanks to the Blogospehre and The Vinyl Villain (see "Ones To Watch") I have discovered a great band. They are called Cloud Cult and are from Minnesota USA. Here's a link to their website where you can stream some of their stuff. A bit Arcade Fire in places but honest, refreshing stuff
