Rugby league fever in Edinburgh

So much for going back to bed after my airport run , lots to do while Mrs. B. was at her bowling practice. Sun was supposed to shine but it was a bit overcast with the odd dribbles of rain - which eventually did clear up by the time I left to go back to Bookers and then The Mecat Bar. the pub has been busy as Edinburgh has a big crowd in for the Rugby League tournament on at Murrayfield Stadium. It is quite interesting as we have two different sets of supporters in at the moment, Irish lads watching the Heineken Cup match between Munster and Leinster, and of course the finals are here in Edinburgh in three weeks - they say they are watching real rugby compared to the rugby league lads upstairs !!! as long as the scrums remain out in the street.

Gone a bit quiet at the moment, but with a nice evening there will be a good crowd at the stadium who will empty back onto the streets after 9 p.m.

There was a big bit in the paper about the ongoing saga with the death of Baby P down south, where senior members of Social work dept of Harringay Council, and a couple of workers were dismissed. Little was said about the Doctor who would not treat the child when he was taken to the hospital with a broken back !!
Anyway , now appears that the "stepfather" also raped the sister two years ago when she was aged 2 years, and has been found guilty, having denied that charge as well. May the sick, rotten ba*****d rot in hell - hopefully some of the prison population will deal with him at some stage , although he is likely to be put in safe custody along with all the other sex offenders and pedophiles.
Many years ago we had a similar child rape on New years morning in Witchwood Crescent, Peebles, on that occasion it was a friend of the family, in for a drinking session with the couple, when the husband passed out this sicko threatened to kill the wife with an axe and then raped the two year old. he went to jail and believe it or not , on his release came back to live in the area. The little girl required regular surgery for years afterwards to constantly repair her injuries as she grew into womanhood.

Penicuik Rugby Club celebrated their 85th Anniversary last night with a big dinner in the Craigibield Hotel, Penicuik, last night with around 130 persons attending.

Now in The Mecat for the rest of the night and quick turn round in the morning -
