Come on Andy - Wimbledon treats

Seriously frustrated at the moment watching Andy Murray in action, although he is one set  up against Robredo he keeps making unforced errors - silly boy, but despite this he will win.   Good on Laura Robson for her win.
Commentators are the biggest pain in the backside, so totally negative,  why do they just not commentate on the game and stop speculating -  Castle and Lloyd were the mediocre never never men, so dry up boys and give us peace.

Tram works,  not just content with making a botch up with the last batch of concrete which is now being dug up again  - one hotel in Haymarket was told that the road would be open by the end of May,  now they are saying  "by the end of summer"  -   BUT one of the workmen cut through a mains power supply so the whole of the area was without "leccie"  for two and a half hours over lunch time on Wednesday, so bookings had to be cancelled and premises closed  ( no redress to the culprit).

I note that G.P.s turned down an offer for £500 plus per night to help fill shortages in Lothian hospitals !!!!!    obviously making plenty at home -  unless it is a political agenda to make a point -  our so called masters in the Scottish Office and Health boards are paying the price for previous cuts at the sharp end.

The third Forth Bridge is to be called the Queensferry Crossing, that's nice,  and Mr Fishy Salmond was seen posing with a nice new sign,   however, we hear that he is not going to the Open Golf at Muirfield, as he apparently objects to the fact that the Club is a gentlemen Only  club,    probably did not want to buy a ticket as he was not invited  -  but he is going up to open a tournament at Castle Stuart -  me, not sure that I would bother who declared the tournament open.

Police Scotland are now in trouble with their new logo,   yet another monumental waste of money - total re branding - why,  and Mr House has announced that his new computer system will now cost £60 million,  just a bit more than the original quote of £12 million -  why is no one surprised any more at botched up public spending -  he will just have to pay off a few more officers, and with morale at an all time low may get plenty volunteers.

The Mercat Grill, is now officially the name of the Whitcraig bar and restaurant,  approved at the meeting of the East Lothian Licensing Board - and also permitted to use the hog roast machine and barbecue - thank you.
