there is so much news in the press these days about the antics (criminal or otherwise) of our bankers, politicians, and the hierarchy, that it was nice to spot someone the other morning with a bit of backbone about him. The wee soul was not put off in the slightest by the big mini bus bearing down upon it - so no problem, brakes on in time and off he headed to sort out some bugs in a nearby garden.
Mr. Diamond, the so called banking fall guy, has resigned, NO he should have been fired along with a few others and their golden handshakes frozen - as I have said before, irrespective of their actions, the rich get richer while the poor get poorer.
It will be interesting to see what the effect is of all the people who are now transferring their bank accounts from the RBS and the other banks involved in the interest rate rigging, to the likes of the Post Office and the Co-Operative Bank.
Sportingly (or not) the Spanish certainly gave the Italian football stars a bit of a lesson , well done, made for a game worth watching ; our own Andy Murray, ticking along nicely at Wimbledon ( living on strawberries and chilling with his play station), has made it to the quarter finals, next stop not so straight forward.
Bit concerned recently with a few contributors to the social network, Facebook whose comments are uncalled for, bullying, and possibly verging on criminally offencive - tut, tut, need to be a bit more restrained or careful.
I am somewhat baffled as to how two fighter aircraft, flying in the wide blue skys, with Millions of £'s worth of high tech kit, and experienced crews manage to collide in friendly airspace writing of god knows how much taxpayers money - surely better off playing with the RAF,s so called simulators.
Wee bit of rain around, Tyne Bridge blitzed by multiple lightening strikes, Scottish Game Fair in Scone cancelled at the weekend, all sorts of horrendous weather in the USA - nice lead up to the Olympic Games (which I appear to be going to have lots of time to watch), and which will hopefully not interfere too much with the rest of Wimbledon.
On a countdown now till Monday, but plenty more to do between now and then - off Southwards on Thursday, working Friday and friends coming up for a "wee swallae" at the weekend - looks like I might need a rest next week after all.
