Not much in the way of good news, except for the footie

No real update on Mondays escapade at the Dolphin Inn - Police are now investigating, and there has been a good article in the Edinburgh Evening News. I thought the locals might have heard something, but nothing so far, other than a lot of anger directed at the villains who stole all the charity monies, which had been accumulating since last June.

Made it to RA 500 last night at Bonnyrigg, not as many as usual as there was a big meeting taking place at Dunbar, however, with a candidate this month and the next two meetings we had a really good evening on the floor, followed up by a cosy supper in the lounge.

We had some lovely customers in the Conservatory for lunch today, no complaints, plenty praise, and even a request for a "doggy bag" - and, in conversation - a few minutes of reminiscing and blasts from the past.

On general topics - I did say a few days ago that I felt sorry for Ally McCoist being landed keeping things together at Ibrox , and today there was an excellent item in the paper praising him for his efforts to date. In the meantime Craig Whyte is is MIA, as is most of Rangers money.

I was disgusted to hear that the head of the UNITE trade union was advocating for his members to disrupt the Olympic Games, totally disgusting and certainly not "proper and British" - comrade. On the theme of unions, I am kind of disappointed in the people at UNISON, Edinburgh, who, despite their promises are not quite getting their act together.

Someone who also has not / or ever had his act together was Mr James Murdoch of News International - one who speaks with forked tongue, heading off to the USA to mess up Sky TV no doubt. I see that Al Jazeera TV are possibly going to outbid Sky for some of the football rights.

A wee bit of brightness in the sporting world, with Scotland being the only home nation team to win this evening - but watching the news item, the English and Welsh managers were "chomping" away on chewing gum, something which I find seriously off putting, Alex Ferguson being another - but the biggest no no for me is when someone is doing an up front presentation / talk, etc and chews all the way through it
