Tattoo ; bike rides and the X Factor.

Been a busy weekend at the Grill  so as half expected I did miss the ride out from Glasgow on behalf of the young paramedic,  but I have heard that the group who took part had a great day out and covered nearly three hundred miles - well done.

TV tonight, BBC screened the highlights of the Edinburgh Military Tattoo, brilliant, a real spectacle and I am sure the thousands who watched it live on the Castle esplanade will take back memories to the far flung corners of the World.

What a contrast to the start of the latest series of the X Factor where the odd balls from all over the "Universe" appear to have congregated to torment us - talk about trying to sort out the wheat from the chaff  - hopefully there will be someone reasonable to stop us switching over.

On a different note - some really harrowing images of immigrants fleeing from Syria and Libya , drowning the the sea as overcrowded ships / rafts sink, and then seventy one bodies suffocated in the back of a truck in Austria.   Time these criminal gangs were lined up and shot.    What amazes me is that despite all this publicity about people fleeing for their lives, there are still families in the UK who are heading off to support the IS scum - just how stupid are these folks.    Lord knows what these countries will do if the conflict ever ceases, there will be no one left to rebuild the infrastructure,
